Viega Profipress reduction piece 28 X 22 (2415.1)

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

Because the adapter is made of copper, it has an antibacterial effect, requires little maintenance, and has a long lifespan. The adapter can only be used with copper tubing.

In addition to this adapter, the Viega Profi/Sanpress range includes various press fittings such as:

• curves,
• wire couplings,
• inserts,
• wall plates,
• T-pieces,
• transition couplings.

Properties

The Viega reducer 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. For compressed air systems, the maximum operating temperature is 60°C with a maximum pressure of 150 mbar. The connector is equipped with the SC-Contur pressure test.

Quality mark

This Profipress adapter is Kiwa-approved. This makes it suitable for drinking water systems with a pH value greater than 7.4. This is also indicated by the green marking on the fitting.

Assembly

The pressing is pressed with 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.
