Viega 79260 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of connection does the Viega 79260 ProPress adapter make on each end?
The Viega 79260 is a press-to-male-thread adapter: one end is a 1-1/4 inch ProPress socket that presses onto copper tube, the other is a 1-1/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT). It is the fitting you use to bring a pressed copper run into a threaded connection such as a valve, pump, or a piece of threaded iron or brass.
2) Will the Viega 79260 press adapter work on 1-1/4 inch copper tube?
Yes. The press end is sized 1-1/4 inch, so it goes onto nominal 1-1/4 inch copper tube, and the threaded end is also 1-1/4 inch MPT. Both ends are the same size, so there is no reduction through the fitting. For a size change you need a separate reducer or a different adapter size.
3) Do I still need to press a Viega fitting if I forget one, or will it hold pressure anyway?
Smart Connect is the feature that stops an unpressed joint from hiding on you. An unpressed Viega ProPress connection leaks visibly during pressure testing so the installer can find and press it, rather than passing test and failing later behind a wall. It is not a substitute for pressing every joint, it is how you catch the one you missed.
4) Is the Viega 79260 adapter safe for potable water lines?
It is made of zero lead bronze, which is what puts it in the potable water category rather than domestic-only non-potable use. Bronze body, press on one end, male thread on the other.
5) Should I use a press adapter like the Viega 79260 or just solder a male adapter on?
Press is the choice when you cannot or do not want to put open flame on the job, occupied buildings, ceilings with combustibles, tenant-occupied units, or a line you need back in service fast. The 79260 gives you a 1-1/4 inch press socket on the tube side and a 1-1/4 inch male thread on the other, so the joint is made cold with a press tool and jaw instead of heat and solder. A soldered male adapter needs a dry line, flame, and cooldown before you can thread into it.
