Viega 79370 Pipe Adapter 2 Inch Press X Fnpt Bronze

Product Description

The VIEGA 79370 is a 2-inch nominal pipe adapter designed for ProPress press-fit plumbing systems. It features a Press x Female NPT (FNPT) end style, allowing a direct transition from a press-fit copper or compatible pipe connection to a threaded female port. Constructed from bronze, this adapter is built for durability in both residential and commercial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of press-fit assembly, eliminating open-flame soldering at the transition point. The FNPT end accepts standard threaded male fittings, valves, or equipment connections.

This adapter is suited for use in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general plumbing distribution where a press-to-threaded transition is required. It is commonly installed at equipment connections, fixture drops, or anywhere a threaded interface must be integrated into a press-fit piping run. The 2-inch nominal size is standard in commercial and light industrial plumbing as well as larger residential systems.

Key Features

• 2-inch nominal size for medium to large diameter press-fit plumbing runs
• Press x FNPT end style enables flameless transition to threaded connections
• Bronze construction offers corrosion resistance in water service applications
• Compatible with ProPress press-fit tooling and system components
• FNPT end accepts standard male-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use within ProPress press-fit piping systems at 2-inch nominal diameter connections requiring a female NPT threaded outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation of the press end requires a manufacturer-approved press tool with the correct 2-inch jaw set. Shut off and depressurize the water system completely before beginning work. The FNPT end should be assembled with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape per applicable plumbing code such as the IPC or local authority requirements. Do not over-tighten the threaded connection, as bronze threads can be damaged by excessive torque applied without a backup wrench.
