VIEGA Protective Sleeve 16 mm, Plastic, Blue, Art. 102074

Viega blue protective nozzle, model 2036 (Art. 102074), is a plastic mounting part that the maker’s table lists under size d 16, that is 16 mm. In Viega’s German-language catalogue the same part appears under the name Schutztülle.

Model 2036 is listed with the accessories of two Viega systems: the UK catalogue assigns it to the mounting accessories of Viega Smartpress, and the German catalogue to those of Sanfix Fosta. That is why both systems appear in the compatibility field of the specification, although Viega publishes no fitting instructions or description of its purpose.

The part is made of plastic; the maker names no polymer, length, wall thickness, pressure or medium, so none of these appear in the specification. Further items are in the section for pipe supports and mounting parts, where you can pick other mounting components to go with the blue 16 mm nozzle.

When ordering, note that Viega also makes a red version in the same 16 mm size (Art. 102302), and that model 2036 also comes in a larger size. The maker does not assign a purpose to the colours: if you tell lines apart by colour on site, use the blue and red nozzles according to that scheme.
