Press connectors are available in a number of shapes. An overview of the press connectors suitable for the system can be found in the cata‐ logue. The press connectors in the Profipress S system consist of the following materials: Copper Gunmetal/silicon bronze Fig.
Short-term peak temper‐ Comments — — atures ≤ 280 °C Consultation with the Viega Service Center required. 2.3.5 Markings on components Markings on press connectors The press connectors are marked with a coloured dot. This identifies the SC-Contur, where the test medium would escape in the case of an inadvertently unpressed connection.

The exchange of a sealing element is generally permitted. The sealing element must be exchanged for a designated spare part for the intended application Ä Chapter 2.3.4 „Sealing elements“ on page 12. The use of other sealing ele‐ ments is not permitted. Profipress S 15 from 24...
Exchanging a sealing element is permitted in the following situations: if the sealing element in the press connector is obviously damaged and should be exchanged for a Viega replacement sealing element made of the same material if an EPDM sealing element in Profipress connectors should be exchanged for an FKM sealing element (higher thermal resistance, e.
