Bronze Press-Fit Adapter for Potable Water
The Viega 79855 is a straight bronze adapter designed for potable water systems. It connects a 2 in FTG copper tube to a 1/2 in press-fit copper tube. This fitting suits plumbers and installers working on residential or commercial water distribution lines.
Verify Tube Sizes and Press Tool Compatibility
Before ordering, confirm the existing copper tubing matches the 2 in FTG and 1/2 in press-fit dimensions. Ensure the press tool and jaw set are rated for the fitting size and that the system operates within the 200 psi maximum pressure rating. The fitting is restricted from sale in certain states.
Bronze Body with EPDM O-Ring Seal
The bronze construction provides corrosion resistance for potable water applications. The integral EPDM O-ring creates a watertight seal when pressed, eliminating the need for solder or flux. The straight shape allows inline installation with an overall length of 3 7/32 in.
