Read and understand all instructions for installing ProPress 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. Remove burr from inside and outside of tubing to prevent cutting sealing element.

3. Check seal for correct fit. Do not use oils or lubricants. Use only ProPress Shiny Black EPDM or Dull Black FKM Sealing Elements.

4. Mark proper insertion depth as indicated by the ProPress Insertion Depth Chart. Improper insertion depth may result in improper seal.

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

6. Insert appropriate Viega jaw into the pressing tool and push in holding pin until it locks in place.

7. Open the jaw and place at right angles on the fitting. Visually check insertion depth using mark on tubing.

8. Start pressing process and hold the trigger until the jaw has engaged the fitting.

9. After pressing, the jaw can be opened again.

10. For applications requiring ProPress with FKM sealing elements, remove the factory installed EPDM sealing element and replace with

FKM sealing element.

Note: All ProPress ttings to be installed with UL listed Ridge Tool Class II Pressing Tool.

Pressure Testing: Pressure testing is to be carried out in accordance with local codes. ProPress 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.
