Viega ProPress XL-C

For Types K, L and M Hard Copper Tubing in 2-1/2" to 4"

Read, understand and follow all instructions for installing ProPress XL-C fittings. Failure to follow all

instructions may result in extensive property damage, serious injury or death.

1. Cut copper tubing at right angles using displacement type cutter or fine-toothed steel saw.

2. Keep end of tubing a minimum of 4” away from the contact area of the vise to prevent possible damage to the tubing in the press area.

3. Remove burr from inside and outside of tubing to prevent cutting sealing element.

4. Check seal and grip ring for correct fit. Do not use oils or lubricants. Use only ProPress Shiny Black EPDM sealing elements.

5. Mark proper insertion depth as indicated by the ProPress XL-C Insertion Depth Chart. Improper insertion depth may result in an

improper seal.

6. Illustration demonstrates proper fit of grip ring, separation ring and sealing element.

While turning slightly, slide press fitting onto tubing to the marked depth. End of tubing must contact stop.

8. ProPress XL-C fitting connections must be performed with ProPress XL-C Rings and V2 ACTUATOR. Use of ProPress XL Rings and/or

Actuator (for Bronze fittings) will result in an improper connection. See Ridgid Operator’s Manual for proper tool instructions.

9. Open XL-C Ring and place at right angles on the fitting. XL-C Ring must be engaged on the fitting bead. Check insertion depth.

10. With V2 ACTUATOR inserted into the tool, open the V2 ACTUATOR as shown and connect V2 ACTUATOR to the XL-C Ring.

11. Place V2 ACTUATOR onto XL-C Ring and start pressing process. Hold the trigger until the Actuator has engaged the XL-C Ring. Keep

extremities and foreign objects away from XL-C Ring and V2 ACTUATOR during pressing operation to prevent injury or

incomplete press.

12. Release V2 ACTUATOR from XL-C Ring and then remove the XL-C Ring from the fitting on completion of press. Remove

tag from

fitting indicating press has been performed.

Pressure Testing: Pressure testing is to be carried out in accordance with local codes. ProPress XL-C includes the Smart Connect (SC)

Feature providing quick and easy identification of unpressed connections during the pressure testing process. Unpressed connections

are located by pressurizing the system with air or water. When testing with air the pressure range is 1/2 PSI to 85 PSI maximum.

When testing with water the pressure range is 15 PSI to 85 PSI maximum. The SC Feature is an integral part of the design of the

fitting assuring leakage of liquids and/or gases from inside the system past the sealing element of an unpressed connection. The SC

Feature is removed during the pressing process creating a leak-proof, permanent connection.
