Viega 16228 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size copper tube does the Viega 16228 street elbow fit?
It is a 1 inch by 1 inch fitting. The press side takes 1 inch copper tube and the FTG side inserts into a 1 inch fitting socket. It is not reducing, so both ends stay on the same line size.
2) When should I use a 45 degree street elbow instead of a regular 45 elbow?
Use the street version when the turn lands right at another fitting or valve. A standard 45 has two sockets, so you would need a short piece of tube between it and the next fitting; the 16228 has a fitting end that plugs straight in, saving a joint and tightening the offset. If both sides of the turn are tube runs, a socket-by-socket 45 is the right part instead.
3) Do I need a press tool for the Viega 16228, or can it be soldered?
The press end is made to be crimped with a Viega-approved press tool and jaw sized for 1 inch copper, not soldered. Cut square, deburr, mark insertion depth, seat the tube fully and press. The FTG end goes into the mating fitting, which is pressed or joined per that fitting's own end type.
4) Is the Viega ProPressG 16228 elbow copper or bronze?
Copper. It is a wrought copper press fitting, so it is the same base metal as the tube it joins and there is no dissimilar metal junction at the connection.
5) Where is the Viega 16228 press elbow manufactured?
Made in Germany. Buyers standardizing a building or spec'ing for a submittal often need country of origin on the paperwork, and for this 1 inch ProPressG street elbow it is German manufacture.
