Viega 49443 Pureflow Press Tee 3/4x3/4x1/2 Polymer

Product Description

The VIEGA 49443 is a PureFlow press-style tee fitting designed for use in potable water and plumbing distribution systems. Manufactured from polymer, this tee accepts press-end connections at all three ports and delivers a no-solder, no-flame joining method that reduces installation time in both new construction and retrofit applications. Port sizing is 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch nominal, making it well suited for branch take-offs from a main run where a reduced-diameter outlet is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this fitting type.

The VIEGA 49443 is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where PEX or compatible polymer piping systems are in use. The press-end configuration works with a standard press tool and appropriate jaws sized for the port diameters. The reduced 1/2 inch branch outlet is commonly used to serve individual fixtures or fixture groups off a 3/4 inch main distribution line. This fitting is domestically sourced, which supports compliance with Buy American and lead-free plumbing requirements on applicable projects.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. Use a calibrated press tool with jaws matched to each port diameter and verify the full 360-degree press indicator ring is visible after crimping. Do not use this fitting on systems or pressures outside the manufacturer published ratings for PureFlow polymer components.
