Viega 44350 1/2 Inch Crimp X Press Transition Coupling

Product Description

The VIEGA 44350 is a zero lead bronze transition coupling designed to connect 1/2 inch crimp fittings to 1/2 inch press connections in PEX plumbing systems. Part of the Viega PureFlow line, this fitting incorporates Smart Connect Technology, which allows installers to visually verify a complete press connection before the system is pressurized. The 44350 is manufactured from zero lead bronze, meeting drinking water safety requirements, and is produced in Germany. Compact in size at 1.602 inches in length and 0.957 inches in diameter, it is suited for tight spaces in both new construction and retrofit plumbing work.

This transition coupling is used wherever a crimp-style PEX connection must transition to a press-style fitting in residential or light commercial plumbing systems. It is particularly useful during phased installations or service calls where existing crimp infrastructure must interface with a press system. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.
