Geopress K Water
Created for the water supply of tomorrow.
Geopress K offers internal sealing system solutions for supplying drinking water. The press connecting systems made of high-strength fibre-glass reinforced polymer were developed specially for use in ground soil. Combining the advantages of Viega's cost and time-saving press connection technology with the highest material quality and safety of the Smart Connect feature. A perfect combination making Viega the perfect choice for all types of supply technology.
The Geopress K water system from Viega, offers internally sealing system solutions for the supply of drinking water.
The press systems made of high-strength, glass-fibre reinforced plastic were specially developed for use in the ground. They combine the advantages of the time and cost-saving Viega pressing technology with the highest material quality and the safety of Smart Connect feature. A perfect combination that shows that Viega is also the way to go in supply technology.

Right choice of material
When laying pipelines underground, many factors come together that must be taken into account. First and foremost is the choice of the right material. This must not only be suitable for the medium being conveyed, but also withstand the high loads in the ground. Corrosion resistance and durability are therefore enormously important.
-
Economic efficiency
In practice, the issue of cost-effectiveness also plays a decisive role. However, it is not only the price of a connector that is decisive, but also a short installation time and high flexibility. With Geopress K water, work can be carried out regardless of the weather. Pressure tests can be carried out directly after the last injection and even returning water is no problem for Viega press technology. The Viega press connectors are robust, reliable and have high tensile strength.
-
Verisity of the system
Geopress K is available in dimensions d25 to d63 for drinking water applications and is equipped with a blue clamping ring for drinking water.
-
Great flexibility
In addition to numerous connectors, the system therefore also offers some special solutions. Special transition pieces ensure a problem-free connection to other piping systems, for example by means of internal or external threads or screw connections. The repair coupling allows damaged pipes to be repaired quickly and easily. To do this, a short piece is cut out of the affected pipe, the coupling is pushed onto one end and then pulled back. This closes the gap, presses the connector and restores operational safety.
-
Exceptional quality
Every Geopress K connector is equipped with a traceability code according to ISO 12176-4. This code allows component traceability and provides information about the manufacturer, nominal size, material, batch and much more.
-
Always fitting
Geopress K offers the highest possible safety in connection with a great variety of HDPE pipe types. HDPE-80, HDPE-100 and HDPE-100 HSRC – any pipe of the SDR class 11 – can be easily combined with Viega Geopress K.
Reasons to choose Geopress K for water
- For drinking water
- d25 to d63
- Including an EPDM sealing element compliant with the products for use in contact with drinking water, AS/NZS 4020

- Marked with a green Smart Connect feature dot
Market leading technology can be identified easily if it makes your work easier – just like the tapping valves of Viega. With 43 various outlets for three systems, they provide the highest flexibility for the job and are the ideal connection to Geopress K. The fittings are also made from high-strength polymer and are available for drinking water (9690TW). The material ensures enormous stability and superior durability – features that are of utmost importance for underground installations.
With the tapping valve, the spot drilling of the main supply line takes only a few minutes. It is placed around the pipe like a bracket and tightly connected with the pipe using the press tool. Due to the integrated miller for PE pipes, the drilling can be carried out directly without having to use an external drilling machine. To ensure the anti-twist protection of the tapping valve, a sleeve will be inserted into the drill hole.
