Why I Switched to PEX Press #plumbing #trades #viega

What happens here

Take a section of Viega manufactured PEX pipe and securely insert it into a Viega PureFlow fitting. It is critical to ensure that the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. This proper depth can be visually verified by observing the "witness marks" on the fitting; the pipe should extend past or up to these marks. The presenter explains that if this connection were accidentally left unpressed, it would leak, but highlights that such an oversight can be easily corrected by simply pressing the fitting later, even if the connection is wet or dry.

Goal: Achieve full insertion of the PEX pipe into the fitting.

Tools and materials

  • Viega PureFlow Fitting Viega — The fitting that receives the PEX pipe, featuring witness marks for proper insertion depth

What they say

Hide

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 cuz you can just fix it right up wet or dry. Put the ring in the hub, press away.
