Making Viega PureFlow Crimp
Connections
Viega products are designed to be
installed by licensed and trained plumbing
and mechanical professionals who are
familiar with Viega products and their installation.
Installation by non-professionals may void
Viega LLC's warranty.
Zero Lead identifies Viega
meeting the lead free requirements of NSF
61-G through testing under NSF/ANSI 372
(0.25% or less maximum weighted average lead
content).
The tubing should be cut squarely and evenly
1
without burrs. Uneven, jagged or irregular cuts will
produce unsatisfactory connections.
The diagram shows a correctly cut tube compared
2
with an incorrectly cut tube.
3 Slide the crimp ring onto the tubing and insert the
fitting into the tube to the shoulder or tube stop.
4 Position the ring ⅛" to ¼" from the end of the
tubing.
5
The ring must be attached straight. Center the
crimping tool jaws exactly over the ring. Keep the
tool at 90° and close the handles until it stops.
CAUTION!
Do not crimp twice!

When checking crimp connections with a
caliper (GO/NO GO gauge), push the gauge
STRAIGHT DOWN over the crimped ring.
NEVER slide the gauge in from the side. Do not
attempt to gauge the crimp at the jaw overlap
area. The overlap area is indicated by a slight
removal of the blackening treatment. A crimp
is acceptable if the GO gauge fits the ring and
the NO GO does not. A crimp is unacceptable
if the GO gauge does not fit the ring or the
NO GO gauge does fit. An incorrect crimp must
be cut out of the tubing and replaced. If you
check the crimp connections with a micrometer or
caliper, use the dimensions shown in the table.

Adjustment Procedure
This tool is adjusted at the factory and no further
adjustment should be required before first use.
7
Should the tools, through extended use, require
adjustment, follow these instructions:
■
Close tool handles until pre-load is reached (this is
the point at which jaws meet).
■ Measure the distance between dots on the handle
ends as shown. The correct distance is 8" to 8¾"
■ To increase the pre-load setting, remove the #6-32
eccentric lock screw (A) and push up eccentric
from back to disengage. Rotate counter-clockwise
to increase the handle pre-load and clockwise to
decrease handle pre-load. Push down eccentric
and re-install the #6-32 lock screw (A) in the
appropriate hole which most closely yields the
desired handle dimension.
■ Recheck the set distance after making three
crimps.
■ Check the crimps with the Go/No-Go gauge
provided. If crimps do not pass testing, the tool is
likely worn and should be replaced.
Tool Maintenance
■ Check tool calibration at least daily. It is
recommended that at least the first and last crimp
of the day are tested.
■ Never exceed the specified handle distance when
adjusting your crimp tool. Premature wear will
result.
■ Lubricate pins and linkages on a regular basis to
maximize tool life.
