Viega PEX Press fittings are now made with the sleeves already inside the fitting. They no longer sell or produce the sleeves separately.
Have to strip the aluminum for sure, otherwise it will leak! Sent from my iPhone
You must use the aluminum sheathing tool as the sleeve won't fit. Sent from my iPhone
You have to strip off the aluminum sheathing. I use the Fostapex Prep Tool and it works great.
The Viega PexPress system was designed for use with Viega components. The system was only tested together with Viega products and not other manufacturers. Looking at NIBCO sleeves they do share a resemblance, however the NIBCO fittings look different then the Viega fittings for PexPress stainless sleeves. And by combining manufacturers you would not bare a warranty.
This fitting system will only work with standard PEX and FostaPEX. It will not work with standard PEX-AL-PEX.
No, you can use any standard PEX tubing.
No. Just the special press sleeve tool.
These rings will not work with the ProPress tools because the tools are intended to make a copper connection where these rings are intended for a PEX connection. The rings required to work with the ProPress tools come on the actual ProPress fittings.
