1. Marine Certificates of Viega Press Connectors

2. Working Pressure

The Viega press connector system with the Smart Connect feature enables detection of unpressed connections, as they become visibly leaky when the system is filled. Viega guarantees detection of unpressed connections within the following pressure ranges:

Test medium: Water

• Minimum pressure: 0.1 MPa (100 kPa / 1 bar / 14.5 PSI)
• Maximum pressure: 0.65 MPa (650 kPa / 6.5 bar / 94.3 PSI)

Test medium: Air

• Minimum pressure: 22 hPa (2.2 kPa / 22 mbar / 0.3 PSI)
• Maximum pressure: 0.3 MPa (300 kPa / 3 bar / 43.5 PSI)

Operating conditions – potable water installations:

• Maximum operating pressure: 1.0 MPa (10 bar / 145 PSI)

Operating conditions – heating installations:

• Maximum operating pressure: 1.0 MPa (10 bar / 145 PSI)

3. Dimensions

Size range: d16 – 63mm

4. Piping Applications

a) For solid-walled plastic pipe:

• Potable water

b) For multi-layer pipe:

• Potable water
