Viega 79580 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size copper does the Viega 79580 ProPress tee press onto?
It is a 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch tee, so both press ends take 1/2 inch copper tube and the branch is 1/2 inch female pipe thread. All three ports are the same nominal size, no reducing.
2) Is the Viega 79580 tee lead free and OK for potable water?
It is a Zero Lead bronze ProPress tee, so it is built for potable water service. Bronze body, 1/2 inch throughout.
3) What does Smart Connect do on this Viega ProPress tee, and does it mean I can skip pressing a joint?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-joint feature: an unpressed connection will leak during pressure test so the installer finds it before the wall closes up. It is a safeguard, not a substitute. Both press ends on the 79580 still have to be pressed with the correct 1/2 inch ProPress jaw before the system goes into service.
4) How much room do I need to fit a 1/2 inch Viega ProPress bronze tee in a joist bay or stud cavity?
Plan around a body measuring 3.228 x 1.776 x 0.957 inches, and then add clearance for the press tool jaw to swing around each of the two press ends. The fitting itself is small, 0.237 lbs, but the jaw is what decides whether you can press it in a tight bay. Rough in the run with enough open space on both sides of the tee.
5) Do I need a ProPress tool for the Viega 79580, or can I solder it?
Press only on the two run ends. This is a ProPress fitting with an EPDM sealing element in each press socket, and heat will destroy it. You need a press tool with a 1/2 inch ProPress jaw. The FPT branch is made up conventionally with thread sealant or tape.
6) Where is the Viega 79580 ProPress tee manufactured?
Made in Germany. Useful if you are matching a submittal or a spec that calls out country of origin on the fitting package.
