Bronze Crimp Adapter for Potable Water
The Viega 79440 is a straight bronze crimp adapter designed for potable water systems. It connects a 3/4 in FTG copper tube on one side to a 1/2 in FNPT pipe thread on the other. An EPDM O-ring provides the seal at the crimp connection. The fitting is manufactured to handle the demands of residential and commercial plumbing installations.
Replaces Threaded or Sweat Transition Fittings
This adapter replaces the need for separate threaded couplings or sweat fittings when joining dissimilar pipe types. The jump is worth it when a installer needs a single, code compliant component to transition from copper tube to female pipe threads without additional soldering or threading steps. It reduces potential leak points by consolidating the connection into one factory made fitting.
Rated for 200 psi at 250 Degrees F
Under sustained load the fitting maintains its pressure rating of 200 psi up to a maximum operating temperature of 250 degrees F. The bronze body and EPDM seal resist degradation from continuous hot water circulation. The straight through design minimises flow restriction during extended demand periods. Overall length is 1 25/32 in.

Questions about this item
What size copper tubing does the 3/4 in FTG end of the Viega 79440 accept?
The FTG end is sized for 3/4 in copper tube and is joined by crimping with an appropriate tool and jaw.
Which sealing component is included on the 1/2 in FNPT side of the 79440 and what should be checked during installation?
An EPDM O-ring provides the seal; verify it is seated and undamaged before threading the adapter into the female NPT port.
What temperature and pressure limits determine when the bronze adapter must be replaced?
Replace the fitting if the system exceeds 250 Degrees F or 200 psi, or if the bronze body shows corrosion or deformation.
