Viega ProPress ball valve 79938
This Viega ProPress ball valve is a manual two-way valve built for potable water systems. It suits installers and maintenance teams who need a reliable shut-off in bronze pipework.
Press-fit connection for bronze piping
The valve uses a press-fit end that joins directly to 1-1/4 inch bronze tubing without solder or thread sealant. This removes the need for open flame or threading tools and frees up space in tight mechanical rooms.
Full-port flow with locking lever handle
A stainless steel full-port ball keeps pressure drop low at up to 200 psi operating pressure. The locking lever handle prevents accidental operation while vacuum service is rated to 29.2 in Hg.
