Viega 49540 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Viega 49540 PureFlow tee a true 3/4 inch on all three ports?
Yes, the 49540 is an equal tee: 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch, with all three ends being PureFlow press connections (P1 x P2 x P3). No reducing branch, so a 3/4 inch main carries straight through and the branch takes 3/4 inch PEX as well.
2) Is the Viega 49540 tee metal or plastic?
Polymer, not brass. The 49540 PureFlow tee body is a polymer fitting, which is what plumbers and spec writers pick when they want a non-metallic fitting in the wall (no dezincification concerns with aggressive water). If your spec calls for a bronze or brass press tee, this is not that fitting.
3) Do I need a special tool to install the Viega 49540 PureFlow tee, or can I crimp it?
It is a press fitting, not a crimp-ring fitting. Each of the three ports is a PureFlow press connection with Smart Connect technology, so it is made up with a Viega press tool and the matching PEX press jaws or rings, not with a crimp ring and crimp tool. Smart Connect is the feature that leaves an unpressed connection visibly leaking under test pressure so you catch a missed joint before closing the wall.
4) Will a 3/4 inch Viega polymer press tee fit inside a 2x4 stud bay or tight joist space?
It should. The 49540 measures 2.598 inches long, 1.843 inches wide and 1.087 inches high, so the full body clears easily inside a nominal 2x4 cavity. Leave room beyond that for the press tool jaw to seat squarely around each of the three sleeves.
5) Can I use the Viega 49540 press tee on copper or CPVC?
No. PureFlow press fittings are PEX fittings, and the 49540 takes 3/4 inch PEX tubing on all three ports. For a transition to copper or CPVC you need a transition fitting or an adapter, not this tee.
6) Are Viega PureFlow polymer tees made in the USA for government or institutional specs?
Yes. The 49540 PureFlow polymer press tee is made in the USA, which is what institutional and government procurement buyers need when a domestic-origin clause is on the purchase order.
7) What is the Viega part number I should order for a 3/4 inch PureFlow press tee?
Viega 49540. That is the manufacturer part number for the 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 inch PureFlow press tee in polymer with Smart Connect. Quote that number directly and you will not get sent a reducing tee or a brass-body equivalent.
8) How much does a 3/4 inch Viega polymer press tee weigh, and does that matter for long horizontal runs?
Each 49540 tee weighs 0.068 lbs. Practically nothing, which is part of the point of a polymer body: a branch in a long horizontal PEX run adds almost no load at the fitting, so you are supporting the tubing, not the fitting.
