Viega 78062 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size copper tubing does the Viega ProPress 78062 coupling join?
The Viega 78062 is a 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch press coupling, so it joins two runs of 1-1/4 inch copper tube. Both ends are press connections (P1 x P2), same size on each side, so it is a straight inline joint rather than a reducer.
2) What does "with stop" mean on a ProPress coupling, and when would I want one without?
With stop means there is a tube stop formed in the middle of the fitting, so each pipe end bottoms out at a fixed insertion depth. That makes it the standard choice for new joints where you can slide both tubes in from either side. On a repair, where the pipe is already fixed in place and cannot be sprung apart, you want a coupling without stop instead, because it slides fully onto one pipe and then back over the joint. The 78062 is the with stop version.
3) How do I know a ProPress joint actually got pressed?
Viega's Smart Connect feature leaves unpressed fittings deliberately leaky during pressure testing, so water or air escapes past the seal at any connection the tool missed. Press it and the leak stops. On a run with a lot of 1-1/4 inch couplings like the 78062, that is how you find the one you skipped before the wall closes up.
4) How much room do I need around a 1-1/4 inch ProPress coupling to get the jaw on it?
The 78062 coupling itself measures 1.76 x 1.76 x 2.205 inches, so plan clearance around the fitting for the press jaw on top of that. It is light, 0.216 lbs, which matters less on a single joint than on a long horizontal run where you are counting hanger loads.
5) Do I need to solder the Viega 78062, or can I press it cold?
It presses cold. The 78062 is a press-connect copper coupling, no torch, flux or solder, which is why it gets used on occupied buildings and tenant spaces where hot work permits are a problem. You still need clean, round, deburred tube and a press tool with the correct 1-1/4 inch jaw.
6) Is the Viega 78062 coupling made of copper or bronze?
Copper. The 78062 coupling body is copper, which is what you want on a copper tube system since it keeps the joint in a single metal and avoids mixing materials mid-run.
7) Where is the Viega 78062 ProPress coupling manufactured?
Germany. For submittal packages that ask for country of origin on plumbing fittings, the 78062 lists as made in Germany.
