Viega 79230 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Viega 79230 ProPress adapter connect to on each end?
The Viega 79230 is a press-by-male-thread adapter: one end is a 3/4 inch ProPress socket that crimps onto 3/4 inch copper tube, and the other is 3/4 inch male pipe thread. Connection type is listed as P x MPT, so use it where you need to transition from pressed copper into a female-threaded valve, gauge port, appliance connection, or female adapter.
2) Is the Viega 79230 adapter safe for potable water lines?
Yes. The 79230 is a Zero Lead bronze ProPress adapter, which is what Viega supplies for potable water service. The body material is listed as bronze.
3) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 79230, and does it change how I press it?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed connection leak during pressure testing so you can find any joint you missed before the system is closed in. It does not change the press procedure: insert the tube to the mark, press with the correct 3/4 inch jaw, then pressure test and look for the tell-tale leak. It is a feature of this ProPress adapter, not a separate part to order.
4) Do I need thread sealant on the male end of the 79230 press adapter?
The threaded side is a conventional 3/4 inch MPT joint, so it gets made up the normal way with tape or pipe dope rated for the service. Only the press end is sealed by the ProPress EPDM seal. Back up the fitting body with a wrench when tightening the thread so you do not torque the pressed joint.
5) How much room does the Viega 79230 3/4 inch press adapter take up in a tight wall cavity?
It is a compact fitting: 1.929 inches across, 1.248 inches in the other two stated dimensions, and 0.155 lbs. Plan clearance for the press jaw around the socket rather than the fitting itself, since the tool ring needs more space than the adapter body.
