Viega 17823 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size ProPress fitting does the Viega 17823 sealing element fit?
The Viega 17823 is the 2 inch ProPress sealing element. It measures 2.469 inches across with a 0.161 inch cross section, so it seats in the press groove of a 2 inch ProPress fitting only. For any other line size you need the sealing element made for that size.
2) Why is the Viega 17823 seal black instead of the usual green or black EPDM?
Colour is how Viega codes the elastomer. The 17823 is an FKM element in dull black, which identifies it as the FKM compound rather than EPDM or HNBR. If the fitting you are servicing was supplied with an EPDM element, swapping in FKM changes the service the joint is rated for, so match the compound the system was specified with.
3) Can I replace a damaged O-ring in a 2 inch ProPress fitting rather than scrapping the fitting?
Yes, that is what the 17823 is for. It is a replacement sealing element for 2 inch ProPress, the FKM version in dull black. Each piece weighs 0.013 lbs, so it is practical to carry spares on the truck for pre-press inspection on larger lines where a nicked or missing element is easy to miss.
4) Is the Viega 17823 the right element for ProPress or for ProPress XL / MegaPress?
The 17823 is a ProPress sealing element, FKM, 2 inch. ProPress XL, MegaPress and other Viega press systems use their own sealing elements with different part numbers, so do not substitute this one into them.
5) What exactly comes with Viega part 17823 when I order one?
Part number 17823 is the sealing element by itself, a single 2 inch FKM ring in dull black. No fitting, press ring or jaw is included. Where it is made: Italy.
6) How do I tell the 2 inch FKM ProPress element apart from other sizes in the parts bin?
Go by colour and diameter. The FKM element is dull black, and the 2 inch size runs 2.469 inches outside with a 0.161 inch section thickness. Stamped on the order as Viega 17823.
