What happens here

The presenter, Daniel with Viega, introduces the Viega PureFlow PEX line, clarifying that the specialized "PureFlow jaws" are distinct from traditional ProPress jaws used for copper. He showcases the versatility of a single press tool (specifically a Ridgid Compact press tool is shown), which can be adapted with different jaws to perform ProPress for copper, MegaPress for steel, and PureFlow for PEX. This initial step is to familiarize yourself with the unique components required for Viega PureFlow PEX installations.

Goal: Understand the specialized tools and components for Viega PureFlow PEX.

Tools and materials

  • Press Tool Ridgid — The main power tool body that accepts interchangeable jaws for pressing various plumbing connections
  • Viega PureFlow Fitting Viega — The specific connector used to join sections of Viega PureFlow PEX pipe or adapt to other plumbing components
  • Viega PureFlow Jaws Viega
  • Viega PureFlow PEX Pipe Viega — The PEX tubing that will be connected using the Viega PureFlow system

What they say

Hide

These pureflow jaws, they are different than a traditional propress jaw. How's it going? I'm Daniel with Viega and this is our pureflow Pex line. Same trusty tool that does your propress for copper and your megapress for steel can also do pureflow Pex. So you're going to take this Viega manufactured Pex, put it in the fitting. You can see by the witness marks it's fully inserted. Also, if you forget to press this last one, it'll leak and that's not a problem
