Viega 79045 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Viega 79045 check valve need to be soldered, or is it press-fit?
No torch, no solder. The Viega 79045 is a ProPress check valve with press connections on both ends, so it goes on with a press tool and jaws. The connection is listed as P1 x P2, meaning both ends are press sockets rather than threaded or sweat.
2) Is the Viega 79045 check valve lead free for potable water?
Yes. The 79045 is built in Zero Lead bronze, which is what Viega uses for potable water service lines. The body material is bronze, so it also suits hydronic and mechanical room work where a plastic-bodied check would not hold up.
3) Does a check valve like the Viega 79045 have to go in a specific direction?
Yes, direction is the whole point of a check valve. It passes flow one way and closes against reverse flow, so the body has to be installed with the arrow following the intended direction of flow. Press it in backwards and you have blocked the line, and on a press fitting there is no unthreading it.
4) What is Smart Connect on a Viega ProPress check valve and why does it matter on a job?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed connection leak during pressure testing, so an inspector or the installer finds the missed joint before the walls close. On a check valve in a 1 inch line that matters because the valve sits inline with two press joints, and a skipped press behind drywall is the expensive kind of callback.
5) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 79045 into an existing 1 inch line?
The valve body measures 1.5 by 1.5 by 3.15 inches, so plan for roughly a 3-inch face-to-face section of pipe to be removed, plus clearance around the body for the press jaw to close squarely. Tight against a joist or a wall, the jaw swing is usually what limits you, not the valve.
