Viega 77068 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Viega 77068 street elbow press onto 1-1/2 inch type L copper tube?
The press end of the 77068 takes nominal 1-1/2 inch copper tube, and the fitting end is built to the same 1-1/2 inch size so it enters a standard copper socket. The fitting itself is copper, so it is a straight copper-to-copper joint on a copper water line.
2) Should I use a street 45 or a regular 45 elbow on a copper offset?
Use the street version, like the 77068, when you want to land the elbow directly into another fitting or a press socket without cutting a nipple of tube between them. Use a standard 45 with two press sockets when both sides of the turn are runs of tube. On a two-elbow offset, one street and one standard is the usual pairing and saves a joint.
3) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 77068 and why does it matter on a big job?
Smart Connect is the feature that lets an unpressed joint leak during pressure testing so you find it before the walls close. On a run with a lot of 1-1/2 inch offsets, that is how you catch the one fitting a helper walked past. It only helps if you actually pressure test the system before covering it.
4) What are the physical dimensions and weight of the Viega 77068 45 degree elbow?
The 77068 measures 2.913 x 2.122 x 4.091 inches and weighs 0.538 lbs. That matters in tight chases and joist bays, since the press socket is longer than a comparable solder fitting and you need clearance around the body for the ring and actuator to close.
5) Is the Viega 77068 elbow suitable for a commercial potable water riser?
It is a copper press fitting for 1-1/2 inch copper tube, which is a common riser and branch size in multi-family and commercial domestic water. Being a press joint, it goes in with no flame, so it works in occupied buildings and finished spaces where a hot work permit would otherwise be needed.
