Fitting SC 18 copper / shiny, model 2415 Profipress 292744

Profipress Compression Sleeve – Reliable Connection for Copper Pipes

The Profipress compression sleeve, made of copper, is a key component of the Viega press-fit connection system. Designed for joining copper pipes with an outer diameter of 18 mm, it ensures durable and leak-proof connections in water and heating systems. The design featuring a retaining collar further enhances connection safety and stability.

Construction and Practical Application

The Profipress sleeve is engineered for easy and rapid installation. The press-fit system eliminates the need for welding, significantly reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of errors. The EPDM seal guarantees reliable performance even under demanding conditions—this material is resistant to temperatures up to 110°C. The sleeve is compatible with copper pipes compliant with standards PN-EN 1057 and DVGW GW 392.

Applications of the Profipress sleeve include a wide range of installations:

• Domestic hot and cold water systems (in accordance with DIN 1988)—both surface-mounted and concealed.
• Heating systems and radiator connections.
• Rainwater drainage systems.
• Compressed air and inert gas installations.
• Ice water systems, as well as industrial and process applications.

Key Features and Benefits

• Durability and Reliability: Manufactured from high-quality copper, ensuring long-term service life without risk of corrosion.
• Fast Installation: The press-fit system dramatically reduces installation time compared to traditional joining methods.
• Leak-Proof: The EPDM seal ensures a secure connection, eliminating leaks and medium losses.
• Versatility: Broad range of applications—from water systems to industrial process technologies.
• Safety: The retaining collar design provides additional connection stability and resistance to high operating pressures (up to 16 bar).
• Standards Compliance: Meets DVGW W 534 requirements, confirming high product quality.
