System DescriptionProPress®, ProPress XL™ and ProPress XLC are safe, reliable, and economical copper pipe installation systems that use modern cold press connection technology for a wide assortment of more than 500 fittings in dimensions ranging from 1/2” to 4”.

ApplicationsTubing: K, L, and M hard copper tubing from 1/2” to 4” and soft copper tubing in1/2” to 1-1/4” diameters. All tubing must comply with the ASTM B88 standard. ProPress fittings are approved for installations in both above and below ground applications. Per code, local inspector approval must be obtained prior to installation below ground.

Operating Parameters:Operating Pressure 200 PSI Max.Test Pressure 600 PSI Max. Low Pressure Steam 15 PSI Max. Vacuum 29.2” Mercury Max. @ 68°FOperating Temperature 0°F - 250°F

Approved Applications:• Potable water• Hydronic heating (w/ Glycol)• Chilled water• Compressed Air (200 PSI Max.)• Non Medical Gases (140 PSI Max.)• Fire Sprinkler (175 PSI Max.)• Low Pressure Steam (15 PSI Max.)• Vacuum (29.2” Mercury Max. @ 68°F)

System Benefits• Fast and Easy to Use• Flameless• Permanent Connections• Wide Capacity from 1/2” to 4”• Large Selection of Fittings• Consistent Professional Appearance• Less Equipment Required• Environmentally Friendly Connection System• Versatility of Fittings and Tools for Variety of Applications

FittingsViega ProPress fittings are offered in 500+configurations including: Elbows, Couplings, Reducers, Tees, Reducing Tees, Threaded Adapters, Unions, Caps, and Flanges. All Threaded 1/2”- 2“ fittings are bronze.

Smart Connect™ (SC Feature)In ProPress 1/2”- 4” dimensions, the Smart Connect Feature assures leakage of liquids and/or gases from inside the system past the sealing element of an unpressed connection. The function of this feature is to provide the installer quick and easy identification of connec-tions which have not been pressed prior to putting the system into operation.

ToolsRIDGID offers three pressing tools for connecting ProPress fittings. • CT-400 Corded Tool (1/2” to 4”)• 320-E Battery powered Tool (1/2” to 4”)• 100-B Battery powered Tool (1/2” to 1”)• 1/2” to 4” fittings are pressed in 4-7 sec.

HistoryProPress has been used in Europe since the late 1980s and in the U.S. since the late 1990s for a variety of applica-tions. Backed by two plumbing leaders with over 175 years of combined excellence.

WarrantyViega ProPress products carry a 50-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The RIDGID Lifetime Warranty applies to tools, jaws and crimp rings from Ridge Tool Company.

Read and understand all instructions for installing ProPress fittings. Failure to follow allinstructions may result in extensive property damage, serious injury or death.

1. Cut copper tubing at right angles (using displacement type cutter or fine-toothed steel saw).2. Debur tubing on inside and outside to prevent cutting fitting seal.3. Check seal for correct fit. Do not use oils or lubricants. Use only ProPress Shiny Black EPDM or Dull Black FKM SealingElements.

4. While turning slightly, slide press fitting onto tubing to the fitting stop. Note: End of tubing must contact stop5. Mark insertion depth.6. Insert the appropriate jaw into the pressing tool and push in holding pin until it locks into place.7. Open the jaw and place at right angles on the fitting. Visually check insertion depth using mark on tubing.8. Start pressing process and hold the trigger until the jaw has engaged the fitting.9. After pressing, the jaw can be opened again.10. For applications requiring ProPress with FKM sealing elements, remove the factory installed EPDM sealing element and

replace with FKM sealing element.

Pressure Testing: Pressure testing is to be carried out in accordance with local codes. TheSmart Connect FeatureTM provides quick and easy identification of unpressed connectionsduring the pressure testing process. Unpressed connections are located by pressurizing thesystem with a maximum pressure range of 1/2-85 psi for gases and 15-85 psi for liquids. TheSC Feature is a special indentation in 1/2” to 2” dimensions located on the inside surface ofthe fitting near the sealing element. This indentation assures leakage of liquids and/or gasesfrom inside the system past the sealing element of an unpressed connection. The indentationis removed during the pressing process creating a leak-free, permanent connection.

