Viega 85132 3-piece Ball Valve 1/2 in Press 316 Ss

Product Description

The VIEGA 85132 is a 3-piece full-port ball valve designed for use with press-fit pipe joining systems. Built on the ProPress platform, this valve features a 316 stainless steel body and FKM softgoods, making it well suited for demanding fluid-handling applications. The press end-style connections eliminate open-flame soldering, allowing licensed plumbers and pipefitters to make secure, leak-tested joints with a standard press tool. Rated to 200 psi and a temperature range of 0 to 250 degrees F, this valve delivers reliable shut-off performance across a wide range of service conditions.

This valve is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where press-fit connections are specified. The 1/2 inch size suits branch lines, fixture supply connections, and hydronic distribution applications. The 3-piece body design allows in-line serviceability without cutting out the valve body, which reduces downtime during maintenance. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers working to applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated press tool compatible with the ProPress jaw and ring system for 1/2 inch connections. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and verify the line is dry before pressing. Inspect the press indicator window after each connection to confirm a complete press. All work should comply with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements and be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter.
