Viega 78107 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does FTG x P mean on the Viega 78107 ProPress reducer?
FTG x P describes the two ends of the Viega 78107 reducer. The FTG (fitting) end is sized like copper tube, so it inserts INTO a 1-1/2 inch press fitting or socket. The P end is a 1-1/4 inch press socket that receives 1-1/4 inch copper tube. So it is not a straight coupling with two press sockets; one side goes in, one side takes tube.
2) I need to drop from 1-1/2 inch copper to 1-1/4 inch, is the Viega 78107 the right fitting?
Yes, if your 1-1/2 inch side is a press fitting or socket you can insert into. The 78107 reduces 1-1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch, with the 1-1/2 inch end built as a fitting (FTG) end and the 1-1/4 inch end as a press socket for tube. If instead you have a cut length of 1-1/2 inch copper tube to join, you want a reducer with a press socket on the large side rather than this FTG configuration.
3) Do I need a special press tool jaw for a 1-1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch ProPress reducer?
You press each end at its own size, not at one size. The 1-1/4 inch press socket on the 78107 needs a 1-1/4 inch ProPress jaw or ring, and the 1-1/2 inch FTG end gets pressed by whatever fitting it inserts into, using that fitting's 1-1/2 inch jaw or ring. Plan both sizes into the tooling you bring to the job.
4) What is the exact part number and origin for the Viega 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 ProPress copper reducer?
Order it as Viega 78107. It is a ProPress copper reducer in 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch with Smart Connect technology, and it is made in Germany.
5) What does Smart Connect technology on this Viega press fitting actually do for me on the job?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed connection leak a small amount during pressure test, so you can find the joint you missed before you close up a wall. On the 78107 it applies at the 1-1/4 inch press socket. It is a verification aid, not a substitute for pressing every joint.
6) How much room does the Viega 78107 reducer take up in a tight chase?
The 78107 measures 1.76 inches in length and height with a 3.071 inch width across, and weighs 0.304 lbs. It is a compact body, but remember press joints also need clearance around the fitting for the jaw to close, so allow more than the fitting footprint when you are laying out a tight chase or ceiling space.
