PureFlow Press Hand Tools
The Viega PureFlow Press connection
must always be carried out with the
aid of a Viega PureFlow Press tool.
The hand tool incorporates a forced
compression mechanism to complete a
secure connection each time. A ratchet
inside the tool prevents the tool from
being opened until the proper force
has been applied to the press sleeve. A
safety release screw allows the tool to be
opened at any time, but any connection
made without full tool compression must
be repressed. The tool handles are color
coded to match the PureFlow Press tool
locator rings.
The reduced grip feature permits one-
handed operation, making the Viega
PureFlow Press system ideal for tight
spaces and awkward locations. The
compression of the tool also allows press
connections to be made in temperatures
as low as -4°F.
PureFlow Press Power Tools
The Viega PureFlow Press connection
may also be carried out with a Viega
power tool. These RIDGID
®
tools are
designed to make the same consistent
press as the Viega PureFlow Press hand
tools. The compression of the tool also
allows press connections to be made in
temperatures as low as 23°F.
