Product description
Overview
INFO!
Viega gas fittings conform with the requirements of DIN EN 331. The gas fittings are tested and certified in accordance with the following criteria by the DVGW:
leak tightness in acc. with 3537‑1
higher thermal resistance (HTR)
The model is equipped as follows:
casing made of brass
dual-sided Profipress G press connection with SC‑Contur
test opening < 1 mm
test screw in the dimension G ⅛
wall bracket with fixing set
thermal shut-off system (TSS)
In addition, the model is equipped with a G 2 thread, onto which the gas meter is connected.
The model is lead-sealable and, in addition, can be locked using a commercially available padlock.
The yellow protective sleeve on the actuating lever shows the medium to be gas.
A thermally activated shut-off system (TSS) is integrated into this model.
For fire safety reasons, a TSS is required for gas devices and other components that do not fulfil the HTR requirements. The TSS conforms with the requirements in accordance with DIN 3586.
The model is available in the following dimension: d 28.
Press connection with SC-Contur
The press connection has a circumferential bead in which the sealing element lies. The connector is deformed in front of and behind the bead and permanently connected to the pipe during pressing. The sealing element is not deformed during pressing.
SC‑Contur
Viega press connections are equipped with the SC‑Contur. The SC‑Contur is a safety technology that is certified by the DVGW and ensures that the connection is guaranteed to be leaky in an unpressed state. In this way, unpressed connections are noticed immediately during a leakage test.
Viega guarantees that unpressed connections are visible during a leakage test:
with dry leakage test in the pressure range from 22 hPa–0.3 MPa (22 mbar–3.0 bar)
Sealing elements
The press connections are factory-fitted with yellow HNBR sealing elements.

Markings on components
The press connections 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 model is marked as follows:
MOP5 for maximum operating pressure 0.5 MPa (5 bar)
GT1 for operating pressure with HTR requirement max. 0.1 MPa (1 bar)

Profipress G gas fittings are equipped with press connections.
The press connections are tested and certified with the following types of pipe in accordance with DVGW Worksheet G 5614:
Copper pipes
in acc. with DVGW Worksheet GW 392
in acc. with DIN EN 1057
Stainless steel pipes (material 1.4401)
in acc. with DVGW Worksheet GW 541

Please contact the Viega Service Center for questions on this subject.
Operating mode
Thermal shut-off system (TSS)
The cone seal is pre-stressed with a spring and is held in position by a soldered strut. The solder melts at a temperature of > 96° C. The spring slackens and pushes the valve cone into the outlet. The gas flow is then blocked and the valve is now permanently closed gas-tight.
INFO!
Triggered TSS can no longer be opened and are no longer able to be used.
The complete fitting must be replaced after actuation.

Do not repair damaged components.
Contaminated components may not be installed.
Mounting conditions
Observe the following when mounting:
Observe flow direction indicator.
Observe required space for the gas meters according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Do not cover or paint the model.
Do not install the model in heat zones (e. g. with hot emissions or strong heat radiation.
Use suitable tools.
Exceptions, selection criteria and order of the components are described in DVGW-TRGI 2008 and DVFG-TRF 2012.
NOTICE!
Active and possibly passive protection measures are required to protect a gas installation from tampering by unauthorised persons
Active protective measures must always be taken.
Passive protective measures must be selected and employed depending on the installation.
The use of active and passive protective measures is regulated in DVGW-TRGI 2008, Point 5.3.9.
Required tools
The following tools are required for production of a press connection:
Pipe cutter or a fine-toothed hacksaw
Deburrer and coloured pen for marking
Press machine with constant pressing force
Press jaw or press ring with corresponding adapter jaw, suitable for the pipe diameter and suitable profile
Recommended Viega press machines:
Pressgun 5
Pressgun Picco
Pressgun 4E / 4B
Picco
Type PT3-AH
Type PT3-H / EH
Type 2 (PT2)
Mounting
Mounting the wall bracket
INFO!
Mount the wall bracket first, then the fitting.
The model is equipped with a wall bracket and the required fixing set for mounting on masonry.
The fixing material must be adapted to the ground and to the ambient conditions.
Information about the ground and the ambient conditions are to be found in DVGW-TRGI 2008, Point 5.3.7.
-
Hold the wall bracket in the correct position and mark the drill holes on the wall.
-
Drill holes.
-
Align the wall bracket horizontally and screw on.
-
Mount the fitting on the wall bracket.
Shortening the pipes
NOTICE!
Leaky press connections due to pipes being too short
If two press connectors are to be mounted onto a pipe without an interval, the pipe must not be too short. If the pipe is not inserted up to the prescribed insertion depth in the press connector during pressing, the connection may become leaky.
For that reason, the length of the pipe must correspond exactly with the total insertion depth of both press connectors.
See Required tools for information about tools.
-
Cut the pipe properly using a pipe cutter or fine-toothed hacksaw.
Avoid grooves on the pipe surface.
Pressing the connection
Requirements:
The pipe end is not bent or damaged.
The pipe is deburred.
The correct sealing element is in the press connector.
HNBR = yellow
The sealing element is undamaged.
The complete sealing element is in the bead.
-
Push the press connector onto the pipe as far as it will go.
-
Mark the insertion depth.
-
Place the press jaw onto the press machine and push the retaining bolt in until it clicks into place.
INFO!Observe the press tool instruction manual!
-
Open press jaw and place at a right-angle onto the connector.
-
Check the insertion depth using the marking.
-
Ensure that the press jaw is placed centrally on the bead of the press connector.
-
Complete pressing.
-
Open and remove press jaw.
-
Connection is pressed.
Leakage test
The installer must perform a leakage test before commissioning.
This test is carried out on a unit that is finished but not yet covered.
The general rules of engineering must be observed.
E. g. the following regulations apply:
DVGW-TRGI 2008, Point 5.6
DVFG-TRF 2012, Point 8 (Testing and commissioning of a liquid gas system)
The result must be documented.
INFO!
By employing an overflow cap (model G2360), the continuous gas installation can also be tested without mounted gas meters.
Maintenance
The gas installation must be given a visual inspection, e. g. by the owner, once a year.
Serviceability and leak tightness must be checked every 12 years by an installation contractor.
Gas installations must be operated and maintained as intended to ensure and maintain a safe operating condition. Detailed information on this topic can be found in DVGW-TRGI 2008 appendix 5c.
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.
