Geopress K gas

Gas flow monitors
Optionally integrated into a coupling or into a support sleeve for connecting pieces of the tapping valve.

Labeling
Manufacturer, Pipe dimension, Batch, Yellow dot on press end when used for gas, Traceability-​Code for component tracing

Press connector with Smart Connect Feature
Inadvertently unpressed connections become visibly leaky when the system is filled.
Viega guarantees the detection of unpressed connections in the following pressure ranges:
min. water pressure: 0.1 MPa / 100 kPa / 1 bar / 14.5 PSI
max. water pressure: 0.65 MPa / 650 kPa / 6.5 bar / 94.3 PSI
min. air pressure: 22 hPa / 2.2 kPa / 22 mbar / 0.3 PSI
max. air pressure: 0.3 MPa / 300 kPa / 3 bar / 43.5 PSI

Dimensions
d32–63, Tapping valves: d63–200

Tools
The functional safety of Viega press connector systems depends primarily on the faultless condition of the press tools used. Viega recommends the use of Viega press tools for pressing Viega press connectors.

Areas of application
Gas
Liquid gas in the gas phase
Hydrogen

Note
Use of the system for areas of application and media other than those described must be agreed in consultation with Viega. Detailed information concerning applications, limitations and national codes and standards can be found in the product documentation, either printed or on the Viega website.

Note – Standards and approvals
Permitted pipe types for gas supply lines and tapping valves: PE 80/100/100-RC in accordance with DIN 8074, DIN 8075, DIN EN 1555, GW 335-A2.

Operating conditions gas installations
operating pressure max. 1.0 MPa / 10 bar / 145 PSI
The maximum operating pressure and the maximum temperature depend on the type of pipe used and the specific application and have to be tested in particular cases.

Materials press connector
