1
Cut the tube square using a displacement-
type cutter or fine toothed saw.
Note: Cut tubing a minimum of 4" away from
the contact area of the vise to prevent possible
damage to the tubing in the press area.
2
Deburr inside and outside of the tube to the
proper insertion depths to prevent cutting
sealing element.
3
Check the sealing element for correct fit. Do
not use oils or lubricants. Use only Viega
sealing elements.
4
Mark the proper insertion depth as indicated
by the ProPress Insertion Depth Chart.
Improper insertion depth may result in an
improper seal.
Warning!
Keep extremities and foreign
objects away from press tool during
pressing operation to prevent injury or
incomplete press.
8
Hold trigger on press tool until press jaws have
fully engaged the fitting. Jaws will automatically
release after a full press is made.
9
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.
ProPress ½" to 2" Fittings
5
While turning slightly, slide press fitting onto
tubing to the marked depth. End of tubing
must contact stop.
6
Insert appropriate Viega ProPress jaw into
the press tool and push in, holding pin until it
locks in place.
7
Open the jaw and place at right angle on the
fitting. Visually check insertion depth using
mark on tubing.
Viega ProPress ½" to 2" Fittings
For Hard Copper Tubing in ½" to 2"
and Soft Copper Tubing in ½" to 1¼".
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.
Testing for unpressed connections
using Smart Connect is not a
replacement for pressure testing
requirements of local codes and standards.
Copper tubing must be free of
surface imperfections, including
metal stamped print lines, before a
ProPress fitting is installed.
