IM-PP 599834 0320 ProPress Stainless
■ As long as the tubing is properly prepped and marked
and the 󶈵tting is installed according to Viega’s
ProPress Stainless Product Instructions, if there is any
de󶈶ection present after the installation of the 󶈵tting,
the connection is still acceptable and meets Viega’s
manufacturing speci󶈵cations for proper installation and
warranty.
■ De󶈶ection of a press connection has no e󶈴ect on the
integrity of the system, and it can be pressure tested
in accordance with the ProPress Stainless Product
Instructions.
Re-Press
▶ Press the 󶈵tting, once on each side (that is, re-press the 󶈵tting a
second time on the opposite side). Pressing the same connection
from the opposite side will usually straighten misalignment between
the tube and 󶈵tting.
■ When pressing overhead piping, it may be inconvenient to alternate
sides for each press.
■ The natural weight of the piping plus pressing on opposite sides at a
45 degree angle should adequately eliminate de󶈶ection.
■ This technique can also be used for any horizontal piping and also
when working above the piping.
