Viega 79525 90 Deg Pipe Elbow 1/2 in Press X Fnpt

Product Description

The VIEGA 79525 is a 90-degree pipe elbow designed for transitions between press-connect copper tubing and female NPT threaded connections. Constructed from bronze, this fitting delivers reliable performance in plumbing and hydronic systems where a directional change combined with a threaded outlet is required. The press end accepts standard press-connect tooling, eliminating open-flame soldering at the connection point. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems are the typical installers for this fitting type.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where 1/2-inch nominal copper tubing meets a threaded component such as a valve, sensor, or fixture fitting. The Press x FNPT configuration allows a no-solder press connection on one end while providing a standard female NPT threaded port on the other, making it useful in retrofit and new-construction scenarios alike where mixing press and threaded systems is necessary.

Key Features

• 90-degree directional change for pipe routing in tight spaces
• Press x FNPT end configuration allows integration with both press-connect and threaded systems
• Bronze construction for durability and corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic applications
• No open-flame required on the press end, reducing fire risk during installation
• 1/2-inch nominal size fits standard residential and light commercial plumbing runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-connect fitting for use with 1/2-inch nominal copper press tubing systems requiring a female NPT threaded outlet at a 90-degree turn.

Installation Notes

Installation of the press end requires an approved press-connect tool with the correct jaw size for 1/2-inch fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before beginning work. The FNPT threaded end should be assembled with an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape in accordance with local plumbing codes. Work should be performed by a licensed plumber where required by local jurisdiction.
