Press connectors
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:
n
Copper
n
Gunmetal/silicon bronze

The press connectors have a circumferential bead in which the sealing
element lies. The connector is deformed upstream and downstream of
the bead and permanently connected to the pipe during pressing. The
sealing element is not deformed during pressing.
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.
Viega ensures that inadvertently unpressed connections during installa‐
tion become visible when the system is filled.
