Viega 44365 Pex Crimp Press Transition Coupling 3/4 in

Product Description

The VIEGA 44365 is a zero lead bronze transition coupling designed to connect 3/4 inch PEX crimp tubing to a 3/4 inch press fitting system. Part of the Viega PureFlow line, this fitting incorporates Smart Connect Technology, which provides a visual indicator to verify proper seating before the press tool is engaged. The coupling body is manufactured from bright-finish bronze and meets zero lead requirements for potable water applications. At 0.1 pounds and compact overall dimensions, it installs quickly in tight spaces. Plumbers and pipefitters working on residential or light commercial water distribution systems rely on this fitting to transition between crimp and press connection types without additional adapters.

This coupling is suited for potable water supply systems where a PEX crimp connection must meet an existing or new press-fit copper or press-compatible line. Typical install scenarios include new construction plumbing, remodel work, and repair applications where mixing PEX and press system components is required. The zero lead bronze construction makes it appropriate for drinking water lines subject to lead-free compliance requirements under applicable plumbing codes.
