Viega 49885 Pureflow Press Tee 1-1/2 X 1-1/2 X 1 in Polymer

Product Description

The VIEGA 49885 is a PureFlow press tee designed for potable water and hydronic piping systems where tool-pressed, solderless connections are required. This reducing tee measures 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1 inches nominal and features a press end style on all three ports, eliminating open flame from the connection process. Constructed from polymer, the fitting is suited for installations where corrosion resistance and material compatibility are priorities. Licensed plumbers typically specify this fitting for both new construction and retrofit work where speed and code-compliance are essential.

The 49885 is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, particularly in applications where copper or PEX press systems are specified. The press end style allows for fast, repeatable connections using a compatible press tool and jaw set, making it a practical choice for tight spaces or occupied buildings where torch use is restricted or prohibited. It is domestic in origin, which may satisfy project specifications requiring domestic product sourcing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Use only a compatible press tool and correctly sized jaw or ring for each port diameter, and verify each connection with a visual inspection mark or unpressed indicator before restoring pressure.
