SC-Contur Fig. 4: SC-Contur Viega press connectors are equipped with the SC-Contur. The SC- Contur is a safety technology that is certified by the DVGW and ensures that the connector is guaranteed to be leaky in an unpressed state. In this way, inadvertently unpressed connections are noticed immediately when filling the system.
Permitted mixed installations To ensure proper function, the Viega Smartpress connectors may only be used with the Viega pipes from the systems Viega Smartpress, Pexfit Pro, and Pexfit Fosta. Since the use with pipes of other systems or by other manufacturers has not been tested, proper function cannot be ensured in this case.
