Viega 79540 90 Deg Press X Fnpt Elbow 3/4 in Bronze

Product Description

The VIEGA 79540 is a 90-degree pipe elbow designed for use in press-fit plumbing systems requiring a transition to female NPT threading. Manufactured from bronze, this fitting connects a press-style end to a 3/4 inch FNPT end, allowing installers to tie press-system runs into threaded pipe, valves, or equipment connections. The press end eliminates open-flame soldering at the fitting, making it suitable for work in occupied spaces or areas where torch use is restricted. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a direction change of 90 degrees is needed and a threaded female connection is required on one end. Typical applications include domestic water supply systems, hydronic heating distribution, and similar closed-loop plumbing systems. The 3/4 inch nominal size is a common distribution-line dimension found throughout residential and small commercial construction.

Key Features

• 90-degree change of direction in a single fitting
• Press x FNPT end configuration allows direct connection to threaded components
• Bronze construction provides corrosion resistance for potable water and hydronic service
• Press end eliminates torch soldering, reducing fire risk and labor time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit bronze elbow for use in 3/4 inch press-system plumbing installations compatible with standard press tooling and FNPT-threaded components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply before working on any fitting. Press connections require a compatible press tool and the correct jaw size for the fitting diameter. Do not use the press end with a torch or attempt to solder the press-style connection.
