Read and understand all instructions for installing ProPress ttings. 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 ne-toothed steel saw.
2. Remove burr from inside and outside of tubing to prevent cutting sealing element.
3. Check seal for correct t. 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 tting 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 tting. Visually check insertion depth using mark on tubing.
8. Start pressing process and hold the trigger until the jaw has engaged the tting.
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.
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 identication 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 tting 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.
