Viega VIEGBV12 Propress 79920 Ball Valve with Lock Metal Handle 1/2 Inch Press End Bronze Full Port Epdm

Product Description

The Viega VIEGBV12 is a ProPress 79920 ball valve designed for professional plumbing and mechanical systems. It features a 1/2 inch nominal size with a press end connection style, making it a fast and reliable choice for copper pipe installations. This valve is lead free, which meets modern plumbing codes and drinking water standards. The body is constructed from bronze, a material well known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and durability in wet environments. The ball inside is 316 stainless steel, which holds up well against a wide range of fluids and temperatures. The stem trim is brass, adding further reliability to the valve assembly. Softgoods are EPDM, which is compatible with water, steam, and many common plumbing fluids. The valve is rated for pressures up to 250 psi and temperatures from 0 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for both domestic water supply and light hydronic heating systems. The full port design means the ball opening matches the pipe bore, allowing maximum flow with minimal pressure drop. This is important in systems where flow efficiency matters. A lock metal handle is included, allowing the valve to be locked in the open or closed position to prevent accidental operation. The press end connection eliminates the need for soldering, threading, or gluing. A licensed plumber or pipefitter can press this valve in seconds using a standard ProPress tool, reducing labor time on the job site. This valve is commonly used in commercial and residential plumbing, hydronic systems, mechanical rooms, and anywhere a shutoff is needed on a half inch copper line. It is an imported product built to meet Viega quality standards. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors rely on press-fit ball valves like this one for fast, code-compliant installations.
