4 Installation Instructions
4.1 Check System Components
4.1.1 Replacing the Sealing Element
Damage to the Sealing Element
If damage to the sealing element, separator ring, or grip ring is
discovered, contact a Viega District Manager for assistance.
Do not use metallic pointed or sharp objects during
removal because they could damage the sealing element
and/or bead. Try using a toothpick instead.
If the sealing element in the fitting is obviously damaged, it should be
exchanged for a Viega replacement sealing element.
▶
Insert new, undamaged sealing element into the bead.
▶
Check to make sure that the whole sealing element is in the bead.
▶
Remove the sealing element from the bead.
