Viega 49153 Pex Press Manifold 1-1/2 X 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The VIEGA 49153 is a PureFlow PEX press manifold designed for hydronic and domestic plumbing distribution systems. Built from polymer construction, it features a 1-1/2-inch nominal inlet and 3/4-inch nominal outlet ports, making it a compact and corrosion-resistant solution for branching supply lines in residential and light commercial installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this manifold to consolidate multiple branch runs from a single supply header, reducing the number of field connections and improving system serviceability.

This manifold is suited for domestic water distribution and hydronic radiant systems where PEX press connections are specified. The press-fit design eliminates open-flame soldering at the manifold body, making it appropriate for installations in occupied spaces or areas with combustible materials nearby. It is manufactured domestically and is designed to meet the demands of modern plumbing system layouts that call for centralized distribution points.

Key Features

• 1-1/2-inch nominal inlet by 3/4-inch nominal outlet configuration for multi-branch distribution
• Polymer construction provides corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to brass or copper manifolds
• Press-fit connection system eliminates soldering, reducing installation time and flame risk
• Compatible with PEX press tooling for consistent, repeatable connections
• Domestically manufactured for supply chain reliability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style component for PEX press plumbing systems requiring a 1-1/2-inch by 3/4-inch manifold configuration in domestic water or hydronic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before beginning work. Use the appropriate VIEGA PEX press jaw and tool for the specified port sizes to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not attempt to connect this manifold with non-press fittings or incompatible tubing outside the rated specification.
