Viega VPURT12 Pureflow Press Tee 1/2 Inch Polymer Potable Water Fitting

Product Description

The VIEGA VPURT12 is a PureFlow press tee fitting designed for residential and commercial plumbing systems. It uses a press-style end connection that allows plumbers and pipefitters to make secure, leak-free joints without open flame or soldering. This is a major advantage on job sites where torch work is restricted or where speed and safety are priorities. The 1/2 inch nominal size makes it one of the most common fittings used in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, and radiant floor systems. The fitting body is constructed from high-quality polymer that resists corrosion and scale buildup over time. Unlike copper or brass fittings, the polymer construction will not pit, corrode, or degrade in aggressive water conditions. This makes the VPURT12 a smart choice for installers working in areas with hard water or where water chemistry is a concern. The tee configuration allows a single supply line to branch off in two directions, which is essential when routing water to multiple fixtures or zones. At a rated working pressure of 160 psi, this fitting handles standard residential and light commercial water supply pressures with confidence. The temperature rating supports up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit for potable water applications and up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit for hydronic heating systems, giving it versatility across a wide range of installation types. The PureFlow system from VIEGA is engineered for compatibility with PEX tubing, making it a go-to choice for plumbers working on new construction or remodel projects where flexible tubing is the preferred pipe material. Press fittings in this system are tested to meet industry standards for safe drinking water contact, making the VPURT12 suitable for direct use in potable water systems without concern for leaching or contamination. VIEGA is a well-established name in the plumbing industry, trusted by professional plumbers and mechanical contractors for consistent quality and long-term reliability.

• Press-style end connection for fast, flame-free installation on PEX tubing systems
