IM-PP 599834 0320 ProPress Stainless
2.5.3 Electrical Bonding
When properly installed, ProPress Stainless ttings comply with Section
1211.15 Electrical Bonding and Grounding of the Uniform Plumbing Code
and Section 310 of the International Fuel Gas Code.
The mechanical press provides continuous metal-to-metal contact
between tting and tube. The press ensures the continuity of the bonding
through this contact.
A qualied electrician is responsible for ensuring electrical
bonding is tested and secured.
2.5.4 Exposure to Freezing Temperatures
Viega ProPress Stainless systems with EPDM sealing elements can be
installed in ambient temperatures down to 0° F and with FKM sealing
element down to 14° F. Tubing exposed to freezing temperatures must be
protected per acceptable engineering practices, codes, and as required
by local code.
2.5.5 Underground Installations
Viega ProPress Stainless tting systems are approved for underground
installations. However, installations must meet all state and local codes,
including those for underground. Proper authorization must be obtained
prior to installation from the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
DANGER!
Electric Shock
An electric shock can cause burns, serious injury, and
even death.
■ Because all metallic tubing can conduct electricity,
unintentional contact with a live wire can lead to
the entire system and components connected to it
to become energized. Metal tubing is not meant to
conduct electricity.
■ A properly bonded system creates a safe path for
electricity to travel so that the system can't be energized.
■ An unbonded or improperly bonded system can be a
shock hazard.
■ Always ensure bonding is in accordance with local codes.
