Viega 49280 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size PEX does the Viega 49280 PureFlow press elbow take?
The Viega 49280 is a 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch 90 degree elbow, so both ends press onto 1-1/2 inch PEX tubing. It is a same-size turn, not a reducing fitting, so if your run steps down you need a separate reducer or a reducing elbow.
2) What connection type is on the Viega 49280 and does it need a press tool?
Both ends are PureFlow press connections, listed as P1 x P2. You press them with a Viega PureFlow press tool and the matching 1-1/2 inch jaw or ring set; this is not a crimp-ring or clamp-ring fitting and it is not compression. The tool and jaws are bought separately.
3) Is the Viega 49280 elbow metal or plastic?
It is a polymer body, not brass or bronze. Plumbers spec the polymer PureFlow fittings on potable water where they want to avoid metallic fittings in aggressive water, and the fitting weighs 0.22 lbs, which keeps long overhead PEX runs from carrying much dead load at the turns.
4) What does Smart Connect technology do on the Viega 49280 elbow?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: during pressure test, a connection that was missed leaks visibly so the installer finds it before the wall closes up. It does not change how the 90 degree elbow is pressed, it just makes a skipped press obvious on a 1-1/2 inch run where a hidden joint would otherwise be a callback.
5) How much space do I need to fit a 1-1/2 inch PureFlow press elbow in a joist bay or chase?
Plan around a 3.114 inch length and 3.114 inch width with a 1.85 inch height on the 49280 elbow, plus clearance for the press jaw to close around each end. Tight bays are usually limited by jaw swing rather than the fitting itself, so measure from the face of the turn back along both legs.
6) Is the Viega 49280 elbow made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the 49280 PureFlow press elbow is Made In USA. That is the detail institutional and government procurement usually needs documented on the submittal for a domestic-preference specification.
