Viega 49433 Pex Press Pureflow Polymer Tee 3/4x1/2x1/2

Product Description

The VIEGA 49433 is a zero-lead polymer tee fitting designed for PEX press systems in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. It connects PEX tubing in a reducing tee configuration, allowing a 3/4-inch main run to branch into two 1/2-inch outlets. The fitting uses Viega PEX Press technology with a Smart Connect feature, which provides a visual indicator to verify that the connection was made correctly before pressing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of PureFlow PEX press systems, eliminating the need for open flame or soldering during assembly.

This fitting is suited for potable water distribution in residential construction, remodels, and repair applications. The reducing tee configuration is commonly used where a main supply line feeds a smaller branch line, such as dropping from a trunk line to an individual fixture supply. The zero-lead polymer construction meets requirements for use in drinking water systems.
