Built with a brass body and EPDM softgoods, this valve provides reliable shutoff performance in hydronic, potable water, and general plumbing applications. The press-end connection style eliminates the need for soldering or threading, allowing faster installation with compatible press tooling. At 2.5 inches nominal size, it suits main distribution lines and larger branch connections where full-bore flow capacity is required. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors are the primary installers for this valve type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VIEGA 78300 is suited for larger-diameter press-fit piping systems in both new construction and retrofit projects. The full-port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve, making it appropriate for hydronic heating and cooling loops, domestic water distribution, and commercial mechanical rooms. The press-end style is compatible with standard press-fit copper or compatible piping systems using the appropriate jaw and ring size. No specific compatible model or system families were stated in the product data beyond the manufacturer model designation 2971.1XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-port ball design maintains maximum flow rate and minimizes pressure loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress-end connection style enables flame-free, no-thread installation with press tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass body construction provides durability in standard plumbing service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEPDM softgoods offer compatibility with potable water and hydronic fluid applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5 inches nominal size suited for main and large-branch distribution lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style press-end ball valve for 2.5 inch nominal press-fit piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC and local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system and verify the pipe is dry before pressing the connection, as press fittings require a dry joint for proper sealing. Use only calibrated press tooling with the correct jaw profile specified for this fitting size and series. Do not apply heat to the valve body or fittings during or after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoftgoods Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2971.1XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VIEGA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 78300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VIEGA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524689199410,"sku":"VIEGBV212","price":395.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0dd81360be069414bca33c29fcffea04.jpg?v=1785455330","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/viega-78300-2-5-in-press-end-full-port-ball-valve","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
