System press tools

Note
Viega does not check whether the Viega system press jaws and rings can be used to press other manufacturers' systems. In particular, no statement can be made on whether it is possible to create permanently leakproof connections in this way. Detailed information about applications, restrictions and national standards and directives can be found in the product information, either printed or on the Viega website.

Maintenance instructions
Press machines generate a specified pressure for the pressing.
To guarantee operational safety, a leakproof hydraulic system is required. Natural wear and tear on such heavily used components, however, is unavoidable.
To ensure the continuous operational safety and reliability of the system press machines, these have to be maintained regularly by authorized service partners.
For addresses see operating instructions, instructions for care of Viega system press tools or Viega website.
Usually, tools are sent for maintenance to the authorised service partners specified by Viega, or maintained during local promotions at service partners at the specialist wholesaler.
We strongly recommend having press jaws, press rings, press chains and (hinged) adapter jaws checked during press machine maintenance.
By this, moving parts are lubricated, pressing contours are reworked and the press jaws, rings, chains and (hinged) adapter jaws are checked for damage and dimensional accuracy.
Please fulfil your duty of care and follow these maintenance instructions!
The general principle "safety through maintenance" applies!
From 2024, the press jaws and hinged adapter jaws will have a service sticker with QR code.
This refers to the instructions for maintenance and care of the Viega system press jaws in the online catalogue.
