VIEGA Viega 1118 steel pipe fitting, diameter 15 cm, pack of 10

VIEGA Viega 1118 steel pipe fitting, diameter 15 cm, pack of 10 is a galvanised, non-alloyed steel component designed for plumbing and piping assemblies that require a robust element with a 15 cm nominal diameter. Supplied in packs of ten, the Model 1118 part features press connections and EPDM sealing elements and is manufactured to integrate with systems that accept press-fit steel fittings. The component includes Viega’s safety contour (with SC‑Contur) to support leak detection during installation and to comply with recognised installation practices for press fittings.

Advantages

The galvanised non-alloyed steel construction provides mechanical strength and corrosion resistance appropriate for many potable and non-potable applications where suitable coatings and design conditions are applied. Press connections allow fast, reliable joining without the need for welding, and EPDM sealing elements ensure a durable elastomeric seal that performs across a range of temperatures typical for building services. The SC‑Contur feature offers an additional check for unnoticed open connections during pressure testing.

Suitable for

• Installation and repair of plumbing pipe networks compatible with 15 cm diameter press fittings
• Replacement of existing steel press-fit components in buildings and mechanical rooms
• Prefabricated piping assemblies where batch supply of identical fittings is required

Key specifications

• Material: non-alloyed steel, galvanised
• Nominal diameter: 15 cm
• Connection method: press connections
• Sealing: EPDM sealing elements
• Design feature: with SC‑Contur for leak detection during testing
• Packaging: pack of 10 identical fittings

How to use

Select the Viega 1118 fitting matching the 15 cm pipe profile and ensure pipes and fitting ends are clean, free of damage and correctly prepared for press installation. Insert the fitting onto the prepared pipe end, position the press tool and jaw correctly over the fitting’s press area, and perform the press operation according to the press tool and system manufacturer instructions. After pressing, conduct the appropriate pressure test to verify joint integrity; the SC‑Contur feature will help identify any unintentionally open connections during testing.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible Viega press tools and certified jaws sized for 15 cm fittings, follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions for press processes, and perform pressure testing in accordance with applicable standards and project specifications. Store fittings in a dry environment and avoid mechanical damage before installation. For systems carrying potable water, verify that the material and sealing elements meet local regulations.
