Bronze Press-Fit Union for Potable Water
This Viega 79135 straight union joins two 1-inch copper tubes using press-fit connections on both ends. The bronze body carries an EPDM O-ring and meets ASTM B75 and ASTM B88 standards for potable-water systems. Maximum operating pressure is 200 psi at temperatures up to 250 degrees F.
Suited for Press-Tool Installations Only
Installers who already own a compatible press tool and need a permanent, flame-free joint will use this fitting. Plumbers who rely on solder, compression or threaded connections cannot use this union without changing their joining method.
1-Inch Press-Fit Ends Determine Compatibility
The union accepts 1-inch copper tube on each side and requires a press tool calibrated for that size. If the piping is a different diameter or uses a different joining system, this fitting will not fit.
