Product Description
The VIEGA 77607 is a ProPress 45-degree elbow fitting made from copper, designed for use in pressurized plumbing systems. It connects 1/2-inch pipe to 1/2-inch pipe at a 45-degree angle without soldering, using Viega Smart Connect technology. Smart Connect allows technicians to visually verify that a fitting has been properly pressed by revealing an indicator element if the connection was missed during installation. At 0.094 pounds, this compact fitting is suited for tight spaces where a directional change is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting on copper water supply lines in both new construction and retrofit applications.
This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where copper press-fit systems are specified. The ProPress connection method eliminates open-flame soldering, reducing fire risk and speeding up installation time on potable water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, and related systems. It is appropriate for use in walls, ceilings, and mechanical rooms where torch work is restricted or impractical.

Compatibility
Designed for use with 1/2-inch copper pipe in Viega ProPress press-fit plumbing systems. Compatible with standard Viega ProPress pressing tools and jaw sets rated for 1/2-inch copper fittings.
Installation Notes
Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber using a compatible Viega ProPress pressing tool. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting pipe and seating the fitting. Ensure pipe ends are deburred, cleaned, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressing. Verify the Smart Connect indicator to confirm each connection has been properly pressed before restoring system pressure.
