Viega 79310 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of connection does the Viega 79310 ProPress adapter have on each end?
The 79310 is a press-by-female-thread adapter: one end is a ProPress socket that gets crimped onto copper tube, the other is female pipe thread. The sizes are 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch, so it takes a 3/4 inch press connection down to 1/2 inch FPT. Use it where you need to transition from pressed copper to a threaded male component such as a valve nipple, gauge, or appliance connector.
2) Which end of the Viega 79310 is 3/4 inch, the press side or the thread side?
The press socket is the 3/4 inch side and the female thread is the 1/2 inch side. Viega's ProPress adapters are called out press size first, then thread size, and the connection is listed as P x FPT. So it presses onto 3/4 inch copper tube and accepts a 1/2 inch male NPT thread.
3) Is the Viega 79310 ProPress adapter safe for potable drinking water lines?
It is made of zero lead bronze, which is the material Viega uses for its potable water ProPress fittings. Bronze body, press socket on one end, 1/2 inch female thread on the other.
4) Do I need a special tool to install the Viega 79310, or can it be soldered?
This is a press fitting, not a solder fitting. The 3/4 inch end has to be crimped with a press tool and the correct 3/4 inch ProPress jaw or ring; there is no way to sweat it. The 1/2 inch female end is threaded and just needs thread sealant or tape and a wrench. If you do not have a press tool on site, a solder or threaded adapter is the better choice for that connection.
5) What does Smart Connect mean on a Viega ProPress adapter, and why does it matter on the job?
Smart Connect is the feature built into the sealing element of Viega ProPress fittings so an unpressed connection leaks visibly during pressure testing rather than passing the test and failing later behind a wall. On a run with several 79310 adapters, that is how you find the joint the crimper missed before the drywall goes up. It does not change how you press the fitting, it only makes a missed press obvious.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for the Viega 3/4 inch press by 1/2 inch FPT bronze adapter, and where is it made?
Viega part number 79310, a zero lead bronze ProPress adapter, 3/4 inch press by 1/2 inch female pipe thread. It is made in Germany. That part number is what you give a distributor to get the exact size combination rather than the 3/4 x 3/4 or 1/2 x 1/2 versions.
