Viega 80115 Propress 316SS Press X Fpt Adapter 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The VIEGA 80115 is a 316 stainless steel ProPress press-by-female-threaded adapter designed for permanent, tool-pressed pipe connections in commercial and industrial plumbing systems. One end accepts a standard ProPress tool-pressed fitting connection; the other end is a female NPT threaded port. The 316 stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to corrosion and chloride environments, making it a practical choice for marine, coastal, chemical, and food-service installations. Weighing 0.69 pounds, this 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch adapter is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working with stainless steel press systems.

This adapter is suited for both commercial and industrial piping applications where a transition from a ProPress-style pressed connection to a female NPT threaded connection is required. It is commonly installed at equipment connections, valve inlets, and branch takeoffs in potable water, HVAC hydronic, and light industrial process piping systems. The ProPress system eliminates open-flame soldering, which is particularly valuable in retrofit work or in environments where hot work permits are restricted.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• ProPress press connection eliminates the need for soldering, brazing, or open flame
• Female NPT threaded outlet for direct connection to threaded valves, equipment, or fittings
• 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch sizing for standard nominal pipe applications
• Lightweight at 0.69 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with the Viega ProPress system for stainless steel press fittings. Compatible with 1-1/2 inch ProPress tooling and press jaws rated for stainless steel fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system before making any connections. Use only press tools and jaws rated and approved for stainless steel ProPress fittings to ensure a complete, leak-free press. Do not overtighten the female NPT threaded connection; use appropriate thread sealant or tape per the fitting manufacturer and code requirements.
