Viega 79585 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three connections on the Viega 79585 ProPress tee?
The Viega 79585 is a reducing tee with two 3/4 inch press ends and a 1/4 inch female threaded branch, listed as P1 x P2 x FPT. So the run presses onto 3/4 inch copper tube and the branch takes a 1/4 inch male NPT nipple or fitting, which is what makes it a common pick for a gauge, a small sensor well, or a drain cock takeoff.
2) Can I use a ProPress 3/4 inch bronze tee on potable water lines?
Yes. The 79585 tee is zero lead bronze, which is what qualifies a press fitting for potable domestic water as well as hydronic service. It is a bronze body throughout, not a plated brass casting.
3) Will the Viega 79585 press onto 3/4 inch type L copper?
Yes. Both press ends are sized to 3/4 inch nominal copper tube, which covers type K, L, and M in that size since all three share the same outside diameter. Clean and deburr the tube, mark your insertion depth, and press with a 3/4 inch jaw.
4) What does Smart Connect do on a Viega press tee?
Smart Connect is a deliberate feature in the sealing element of the 79585 that lets an unpressed joint leak a small amount when the system is filled and pressure tested. The point is that a connection you forgot to crimp shows itself during test instead of after the wall is closed. It does not replace pressing the joint.
5) How much space does the Viega 79585 tee take up in a tight chase?
Plan on roughly 3.15 x 1.803 x 1.248 inches for the fitting body. The press ends also need clearance around the full circumference for the jaw to close, so measure your tool's jaw envelope, not just the fitting, when you are working between joists or against a stud face. The fitting itself weighs 0.253 lbs.
6) What part number do I order for a 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/4 FPT ProPress bronze tee?
Viega part number 79585. Call it out by that MPN when you spec it, because the 3/4 inch ProPress tee family runs through many branch sizes and the only thing separating them on paper is the number.
7) Where is the Viega 79585 ProPress tee manufactured?
Germany. That matters on public and institutional jobs where country of origin has to be documented in the submittal package.
