Viega 49544 Pureflow Press Tee 1x3/4x3/4 Polymer

Product Description

The VIEGA 49544 is a PureFlow press tee designed for joining polymer piping systems using a press-fit end style. The fitting connects a 1-inch run to two 3/4-inch branch outlets, eliminating the need for soldering, threading, or adhesive bonding. It is installed using a compatible press tool, making it a reliable choice for potable water distribution, hydronic, and plumbing rough-in applications. The polymer construction resists corrosion and scaling, and the press end style creates a mechanically secured, leak-tested joint. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting in both residential and light commercial work.

The 49544 tee is suited for interior plumbing systems where polymer press fittings are specified. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water supply lines, recirculation loops, and manifold branch connections. The 1 x 3/4 x 3/4 inch nominal configuration handles common trunk-to-branch transitions found in residential and light commercial plumbing layouts. Its press end style speeds up installation in tight spaces where open flame or threading equipment is impractical.

Key Features

• Press-fit end style eliminates soldering, threading, and adhesive — no open flame required
• 1 x 3/4 x 3/4 inch nominal size handles standard trunk-to-branch transitions
• Polymer construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with potable water systems
• Domestically sourced fitting aligned with project specifications requiring domestic products
• Compatible with press-tool installation for faster, repeatable joints in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting for use within the VIEGA PureFlow press fitting system. Consult VIEGA PureFlow system documentation to confirm compatible pipe materials, wall thicknesses, and approved press tools before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of press fittings is typically performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Use only a VIEGA-approved press tool and jaw set rated for the fitting size to ensure a properly completed joint. Inspect each pressed joint visually for full jaw engagement before restoring system pressure.
