Viega 17608 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and connection does the Viega ProPressG union 17608 have on each end?
The 17608 ProPressG union is a 1 inch by 1 inch fitting with press connections on both ends (P1 x P2). It goes onto 1 inch tubing on each side, so no threading or soldering is involved, just a press tool with the correct 1 inch jaw.
2) What is the Viega 17608 union made of, and is it suitable for gas piping?
It is a bronze-bodied press union from Viega's ProPressG line, which is the gas-rated side of the ProPress family rather than the potable water side. Bronze construction is what pairs it with copper gas tubing systems. Confirm the fuel gas and pressure against your local code before installing.
3) Why use a union instead of a straight press coupling on a gas line?
A coupling is permanent once pressed. A union like the 17608 gives you a disconnect point, so a meter, regulator, appliance, or valve can be pulled and reinstalled without cutting pipe. Contractors typically set one on each side of any component that will eventually be serviced or replaced.
4) What is the part number and barcode I should order the 1 inch Viega ProPressG union under?
Order it as Viega part 17608. That is the manufacturer part number for the 1 inch by 1 inch bronze ProPressG union, and it is the number to give a distributor or put on a purchase order.
5) Can the Viega 17608 ProPressG union be used in commercial buildings, or is it residential only?
Both. The 17608 is listed for commercial and residential applications, so it is used in multifamily, light commercial, and single-family gas work alike.
6) Where is the Viega ProPressG 17608 union manufactured?
Made in Germany. That matters on specification-driven and government jobs where country of origin has to be documented on the submittal.
7) Does the Viega 17608 union come in other sizes or configurations?
Part 17608 is a single configuration: 1 inch by 1 inch, press by press. There is no handing, finish, or size choice to make on this number, so if you need a different tubing size you are ordering a different ProPressG part number entirely.
