Viega 20041 Three Way Diverting Valve 1.5 in Bronze

Product Description

The VIEGA 20041 is a three-way bronze diverting valve designed for hydronic and plumbing distribution systems. It redirects flow between two outlet paths from a single inlet, making it a common component in radiant heating, chilled water, and domestic hot water recirculation circuits. The valve is sized at 1.5 inches and uses a press-style connection (Connection Type C), allowing for fast, flameless installation. Manufactured in Germany, it is built to the dimensional and material standards expected in professional mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of valve.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial hydronic systems where flow needs to be directed or diverted between two zones or circuits. Its bronze construction makes it appropriate for use in potable water and heating applications where dezincification resistance and durability under sustained operating pressure are required. The 1.5-inch size fits mid-range distribution lines typical in multi-zone radiant or forced hot water systems. The model number reference is 2873.1US.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system and drain the affected line before removing or installing the valve.
