Viega Propress offers a high degree of flexibility for gas
and drinking water installations. This is guaranteed with
multiple components that are suitable for dimensions from

a unique the Viega Smart Connect-Feature. The Smart
Connect feature provides a quick and easy way to identify
unpressed-connections during the pressure testing
process. If the connection has a leak, the “dry” leakage

test is carried out with water, this visibly escapes from the
unpressed fittings in the pressure range of 100 kPa to
