■
The minimum clearance requirement when pressing connections near
an existing brazed connection is two tube diameters.
■
To ensure proper sealing of both the soldered and press connections,
a minimum distance when pressing connections near an existing
soldered fitting must be maintained.
Refer to the table below.
4.4 Soldering or Brazing
4.4.1 Using ProPress Near Existing Fittings
Check the fitting to make sure there is no residual solder
or other foreign debris on the tube that will be inserted into
the Viega ProPress fitting.
To prevent damage to the sealing element and ensure proper sealing
of the soldered/brazed joint and the press connection, maintain proper
soldering/brazing distances from the fitting:
■
When soldering near a ProPress connection: three tube diameters.
■
When brazing near a ProPress connection: nine tube diameters.
Refer to the following table.
