Geopress K

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

Labeling
Manufacturer, Pipe dimension, Batch, Green dot at press end when used for potable water, Yellow dot on press end when used for gas, Green/yellow dot on press end when used for potable water and 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 / 1 bar / 14.5 PSI
max. water pressure: 0.65 MPa / 6.5 bar / 94.3 PSI
min. air pressure: 22 hPa / 22 mbar / 0.3 PSI
max. air pressure: 0.3 MPa / 3 bar / 43.5 PSI

Dimension
d25–63, Tapping valves: d63–225

Tools
The functional safety of Viega press connector systems depends primarily on the faultless condition of the press tools used. For the manufacture of press connectors, Viega recommends the use of Viega press tools. Viega press tools have to be regularly maintained by authorised service partners.

Areas of application
Potable water
Gas
Liquid gas in the gas phase

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.
