Viega 44226 Pureflow Crimp 90 Stub-out Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The VIEGA 44226 is a copper 90-degree stub-out elbow designed for PEX crimp installations in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It features a 1/2-inch PEX insert crimp end on one side and a 1/2-inch closed sweat fitting end on the other, transitioning PEX tubing to a fixed copper outlet for fixture connections. The overall footprint measures 3-1/2 inches by 6 inches, with a length of 6.06 inches. Manufactured in the USA from copper, this fitting is part of the Viega PureFlow product line. It is installed by licensed plumbers as part of rough-in work where PEX supply lines terminate at wall stub-outs for sinks, lavatories, or similar fixtures.

The VIEGA 44226 is suited for residential new construction and remodel applications where PEX supply runs are terminated at the wall for faucet or fixture supply connections. The stub-out configuration allows the fitting to be secured to framing before drywall installation, providing a rigid, fixed outlet point. It is appropriate for hot or cold water supply lines in typical domestic plumbing systems. No batteries, hazardous materials, or additional kit components are included.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting or joining any fittings. Use a calibrated PEX crimp tool with the appropriate crimp ring size for the 1/2-inch insert end, and verify ring placement with a go/no-go gauge after crimping. The sweat end should be soldered using standard copper joining procedures with lead-free solder as required by code.
