tubing to the marked depth. End of tubing
must contact stop.

the press tool and push in, holding pin until it
locks in place
Warning!
Keep extremities and foreign objects
away from press tool during pressing

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.
Testing for unpressed connections using
Smart Connect is not a replacement for
pressure testing requirements of local
codes and standards.
CAUTION!
It is the responsibility of designers of
piping systems to verify the suitability
of type 304 and 316 stainless steel pipe for
use with the intended fluid media. The fluid’s
chemical composition, pH level, operation
temperature, chloride level, oxygen level, and
flow rate and their effect on AISI type 304 or
316 stainless steel must be evaluated by the
material specifier to confirm system life will
be adequate for the intended service. Failure
to do so may cause serious personal injury
or property damage. Contact Viega Technical
Services for questions and approvals.
7
Open the jaw and place at right angle on the
fitting. Visually check insertion depth using
mark on tubing.
8
Hold trigger on press tool until press jaws have
fully engaged the fitting. Jaws will automatically
release after a full press is made.
2
Deburr inside and outside of the tube to
the proper insertion depths to prevent
cutting sealing element. Use a wire brush,
Scotchbrite pad, sand cloth, or sandpaper
to remove loose dirt and rust particles from
the pressing area.
3
Check the sealing element for correct fit. Do
not use oils or lubricants. Use only Viega
sealing elements.
Cut tubing a minimum of four inches
away from the contact area of the
vise to prevent possible damage to
the tubing in the press area.
