Viega 17768 Propress Sealing Element 1/2 Inches Fkm Black for Cts Fittings

Product Description

The Viega 17768 is a ProPress sealing element designed for use with Viega ProPress CTS fittings in 1/2 inch pipe connections. This replacement sealing element is made from FKM, a high-performance fluoroelastomer material known for its resistance to heat, chemicals, and pressure. FKM seals are widely used in demanding plumbing and HVAC applications where standard EPDM seals may not hold up. The black color identifies this as an FKM-grade element, making it easy for technicians to distinguish it from other seal types on the job site. Viega ProPress is the original press pipe joining system, trusted by plumbers and pipefitters across commercial and residential construction. The press connection method eliminates the need for open flame soldering, reducing fire risk and speeding up installation. A properly seated sealing element is critical to achieving a leak-free pressed connection. This element sits inside the fitting and creates a watertight seal when the fitting is pressed with a compatible press tool and jaw set. Replacing a worn or damaged sealing element restores the integrity of the fitting without requiring full fitting replacement in some service scenarios. The 17768 sealing element is compatible with Viega ProPress CTS fittings, which are designed for copper tubing size pipe commonly found in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Plumbing contractors, mechanical contractors, and service technicians working with Viega ProPress systems should keep replacement sealing elements on hand to avoid delays during inspections or repairs. This part is an import product. FKM sealing elements are suitable for applications involving higher temperatures or exposure to oils and fuels where EPDM is not recommended.

• FKM fluoroelastomer construction for superior heat and chemical resistance
• Designed for 1/2 inch Viega ProPress CTS fittings
• Black color coding for quick identification of FKM seal type on the job site