XLw/Smart Connect™ Feature

Read, understand and follow all instructions for installing ProPress XL fittings. Failure tofollow all instructions may result in extensive property damage, serious injury or death.

1. Cut copper tubing at right angles using displacement type cutter or fine-toothed steel saw.2. Keep end of tubing a minimum of 4” away from the contact area of the vise to prevent possible damage to the tubing in thepress area.

3. Remove burr from inside and outside of tubing to prevent cutting sealing element.4. Mark proper insertion depth as indicated by the ProPress XL insertion depth chart. Improper insertion depth may result in animproper seal.

5. Check seal and grip ring for correct fit.6. While turning slightly, slide press fitting onto tubing to the marked depth. Do not use oils or lubricants.7. ProPress XL fitting connections must be performed with ProPress XL Rings and Actuator. Use of other ring set or actuator willresult in an improper connection. See Ridgid Operator’s Manual for proper tool instructions.

8. Open XL Ring and place at right angle on the fitting. XL Ring must be engaged on the fitting bead. Check insertion depth.9. With Actuator inserted into the tool, open the Actuator as shown.10. Place Actuator onto XL Ring and start pressing process. Hold the trigger until the Actuator has engaged the XL Ring. Keep

extremities and foreign objects away from XL Ring and Actuator during pressing operation to prevent injury or incompletepress.

11. Release Actuator from XL Ring and then remove the XL Ring from the fitting on completion of press. Remove elastic controlring from fitting indicating press has been performed.

12. For applications requiring ProPress XL with FKM sealing elements, remove the factory installed EPDM sealing element andreplace with FKM sealing element.

Pressure Testing: Pressure testing is to be carried out in accordance with local codes. ProPress XL alsoincludes the Smart Connect Feature providing quick and easy identification of unpressed connections duringthe pressure testing process. Unpressed connections are located by pressurizing the system with air or water.When testing with air the pressure range is 1/2 PSI to 85 PSI Maximum. When testing with water the pressurerange is 15 PSI to 85 PSI Maximum. The SC Feature is an integral part of the design of the fitting assuringleakage of liquids and/or gases from inside the system past the sealing element of an unpressed connection.The SC Feature is removed during the pressing process creating a leak-proof, permanent connection.

Read, understand and follow all instructions for installing ProPress XL-C fittings. Failure tofollow all instructions may result in extensive property damage, serious injury or death.

1. Cut copper tubing at right angles using displacement type cutter or fine-toothed steel saw.2. Keep end of tubing a minimum of 4” away from the contact area of the vise to prevent possible damage to the tubing in thepress area.

3. Remove burr from inside and outside of tubing to prevent cutting sealing element.4. Mark proper insertion depth as indicated by the ProPress XL-C insertion depth chart. Improper insertion depth may result in animproper seal.

5. Check seal and grip ring for correct fit.6. Illustration demonstrates proper fit of grip ring, separation ring and sealing element. Use only ProPress Shiny Black EPDMsealing elements.

7. While turning slightly, slide press fitting onto tubing to the marked depth. Do not use oils or lubricants.8. ProPress XL-C fitting connections must be performed with ProPress XL-C Rings and V2 ACTUATOR. Use of ProPress XL Ringsand/or Actuator (for Bronze fittings) will result in an improper connection. See Ridgid Operator’s Manual for proper toolinstructions.

9. Open XL-C Ring and place at right angles on the fitting. XL-C Ring must be engaged on the fitting bead. Check insertion depth.10. With V2 ACTUATOR inserted into the tool, open the V2 ACTUATOR as shown and connect V2 ACTUATOR to the XL-C Ring.11. Place V2 ACTUATOR onto XL-C Ring and start pressing process. Hold the trigger until the Actuator has engaged the XL-C

Ring. Keep extremities and foreign objects away from XL-C Ring and V2 ACTUATOR during pressing operation to preventinjury or incomplete press.

12. Release V2 ACTUATOR from XL-C Ring and then remove the XL-C Ring from the fitting on completion of press. Remove elasticcontrol ring from fitting indicating press has been performed.
