Intended use
INFO!
Coordinate the use of the model for areas of use and media other than those described with the Viega Service Center.
Areas of use
Use is possible in the following areas among others:
Drinking water installations
– with Raxofix PE‑Xc/AI/PE‑Xc pipes (dimensionally stable, with external oxygen seal coat)
– with Raxofix PE‑Xc pipes (flexible without external oxygen seal coat)
The general rules of engineering and the applicable regulations must be observed for planning, execution, operation and maintenance potable water installations, see Regulations from section: Fields of application .
Media
The model is also suitable for the following media, amongst others:
Drinking water without limitations acc. to the applicable directives, see Regulations from section: Media
maximum chloride concentration 250 mg/l pursuant to applicable regulations, see Regulations from section: Media
Product description
According to the applicable regulations, Easytop system fittings can be used for all types of potable water and are DVGW certified, see Regulations from section: Product description . Their plastic components comply with the KTW recommendation and the requirements pursuant to the applicable regulations.
Overview
INFO!
The Easytop system fittings comply with the test requirements specified in the applicable regulations, see Regulations from section: Overview . Sound protection Lap≤ 20 dB(A)

Press connection with SC-Contur
SC‑Contur
Viega press connections are equipped with the SC‑Contur. The SC‑Contur is a safety technology that is certified by the DVGW and ensures that the connection is guaranteed to be leaky in an unpressed state. In this way, unpressed connections are noticed immediately during a leakage test.
Viega guarantees that unpressed connections are visible during a leakage test:
with wet leakage test in the pressure range from 0.1 hPa–0.65 MPa (1.0 mbar–6.5 bar)
with dry leakage test in the pressure range from 22 hPa–0.3 MPa (22 mbar–3.0 bar)
Markings on components
The press connections are marked with a coloured dot. This identifies the SC‑Contur, where the test medium would escape in the case of an inadvertently unpressed connection.
The model is marked as follows:
flow direction indicator
noise class I pursuant to applicable regulations, see Regulations from section: Marking on components

DVGW writing
position indicator below the handwheel
green dot for potable water
Compatible components
The model is equipped with Raxofix press connections and compatible with the Raxofix system.

Information for use
Corrosion
Overground pipelines and fittings in rooms do not normally require external corrosion protection.
There are exceptions in the following cases:
Contact with aggressive building materials such as nitrite or materials containing ammonium
Contact with aggressive chemicals
in aggressive surroundings
If external corrosion protection is required, observe the pertinent guidelines, see Regulations from section: Corrosion .
INFO!
Easytop fittings made of gunmetal/silicon bronze are suitable for all types of potable water.
The chloride concentration in the medium must not exceed a maximum value of 250 mg/l.
This chloride is not a disinfectant, but in fact pertains to the content in sea and table salt (sodium chloride).
Optional accessories
The following optional accessories are available:
Drainage valve
Extension for drainage valve when using an insulating shell
Easytop media markings in the colours red and green for the identification of the corresponding area of use
Insulating shells
Insulating shells
EPS insulating shells are available for all sizes of valves. The two-piece shells are self-securing and mounted with tools and holding clamps: they connect seamlessly onto the flat surface of the pipe insulation. When installing a drainage valve or an extension with drainage valve, a predetermined breaking point is broken out of the insulating shell.
