Viega 49443 Pex Press Polymer Tee 3/4x3/4x1/2 in

Product Description

The VIEGA 49443 is a PEX Press PureFlow polymer tee designed for use in pressurized water distribution systems. This fitting connects PEX tubing runs with a press-style connection that eliminates the need for open flame or soldering. The tee features Viega Smart Connect technology, which provides a visual indicator to confirm a complete and secure press connection. The zero-lead polymer construction meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers typically install this fitting in residential and light commercial water supply systems.

This tee is sized at 3/4 inches by 3/4 inches by 1/2 inches, making it well suited for branch connections off a 3/4-inch main line to a 1/2-inch supply run. Common applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, manifold branch extensions, and PEX retrofit projects where flame-free installation is required. The polymer body is appropriate for use in concealed or open plumbing installations where PEX press fittings are specified.
