Viega 78092 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does FTG x P mean on the Viega 78092 ProPress reducer?
FTG x P is the end configuration: the 1-1/4 inch end is a fitting (FTG) end sized like copper tube so it inserts INTO a 1-1/4 inch ProPress cup or copper fitting, and the 3/4 inch end is a press (P) socket that receives 3/4 inch copper tube. So it is not a female-by-female coupling. If you need both ends to receive tube, you want a P x P reducing coupling instead.
2) Will the Viega 78092 press onto copper tube, or is it for PEX?
Copper only. The 78092 is a copper-bodied ProPress reducer for copper tube systems, 1-1/4 inch FTG to 3/4 inch press. PEX runs use Viega's PureFlow fittings, not ProPress copper.
3) Do I need a different press jaw for each end of a 1-1/4 x 3/4 ProPress reducer?
Yes, two jaw sizes. The 3/4 inch press socket on the 78092 takes a 3/4 inch jaw, and the 1-1/4 inch FTG end gets pressed inside whatever 1-1/4 inch press fitting it enters, so that joint needs a 1-1/4 inch jaw. Plan for both on the cart before you cut the line.
4) What is Smart Connect on this Viega reducer and why does it matter on a punch list?
Smart Connect is the feature in the ProPress sealing element that lets an unpressed joint leak a small amount when the system is pressure tested. On a big copper run that is how you find the fitting the crew missed instead of chasing a drip after the ceiling closes.
5) Can I use a ProPress reducer like the 78092 instead of soldering a reducing coupling?
That is exactly what it is for. The 78092 makes a cold, flame-free 1-1/4 to 3/4 inch copper transition, which is what you want in an occupied building, a hot-work-permit area, or any sprinklered ceiling where a torch is a problem. The tradeoff is the press tool and the correct jaws; a soldered reducing coupling needs no tool but needs heat and a dry line.
6) What is the Viega part number and where is this reducer made?
Order it as Viega 78092. It is made in Germany.
