Full-Port Bronze Ball Valve
The Viega ProPress 24020 is a full-port ball valve built from bronze, a material harder than brass that resists corrosion and metal fatigue better than steel. It is designed for installers who need reliable shut-off in plumbing systems without the time and fire risk of sweating copper joints.
Flameless Press Installation
This valve uses flameless press technology so connections are completed in seconds without an open flame, eliminating the need for solder, flux or a fire watch. The Viega Smart Connect feature identifies any unpressed connections during pressure testing, preventing leaks before the system goes live. It is not for installers who must use threaded or soldered fittings specified by local code.
1-1/2 Inch Press Connection
The valve has 1-1/2 inch press ends on both sides, so it only fits piping prepared for that exact connection size. Buyers working with different diameters or thread standards will need a different fitting.

Questions about this item
How do I press the 24020 valve onto copper pipe without missing a connection?
Use a compatible press tool on each end; the Smart Connect feature will leak during pressure testing if any joint was not fully pressed.
What part of the 24020 valve will need replacement first in a hydronic system?
The bronze body resists corrosion and metal fatigue better than steel, so the press-seal O-rings are the typical wear item over time.
What pressure or temperature limit does the 24020 hit first under continuous operation?
The bronze construction handles higher pressure and temperature than brass or steel, so the system design pressure usually governs before the valve itself.
