Viega 17803 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How do I tell the FKM ProPress seal apart from the standard EPDM one?
Color is the tell. The 17803 FKM element is dull black, and that is how Viega differentiates the FKM sealing element from the standard green EPDM element. If you pull a green seal out of a fitting, it is not FKM and this is not a like-for-like swap.
2) Is this a complete fitting or just the O-ring?
Just the sealing element. The 17803 is the elastomer seal that sits in the bead of a 1-1/4 inch ProPress fitting, weighing in at 0.001 lbs. You still need the press fitting itself, and a press tool with the matching 1-1/4 inch jaw to make the joint.
3) Is the FKM sealing element the right choice for my system, or should I stay with EPDM?
FKM is the fluoroelastomer option Viega supplies for ProPress fittings where the standard EPDM element is not suited to the media or service conditions, and the 1-1/4 inch version is part number 17803. EPDM remains the default element in most potable water and hydronic work. Confirm the media in your system against Viega's elastomer selection guidance before swapping to FKM, because the element, not the fitting, determines what the joint can handle.
4) Can I use the Viega 17803 to replace a seal in a fitting that has already been pressed?
No. A pressed ProPress joint is permanent, and the element cannot be replaced in it. The 17803 is for fitting or re-fitting an unpressed 1-1/4 inch ProPress fitting, typically to convert it to FKM or to replace an element that was damaged or lost during handling.
5) What does the "d" version designation on the Viega 17803 seal mean for ordering?
The 17803 element is the d version connection type. If a submittal or a parts list calls out a different ProPress element version for your fitting series, match that designation rather than assuming the d element drops in.
