Viega 49256 Pex Press Manifold 1 X 1/2 Inch Polymer

Product Description

The VIEGA 49256 is a PEX press manifold designed for residential and light commercial hydronic and domestic water distribution systems. It features a 1-inch main trunk with 1/2-inch branch outlets and is constructed from polymer for corrosion resistance and long service life. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors use this manifold to create home-run distribution layouts, where each fixture or zone receives a dedicated supply line from a central distribution point. This design eliminates the pressure drops and cross-connection risks common in traditional branched copper systems.

The 49256 is suited for residential hot and cold domestic water distribution as well as low-temperature radiant heating systems. Its press-fit connection system is compatible with VIEGA PureFlow PEX press tooling, making it a practical choice for new construction and retrofit installations where soldering is not preferred or permitted. The manifold is designed for domestic use, meeting the requirements of standard residential plumbing applications.

Key Features

• 1-inch main trunk with 1/2-inch branch outlets for home-run distribution layouts
• Polymer construction resists corrosion in domestic water and hydronic applications
• Press-fit connection system eliminates the need for open flame or soldering
• Compact manifold design simplifies rough-in and reduces installation time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style component for use with VIEGA PureFlow PEX press systems in residential domestic water and hydronic distribution 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 main water supply and depressurize the system before making any connections. Use only the manufacturer-approved VIEGA press tooling and jaws rated for PEX press fittings to ensure a proper crimp. Secure the manifold to a structural surface using appropriate mounting hardware before pressurizing the system.
