Viega 49553 Pureflow Press Tee 1x1x1/2 Inch Polymer

Product Description

The VIEGA 49553 is a polymer press tee designed for PureFlow piping systems used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. This fitting connects two run ports at 1 inch nominal and one branch port at 1/2 inch nominal, all with press-style end connections. The press connection eliminates the need for open flame or solvent cement, making it a clean and efficient choice for installers working in occupied or finished spaces. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting in potable water distribution and hydronic piping applications.

The VIEGA 49553 is suited for PureFlow polymer pipe systems in residential new construction and retrofit projects. Its press-end configuration allows for fast, tool-based assembly without soldering or gluing. The 1 x 1 x 1/2 inch reducing tee configuration is a common layout for branch takeoffs in domestic water distribution systems, serving fixtures such as lavatories, water heaters, and other terminal connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of press fittings requires a VIEGA-approved press tool with the correct jaw set for the pipe diameter and fitting series. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing piping. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for polymer pipe systems. Inspect each pressed connection visually after pressing to confirm full seating before pressurizing the system.
