Viega 77028 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Viega 77028 a press-by-press elbow or does one end take sweat copper?
Both ends are press. The connection type is P1 x P2, meaning press on each side, so you need a press tool with the correct 1 inch copper jaw at both joints. If you need to tie into an existing soldered run, you press onto a stub of copper tube rather than into a solder cup.
2) How much room do I need to fit a 1 inch ProPress 45 degree elbow in a tight chase?
The 77028 elbow measures 2.161 inches by 1.5 inches by 2.795 inches and weighs 0.21 lbs. Those are the fitting dimensions only, so allow extra clearance beyond that for the press tool jaw to swing around the collar at each end.
3) What does Smart Connect do on this Viega ProPress elbow?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that leaves a deliberate gap at the sealing element so an unpressed joint leaks a small amount under test pressure. On a 1 inch 45 degree elbow buried in a long riser or wall cavity, that is how you find the one connection the crew missed during pressure testing instead of after closing the wall.
4) Do I need any solder, flux or sealant with the Viega 77028?
No. The elbow presses on with a sealing element already built into each cup, so there is no solder, flux, torch or thread sealant. What you do need is a press tool with 1 inch copper jaws, a deburred and square tube cut, and the insertion depth marked on the tube before pressing.
5) Is the Viega ProPress 77028 elbow copper or bronze, and does that matter for a copper potable water system?
It is copper, listed as copper material with copper press ends, so it is the same base metal as the tube it joins on a copper domestic water line. No dissimilar metal transition is introduced at the fitting itself.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for the 1 inch ProPress 45 degree copper elbow, and where is it made?
Order it as Viega part number 77028. It is made in Germany. That is the number to quote for the 1 inch by 1 inch press x press copper 45.
