Viega 79365 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Viega 79365 ProPress adapter connect to on each end?
The Viega 79365 is a press-by-female-thread adapter: one end is a 1-1/2 inch ProPress socket that crimps onto 1-1/2 inch tube, the other is 1-1/2 inch female pipe thread. So it takes you from a pressed copper run into any male-threaded 1-1/2 inch component, such as a valve nipple, pump tailpiece, or threaded riser.
2) Can I use the Viega 79365 on PEX or CPVC?
No. The press end of the 79365 is a ProPress socket sized for 1-1/2 inch copper tube with an O-ring seal. PEX and CPVC need their own transition fittings. The threaded side is standard 1-1/2 inch FPT, so you can thread into it from any material with a male NPT adapter.
3) Is the Viega 79365 adapter safe for potable drinking water lines?
It is a Zero Lead bronze body, which is what Viega uses for potable water service. The bronze construction also suits it to hydronic and mechanical work where a copper alloy fitting is specified.
4) What is Smart Connect on this Viega press fitting and why does it matter on the job?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature built into the 79365 adapter. An unpressed fitting leaks visibly during pressure test, so a joint you missed shows itself before the wall closes up rather than after. It does not change how the fitting is pressed, only how a miss gets caught.
5) How much room does the Viega 1-1/2 inch press x FPT adapter take up in a tight chase?
The fitting measures 2.441 x 2.213 x 2.087 inches overall and weighs 0.56 lbs. The bigger constraint in a tight space is usually the press ring, which needs clear swing room around the socket, not the fitting body itself.
6) Do I need sealant on the threaded side of this press adapter?
The female thread on the 79365 is a standard tapered NPT joint, so it takes thread sealant or PTFE tape the same as any other threaded fitting. Only the press end seals on its own, through the O-ring in the socket.
