Viega 79590 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three connection ends on the Viega 79590 ProPress tee?
The 79590 is a 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch tee with two press ends and one female threaded branch. The connection call-out is P1 x P2 x FPT, so the run is press-to-press on 3/4 inch copper tube and the 1/2 inch outlet takes male pipe threads.
2) Can I use a Viega 79590 bronze press tee on potable water lines?
Yes. The 79590 is a zero lead bronze ProPress tee, which is the material Viega supplies for potable water service. Use it where you need to branch a 3/4 inch copper run down to a 1/2 inch threaded takeoff, such as a fixture stop, gauge, hose bibb, or a threaded valve.
3) Do I need a threaded adapter to hang a valve off this Viega press tee?
No adapter needed on the branch. The 1/2 inch outlet is already female pipe thread, so a male-threaded valve, nipple, or stop threads straight in. Only the two 3/4 inch run ends need pressing with a ProPress jaw.
4) What does Smart Connect mean on the Viega 79590, and why does it matter to an inspector?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed fitting leaks visibly during pressure test so it gets found on the job rather than after the wall closes. On a tee like the 79590 that matters because there are two press joints to make and one is easy to skip when you are working around a threaded branch.
5) What part number and manufacturer should I put on the submittal for this press tee?
Specify Viega ProPress part number 79590, zero lead bronze, 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/2 reducing tee with FPT branch. It is made in Germany.
