Viega ProPressG adapter - 16093

ProPressG is Viega's gas-rated press system, and the 16093 is a ProPressG fitting, so it belongs on gas piping rather than potable water. It's bronze bodied with a 1 inch press socket and 1 inch female thread. Don't mix ProPressG fittings with the water-service ProPress sealing elements; the gas system uses its own seal, identified in the field by the yellow marking on the fitting.

A press fitting makes the joint cold, with no flame, so it's the practical choice in an occupied building, a finished space, or anywhere a hot work permit would slow the job. The 16093 gives you a 1 inch press socket on the tubing side and a 1 inch female thread on the other, which is how you transition from press piping to a threaded valve, regulator, or appliance drop without ever lighting a torch. The tradeoff is tooling: you need the correct press tool and 1 inch jaw on hand, whereas a threaded or soldered transition needs none.

Order Viega model 16093. That's the manufacturer part number for the 1 inch press by 1 inch female thread ProPressG bronze adapter.

Both. The 16093 bronze adapter is listed for commercial and residential applications, so it works in multi-family, light commercial mechanical rooms, and single-family alike. It's made in Germany.

Bronze. For a female NPT connection that matters in a practical way: bronze holds up well where a threaded joint sees wrench torque and repeated service, and it pairs correctly with steel or brass male threads. Use a thread sealant rated for the service and wrench on the hex, not on the press socket.
