Viega 97220 Ice Maker Outlet Box 1/2 Inch Press Pex

Product Description

The VIEGA 97220 is a PureFlow press-style outlet box designed for ice maker supply connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It accepts 1/2-inch PEX tubing via a press connection, eliminating the need for soldering or threaded fittings at the point of connection. The outlet box provides a clean, in-wall termination point that simplifies the final hookup of ice maker supply lines. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and plumbing contractors working on new construction or remodel projects where PEX distribution systems are in use.

The 97220 is suited for residential kitchen installations where a refrigerator with a built-in ice maker requires a dedicated water supply stub-out. The press-style connection is compatible with VIEGA PureFlow PEX press tooling and fittings. It is commonly rough-in during framing and provides a recessed, wall-mounted connection point that keeps supply lines concealed and accessible behind the refrigerator.

Key Features

• Press-style connection for 1/2-inch PEX tubing — no soldering or threading required
• Designed specifically for ice maker supply stub-out applications
• Recessed outlet box design for clean, in-wall installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press outlet box for use within 1/2-inch PEX plumbing distribution systems requiring a dedicated ice maker supply connection point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber following local plumbing codes and applicable IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making press connections. Press fittings require the correct VIEGA-compatible press jaw and tool — do not use mismatched tooling, as incomplete presses will not seal. Verify rough-in depth and wall thickness before securing the box to framing to ensure proper setback for the finished wall surface.
