Warning!
Keep extremities and foreign objects away
from press tool during pressing operation
to prevent injury or incomplete press.

Place the V2 or Z2 actuator onto the Metric XL
press ring and start the pressing process. Hold the
88.9

trigger until the actuator has engaged the Metric
XL press ring. Keep extremities and foreign objects

away from ring and actuator during pressing
operation to prevent injury or incomplete press.

Once the press has completed, release the
actuator from the Metric XL press ring and then
remove the ring from the fitting. Remove the tag
from fitting, indicating press has been performed.
When pressure testing a Viega Seapress
fittings system, a step pressure test is
recommended to check for unpressed
fittings. This can be done by filling the system
with air or water to 85 psi. After a successful step
test the system can be brought up to 200 psi for
Pressure test inspection per codes governing the
installation.
