Viega Smart Connect technology provides a quick and easy way for
installers to identify connections that need to be pressed. Unpressed
connections are located by pressurizing the system with air or water.
Pressure test all installed pipe in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, in accordance with NFPA 54 or NFPA 58.
Smart Connect Testing
■ Testing for unpressed connections using Smart Connect
is not a replacement for pressure testing requirements
of local codes and standards.
■ If testing with compressed air, use an approved leak-
detect solution.
Water testing with Viega Smart Connect:
■ Use a range of 15 to 85 psi.
■ If an unpressed fitting is found, make sure the pipe is fully inserted
before completing the press.
■ If the initial test is successful, system may be pressure tested as
required up to 600 psi.
Testing with air can be dangerous at high pressures. When air testing with
Viega Smart Connect:
■ Use a range of ½ psi to 45 psi.
■ If an unpressed fitting is found, make sure the pipe is fully inserted
before completing the press.
■ If the initial test is successful, system may be pressure tested as
required up to 200 psi.
Viega recommends air testing of gas systems at a minimum of ½ psi.
Separate the product and packaging materials (e.g. paper, metal, plastic,
non-ferrous metals) and dispose in accordance with all national, state,
and regional requirements.
