Viega 77053 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does P x FTG mean on the Viega 77053 ProPress 45 degree elbow?
P x FTG is the street configuration. One end is a press socket (P) that accepts 3/4 inch copper tube, and the other end is a fitting-end (FTG) sized like tube so it slips directly into the press socket of another 3/4 inch ProPress fitting or valve. That saves you a stub of copper between two fittings on a tight turn.
2) Will the Viega 77053 press onto 3/4 inch copper tubing?
Yes. The 77053 is a 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch fitting, so the press end goes over 3/4 inch nominal copper tube and the street end plugs into a 3/4 inch press socket. It is a copper fitting, so it is for copper tube systems, not PEX or steel.
3) How much room do I need to fit a 3/4 inch ProPress 45 degree street elbow in a tight chase?
The 77053 is a compact fitting: 1.843 inches high, 1.248 inches long, 2.484 inches wide, and it weighs 0.14 lbs. Plan clearance around those numbers for the press tool jaw as well, since the jaw needs to close fully around the press socket.
4) When should I use a 45 degree street elbow instead of a regular 45 elbow?
Use the street version when the turn lands right at another fitting. A standard 45 has two press sockets and needs a short piece of tube between it and the next fitting; the 77053 has a fitting end that inserts straight into the next socket. Two press sockets means you need the tube stub, so if your 45 falls mid-run, order the standard P x P elbow instead.
5) Does Smart Connect on the Viega 77053 mean I still have to press every joint?
Yes. Smart Connect is a leak-detection feature: an unpressed joint will weep during pressure test so you can find it before the wall closes. It is not a substitute for pressing. Every press socket on the elbow still has to be pressed with the correct 3/4 inch jaw.
6) Is the Viega 77053 a copper fitting or bronze, and where is it made?
It is a copper ProPress fitting, made in Germany. Copper press fittings are for copper tube systems; on a job where the spec calls for bronze or stainless press, this is not the right family.
