IM-PP 599834 0320 ProPress Stainless
2.3 Approved Applications
ProPress 304 FKM and 316 tubing and ttings are physically and
chemically compatible with one another. Care must be taken to
ensure that both alloys are compatible with the uid and that the
proper sealing elements are used throughout the system.

It is recommended that all systems be clearly labeled with the media being conveyed. For further information please consult Viega
Technical Services.
2
All Viega systems must be used with the manufacturer's recommended sealing element.
Contact your local Viega representative or Viega Technical Services for specic application temperature, pressure, and concentration limits.
3
System pressure and temperature ranges depend on sealing element. Any ranges listed above will be overruled by the sealing element
limits here:
3a
EPDM temperature ranges are typically 0°F to 250°F.
3b
FKM temperature ranges are typically 14°F to 284°F with temperature spikes (24hr) up to 356°F.
3c
HNBR temperature ranges are typically -40°F to 180°F.
4
System must contain adequate condensate drainage.
5
Ambient temperatures should be taken as normal operating conditions for the applications not to exceed sealing element limitations.
