Viega ProPress 1/2" Ball Valve

This Viega ProPress ball valve is a manual two-way shut-off valve built for water supply lines. It connects 1/2-inch nominal tubing on both ends in a straight body style. The valve suits residential and light-commercial plumbing installations where a reliable full-port brass valve is required. It is not intended for steam, combustible gas or vacuum-rated systems beyond the listed 29.2 in Hg rating.

Press-Fit Installation and Common Issues

The valve uses Viega ProPress press-fit ends, so no threading, soldering or glue is needed — just a compatible press tool and the correct jaw for 1/2-inch tubing. Common problems include pressing with an incompatible jaw size, leaving debris on the tube end, or failing to insert the tube to the full depth mark, any of which can cause leaks. The three-piece brass and bronze body allows disassembly for inspection, but the non-locking handle means the valve can be turned accidentally if not secured.

200 psi Maximum Operating Pressure

The single specification that decides fit is the 200 psi maximum operating pressure for water. If the system pressure exceeds this limit, the valve is not the right part. The full-port chrome-plated brass ball and 29.2 in Hg vacuum rating support standard potable-water applications, but the valve carries no 3-A sanitary rating and is not rated for steam or combustible gas service.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the valve is working correctly after installation?

Pressurise the system up to 200 psi and confirm no leaks; the valve should hold vacuum to 29.2 in Hg and operate smoothly through its full port range.

What components are included and what must I supply separately?

The valve body with chrome-plated brass ball and non-locking handle are supplied; ProPress fittings, tubing and pressing tool are purchased separately.

Which ProPress ball valve version should I select for a standard 1/2 in water line?

Choose the 24000 model with 1/2 in x 1/2 in straight three-piece brass body rated for 200 psi water service.
