Viega 49535 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size runs and branch does the Viega 49535 PureFlow press tee take?
The Viega 49535 is a reducing tee sized 1 inch x 1/2 inch x 1 inch, so the run is 1 inch straight through with a 1/2 inch branch takeoff. That is the fitting you want where a 1 inch PEX main needs to feed a single 1/2 inch fixture drop without reducing the main.
2) Is the Viega 49535 tee a brass fitting or plastic?
Polymer, not brass. The 49535 PureFlow press tee is made of polymer throughout, which is what plumbers normally reach for on domestic water lines where dezincification or corrosion from aggressive water is a concern. If your spec or local code calls out a metallic fitting, this is not the one.
3) Does the Viega PureFlow press tee need a crimp ring or a special tool?
It is a press fitting with Viega's Smart Connect feature, so it is made up with a Viega PureFlow press tool and press jaws sized for the connection, not with a copper crimp ring and crimp tool. Smart Connect is the deliberate leak path that lets you spot an unpressed joint during pressure test before the wall closes up. Jaws must match each port: 1 inch for the two run ends and 1/2 inch for the branch.
4) What do the P1 x P2 x P3 connections on the Viega 49535 mean?
All three ports are PEX press connections, listed as P1 x P2 x P3. There is no threaded or sweat end on this tee, so every leg lands on PEX tubing. For a transition to threaded pipe or a valve you need a separate adapter fitting.
5) How much room do I need in the wall or joist bay for the Viega 49535 tee?
Body dimensions are 2.921 inches long, 2.209 inches wide and 1.299 inches high, so it clears a standard 2x4 stud bay easily, but allow extra beyond those numbers for the press jaw to close around each port. The branch jaw is the one that usually dictates how tight you can mount to framing.
6) Is the Viega 49535 made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin is the USA. For public or institutional work with domestic sourcing language in the spec, that is the data point procurement will ask for on the submittal.
7) Should I use a 1 x 1/2 x 1 reducing tee or a full 1 inch tee with a reducer?
Use the reducing tee. The 49535 takes the 1/2 inch branch directly, so you make one press at the branch instead of a 1 inch press plus a bushing or reducing coupling, which means one less joint to leak and less length used up in the bay. Go to a full 1 inch tee only when you actually need 1 inch on the branch, for example feeding a second manifold or a tub filler group.
