Product Description
The VIEGA 77347 is a 90-degree street elbow designed for use with the Viega ProPress system. It features Smart Connect technology, which allows installers to identify unpressed connections during pressure testing, reducing the risk of undetected leaks in a completed system. Manufactured from copper, this fitting measures 1/2 inch with a Press x Fitting connection type. It is installed without open flame, making it well suited for environments where torch work is restricted or undesirable. Licensed plumbers working on residential and light commercial water distribution systems are the primary installers of this fitting.
This street elbow is used in plumbing systems where a 90-degree direction change is required and space is limited. The street configuration eliminates the need for an additional coupling or nipple between fittings, reducing overall component count and installation time. It is appropriate for potable water supply lines and general plumbing distribution in both new construction and retrofit applications.
Key Features
- Smart Connect technology identifies unpressed joints during pressure testing
- Flame-free press installation eliminates torch and solder requirements
- Street elbow configuration reduces fitting count in tight spaces
- Copper construction compatible with standard copper tubing systems
- 90-degree turn in a compact, single-fitting form factor
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Viega ProPress copper press-fit plumbing systems accepting 1/2 inch Press x Fitting connections.
Installation Notes
Installation of this fitting requires a Viega-approved pressing tool fitted with the correct jaw size for 1/2 inch ProPress fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Do not use this fitting with non-press connection methods such as soldering or compression unless the fitting is explicitly rated for those methods.
