Viega 20658 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size copper pipe does the Viega ProPress 20658 45-degree elbow fit?
The Viega 20658 is a 3 inch by 3 inch 45-degree elbow, so both ends press onto 3 inch copper tube. It is a press-by-press fitting (P1 x P2), meaning there is no threaded or soldered end anywhere on it, both sockets get crimped with a press tool and the correct 3 inch jaw or ring.
2) Is the Viega 20658 elbow copper or bronze, and can I run it on potable water lines?
It's a copper-bodied ProPress fitting, matching the copper tube it presses onto, so you are not introducing a dissimilar metal at the joint. Copper ProPress fittings in this size are the standard choice for potable water distribution as well as hydronic and mechanical piping. The 45-degree angle is what you reach for when a 90 would overshoot the run, typically to offset around a beam or step a riser over.
3) What does Smart Connect on the Viega 20658 actually do for me on an inspection?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-joint feature: an unpressed fitting leaks visibly during pressure test, so a joint you missed shows itself before the walls close instead of after. On a 3 inch line that is the difference between finding one skipped press on the test gauge and chasing water through finished ceiling. The 20658 carries this feature as a 45-degree copper elbow.
4) Is the Viega 20658 ProPress elbow made in the USA for a Buy American spec job?
Yes, the 20658 is listed as Made in USA. For government, education or healthcare work with domestic-sourcing language on the drawing, that country of origin is what the submittal needs to show alongside the manufacturer part number 20658.
5) Do I need to order the sealing element separately for the Viega 20658?
No separate seal to buy. ProPress copper fittings come with the sealing element already installed in each socket, so the 20658 arrives ready to press. What you do need on the job is a press tool with 3 inch capacity plus the matching 3 inch ring and actuator, since large-diameter ProPress uses a ring rather than a standard jaw.
