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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

Cut the tube square using a displacement-type cutter or fine toothed saw.
Note: Cut tubing a minimum of four inches away from the contact area of the vise to prevent possible damage to the tubing in the press area.
Deburr inside and outside of the tube to the proper insertion depths to prevent cutting sealing element.
Check the sealing element for correct fit. Do not use oils or lubricants. Use only Viega sealing elements.
- For applications requiring Viega ProPress with FKM or HNBR sealing elements, remove the factory-installed EPDM sealing element and replace with an FKM or HNBR sealing element. See Changing Sealing Elements Product Instructions.
Mark the proper insertion depth (see chart below). Improper insertion depth may result in an improper seal. It is recommended that the depth marking be visible on the completed assembly.

- Tube Size ½” ¾” 1″ 1¼” 1½” 2″
- Insertion Depth ¾” ⅞” ⅞” 1″ 17/16″ 19/16″
  Copper tubing must be free of surface imperfections, including metal stamped print lines, before a ProPress fitting is installed.
While turning slightly, slide press fitting onto tubing to the marked depth. End of tubing must contact stop. Once the assembly is completed, it is recommended that the depth marking still be visible.
Insert appropriate Viega ProPress jaw into the press tool and push in, holding pin until it locks in place.
Open the jaw and place at right angle on the fitting. Visually check insertion depth using mark on tubing.
Warning!
Keep extremities and foreign objects away from press tool during pressing operation to prevent injury or incomplete press.
Hold trigger on press tool until press jaws have fully engaged the fitting. Jaws will automatically release after a full press is made.
After pressing, open the jaw and remove the press tool.
Pressure testing with Smart Connect®: Unpressed connections are located by pressurizing the system with air or water. When testing with water the proper pressure range is 15 psi to 85 psi. When testing with compressed air the proper pressure range is ½ psi to 45 psi maximum. If testing with compressed air, use an approved leak-detect solution. Following a successful pressure test, the system may be pressure tested up to 200 psi with air or up to 600 psi with water.
