Viega Profipress hood 35 (2456)

This closing cap is part of the Viega Profipress central heating, air and water pipe system.

Because copper is used, the connector cannot be connected to any other metal. Copper has antibacterial properties, requires little maintenance, and has a long lifespan.

Properties

The Viega sealing cap has a maximum operating temperature range of 85°C with a maximum pressure of 16 bar for drinking water systems. For central heating pipe systems, the maximum operating temperature range is 110°C with a maximum pressure of 16 bar. The connector is equipped with the SC-Contur press test.

Quality mark

This Profipress cap is Kiwa-approved. This makes it suitable for drinking water systems with a pH greater than 7.4.

Assembly

The Profipress T-piece is connected to the Viega tool.

Pressing takes just 3 steps:

• Cut the pipe to size and deburr the ends to prevent a noisy pipe.
• Mark the insertion depth and slide the pipe into the coupling up to the marking.
• Check that the press jaw is in the center of the raised edge and press the coupling.
• Thanks to the SC-Contur, unpressed connections are immediately detected during a press inspection. If the pressing is not performed correctly, water will leak from the coupling without it detaching from the pipe when pressure is applied.

For a wet pressure test, the pressure range is 1.0–6.5 bar, and for a dry pressure test, the pressure range is 22 mbar–3.0 bar. A clear drop in pressure is visible on the gauge during a dry pressure test.
