Viega products are designed to be installed by licensed and trained plumbing and mechanical professionals who are familiar with Viega products and their installation. Installation by non-professionals may void Viega LLC’s warranty.

DANGER!
Read and understand all instructions for installing Pure Flow Press fittings. Failure to follow all instructions may result in extensive property damage, serious injury, or death.

  1. Square off tubing to proper length. Uneven, jagged, or irregular cuts will produce unsatisfactory connections.

  6. Close handles, using trigger to reduce grip span if desired.

  7. If the Pure Flow press tool is not properly aligned with the locator ring, use the emergency release (using a screw driver to turn the emergency release) to open the press tool. Once released, align the Pure Flow press tool properly and go back to step 5.
