Viega 77022 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Viega 77022 press elbow need solder or a torch?
No flame, no solder. The 77022 is a press-connect copper elbow: tube goes into both sockets and a press tool with the matching 3/4 inch jaw makes the joint. That makes it the fitting of choice in occupied buildings and anywhere a hot work permit is a problem.
2) Is the Viega 77022 elbow copper or bronze?
Copper. The 77022 is a wrought copper press elbow, so it is dimensionally and metallurgically matched to 3/4 inch copper tube with no dissimilar metal joint at the fitting.
3) What does Smart Connect mean on a Viega ProPress fitting?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that leaks on purpose when a fitting has not been pressed. During pressure test, an unpressed 77022 elbow will weep at the connection so the installer can find it before the wall closes. It does not change how the joint is made, only how a missed press shows up.
4) How much room do I need to make a 90 degree turn with the Viega 77022?
The fitting itself measures 2.291 x 1.248 x 2.291 inches, so plan around roughly two and a quarter inches on each leg for the elbow body. On top of that you need clearance for the press jaw to swing around the tube at each socket, which is usually the tighter constraint in a joist bay or a stud cavity.
5) Is the Viega 77022 ProPress elbow made in the USA?
Yes, the 77022 is made in the USA, which is what matters on public and federally funded jobs carrying domestic sourcing language.
6) Can I use the 3/4 inch Viega ProPress elbow where a mechanical joint is not allowed behind a wall?
That depends on your local authority, not on the fitting. What the 77022 gives you is a pressed copper joint on 3/4 inch tube with Smart Connect, so an unpressed connection shows itself during pressure test rather than after the drywall goes up. If your inspector requires access panels at mechanical joints, that requirement applies here the same as any press fitting.
