Viega 79050 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Viega 79050 check valve press onto 1-1/4 inch copper tubing?
The Viega 79050 is a 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch ProPress check valve with press ends on both sides (P1 x P2). It goes onto 1-1/4 inch nominal tube and is pressed with ProPress jaws, so there is no soldering or threading at either connection.
2) Is the Viega 79050 check valve lead free for potable water?
It is a Zero Lead bronze body valve, which is the line Viega builds for potable water service. The bronze construction also suits it to hydronic and mechanical piping.
3) Does the Viega 79050 check valve have to be installed in a certain direction?
Yes. A check valve only allows flow one way, so the 79050 has to be installed with the arrow on the body pointing in the direction of flow. Reversing it will block the line.
4) What does Smart Connect technology do on a Viega press valve?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: if a fitting is left unpressed, it leaks during pressure testing so the installer finds it before the walls close up. On the 79050 it applies to both 1-1/4 inch press ends.
5) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 79050 into a pipe run?
Plan on a compact insert: the valve measures 1.76 inches height, 1.76 inches length and 3.74 inches width, and weighs 0.639 lbs. Leave clearance around it for the press jaw to close on both ends.
6) Is the Viega 79050 check valve made in the USA?
No, the 79050 is manufactured in Germany. That matters if your project carries a domestic-sourcing requirement on plumbing components.
7) What is the exact part number to order the 1-1/4 inch Viega ProPress bronze check valve?
Order Viega part number 79050. That is the Zero Lead bronze ProPress check valve in 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch with Smart Connect.
