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.
