Viega VIEGUCFIP12 Propress 79700 Lead Free Bronze Pipe Union 1/2 Inch Press X Fnpt

Product Description

The Viega VIEGUCFIP12 is a lead free bronze pipe union designed for professional plumbing installations where a reliable, removable connection is needed between sections of pipe. This fitting is part of the Viega ProPress 79700 series and features a press by female NPT end style, making it a versatile choice for connecting press systems to threaded components. The press end allows a tool-actuated, solder-free connection to copper or compatible pipe, while the female NPT end threads directly onto standard pipe fittings and valves. This combination is common in commercial and residential plumbing systems where mixed connection types are used. The union design allows the joint to be disassembled without cutting pipe, which is valuable during repairs, maintenance, and system upgrades. Plumbers and pipefitters often rely on union fittings in mechanical rooms, boiler connections, and equipment drop legs where future serviceability is a priority. The fitting is rated for up to 200 psi working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for hot and cold water supply, hydronic heating, and similar applications. At 2.27 inches in length, it fits in tight spaces without adding excessive run length to the pipe layout. The lead free bronze construction meets current health and safety standards for potable water systems and provides strong corrosion resistance in both wet and dry environments. Viega ProPress fittings are widely used by licensed plumbers, mechanical contractors, and facilities maintenance professionals who need fast, dependable connections. The press end eliminates open flame on the job site, reducing fire risk and speeding up installation compared to traditional solder methods. This fitting is compatible with standard press tooling used by major tool brands in the field.
