Viega VIEG79045 1 Inch Propress Check Valve Lead Free Bronze Press Connection

Product Description

The Viega VIEG79045 is a 1 inch ProPress check valve designed for lead-free potable water applications. It is built from bronze and uses a press connection method, making it a fast and reliable choice for plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and commercial water systems. Check valves are one-way flow control devices. They allow water to move in one direction and automatically prevent backflow. This protects the system from reverse flow that can cause contamination, pressure loss, or equipment damage. The VIEG79045 uses EPDM sealing elements, which provide strong resistance to water, heat, and pressure over time. EPDM seals are well suited for cold and hot potable water systems. The press connection design is a major advantage on the job. There is no soldering, no open flame, and no flux required. A technician presses the fitting onto a copper pipe using a compatible press tool, and the joint is complete in seconds. This saves time on installations and reduces the risk of fire or heat damage near walls and framing. The inline configuration means the valve fits directly into a pipe run without requiring offsets or special fittings. This keeps the installation clean and straightforward. The bronze body is durable and corrosion resistant, a standard material choice for valves used in water distribution systems. Lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water systems in the United States, including NSF and Safe Drinking Water Act compliance expectations. HVAC and plumbing professionals trust Viega ProPress fittings for their speed, reliability, and broad compatibility with standard copper tubing.

• Lead-free bronze body meets potable water safety standards for residential and commercial use
• Press connection eliminates soldering and open flame, speeding up installation time significantly
• EPDM sealing elements provide long-term resistance to heat, pressure, and water exposure
