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.
Ensure sealing element is free of cuts and
damage. Do not use oils or lubricants.
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 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.
6
Mark proper insertion depth as indicated
by the ProPress Insertion Depth Chart.
Improper insertion depth may result in an
improper seal.
Viega ProPress 2½" to 4" Fittings
For Hard Copper Tubing.
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.
7
While turning slightly, slide press fitting onto
tubing to the marked depth. End of tubing
must contact stop.
8
ProPress 2½" to 4" fitting connections must
be performed with rings that are compatible
with fittings. Do not mix actuators and
rings from different manufacturers. Use
of ProPress XL rings and/or actuator (for
bronze fittings) will result in an improper
connection. See Operator’s Manual for
proper tool instructions.
CAUTION!
Use only rings that are compatible
with ProPress 2½" to 4" fittings.
■ Use of incompatible rings will result in an
improper connection.
■ Do not mix actuators and rings from di󶈴erent
manufacturers.
■ Do not use rings intended for 2½" to 4"
Bronze 󶈵ttings.
