Viega 94520 Drop Ear Elbow 1/2 in Press X Fnpt Bronze

Product Description

The VIEGA 94520 is a 1/2 inch nominal drop ear elbow designed for PureFlow press-fit piping systems. It features a Press x FNPT end style, allowing one end to connect via press-fit technology and the other to accept a female NPT threaded fitting. Constructed from bronze, this elbow provides a wall-mounting point for supply lines, typically used to anchor a stub-out for fixtures such as faucets and showerheads. Plumbers working on residential and light commercial potable water systems rely on this fitting to terminate a run securely at a wall surface.

This drop ear elbow is used in PureFlow press-fit installations where a piping run must terminate at a wall-mounted outlet point. The ear flanges allow the fitting to be screwed directly to framing or blocking, keeping the outlet rigid and aligned during fixture connection. It is suited for residential new construction and remodel applications where press-fit copper or compatible tubing is specified. The FNPT port accepts standard 1/2 inch threaded supply nipples or valve bodies.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch nominal size fits standard PureFlow press-fit tubing
• Press x FNPT end configuration combines press-fit speed with threaded versatility
• Bronze construction offers corrosion resistance in potable water service
• Drop ear design provides integral mounting ears for attachment to wall framing or blocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use within the VIEGA PureFlow press-fit piping system in 1/2 inch nominal potable water applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber familiar with press-fit connection requirements and local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before pressing or threading any connections. The mounting ears should be fastened securely to solid backing or blocking to prevent movement when the fixture supply is tightened. Verify that the press tool and jaw set are approved for use with VIEGA PureFlow fittings before completing the press connection.
