Viega 79210 Pipe Adapter 1/2x3/8 in Press X Mnpt Bronze

Product Description

The VIEGA 79210 is a bronze pipe adapter designed to transition from a press-style connection to a male NPT threaded fitting. Sized at 1/2 inch press by 3/8 inch MNPT, it allows plumbers to connect ProPress tubing runs directly to threaded male outlets, valves, or equipment inlets without soldering. The bronze construction provides solid corrosion resistance in potable water, hydronic, and light commercial plumbing applications. This adapter is a practical transition fitting for any job where a press system meets a threaded pipe connection.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where copper press systems interface with threaded male connections. Typical scenarios include connecting branch lines to fixture stops, equipment connections, and threaded valve bodies. It is installed by licensed plumbers using a compatible press tool and jaw set rated for the 1/2 inch press end.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch press inlet connects directly to copper press tubing systems
• 3/8 inch MNPT outlet threads into standard female NPT fittings, valves, or equipment ports
• Bronze construction resists corrosion in water and hydronic service
• Eliminates soldering at the transition point, reducing torch work on the job
• Compact adapter profile suited for tight spaces around fixtures and equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting for use in copper press plumbing systems requiring a transition to 3/8 inch male NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of the press end requires a calibrated press tool with the correct jaw size for 1/2 inch connections. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before beginning work. The MNPT end should be assembled with an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape in accordance with IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Do not use a pipe wrench directly on the fitting body to avoid distorting the press end geometry.
