Intended use
INFO!
The press connector is suitable for the construction of potable water installations in accordance with applicable guidelines, taking into account the selection of materials in accordance with applicable guidelines and in accordance with the assessment basis for metallic materials in contact with potable water of the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), see Regulations from section: Intended use . For use in other areas of application and in case of doubt over the correct material selection, contact Viega.
During assembly, observe the instructions for use of the piping system in question.
Areas of application
The Sanpress slip coupling is suitable for the retrofitting of a T-piece in a metal Viega piping system with press connectors.
Use is possible in the following areas among others:
Potable water installations
Industrial and heating systems
Solar installations with flat collectors
Compressed air systems
District heat supply systems in secondary circuits
Cooling water pipelines (closed circuit)
Potable water installation
For planning, execution, operation and maintenance of potable water installations, observe the applicable regulations, see Regulations from section: Application areas .
Maintenance
Inform your customer or the operator of the potable water installation that the system has to be maintained on a regular basis, see Regulations from section: Application areas .
Sealing element
Only EPDM sealing elements are approved in potable water installations. Do not use any other sealing elements.
Media
The model is also suitable for the following media, amongst others:
For the applicable directives, see Regulations from section: Media .
Potable water
Max. chloride concentration 250 mg/l
Heating water for pump hot water heating systems
Compressed air in compliance with the specification of the sealing elements used
EPDM at oil concentration < 25 mg/m3
Anti-freeze, cooling brines up to a concentration of 50 %
Handling
Assembly
Installing the slip coupling
-
Mark the pipe cut-out, but do not connect the T-piece and the slip coupling.
x = total length of the T-piece + length of the insertion end of the slip coupling
-
Cut out the piece of pipe with a fine-toothed saw or with a pipe cutter, making sure that the cut is at a right angle.
-
Deburr the pipe ends on the inside and outside.
NOTICE!Damage due to the wrong tool!
Do not use sanding disks or similar tools when deburring. The pipes could be damaged by these.
Deburring prevents the sealing element being damaged or the that the press connector cants when mounted. Viega recommends using a deburrer (model 2292.2).
-
Dispose of the separated intermediate piece.
-
Mark the minimum insertion depth on the pipe end.
-
Push the slip coupling all the way on.
-
Push the T-piece onto the pipe as far as it will go.
-
Mark the insertion depth.
-
Push the slip coupling all the way into the T-piece.
-
Make the press connection according to the instructions of the piping system.
Leakage test
The installer must perform a leakage test before commissioning.
Carry out this test on a system that is finished but not covered yet.
Observe the applicable regulations, see Regulations from section: Leakage test .
The leakage test pursuant to the applicable regulations must also be carried out for non-potable water installations, see Regulations from section: Leakage test .
Document the result.
Maintenance
Observe the applicable regulations for the operation and maintenance of potable water installations, see Regulations from section: Maintenance .
Disposal
Separate the product and packaging materials (e. g. paper, metal, plastic or non-ferrous metals) and dispose of in accordance with valid national legal requirements.
