2" Bronze Spring Check Valve

The Viega 79060 is a 2-inch inline spring check valve constructed from low-lead bronze with press-to-press connections. It uses an EPDM seal and a stainless steel spring to control flow direction in plumbing systems. The valve handles water pressures up to 200 psi at 200°F and operates in both horizontal and vertical orientations. It is supplied new for professional and residential installations.

Suited for Press-Fit Bronze Systems

This valve fits installations requiring a 2-inch press connection with a low cracking pressure of .5 psi and bronze body material. It is not suitable for steam service, as the specifications list no steam pressure rating. Builders needing a full-flow design or a different connection method such as threaded or solder ends should select an alternative model. The fixed .5 psi cracking pressure also limits use in systems requiring adjustable or higher resistance.

Verify Press Tool and Pipe Compatibility

Before ordering, confirm that your press tool and jaw set are approved for 2-inch bronze press fittings. Ensure the system piping matches the 2-inch press connection size and that the operating temperature stays within the 0°F to 200°F range. Check that the fluid media is compatible with EPDM seals and that the maximum water pressure does not exceed 200 psi at the design temperature.

Questions about this item

What pipe size and connection type must my existing copper tubing have to press onto this 79060 valve?

The valve accepts 2 in tubing with press connections on both ends, so your copper pipe must be 2 in and compatible with press fittings.

Will the .5 psi cracking pressure allow gravity drainage from my older low-head tank without a pump?

Yes, the spring opens at only .5 psi, which is low enough for typical gravity-fed systems to overcome without additional pumping.

How can I confirm the EPDM seal is holding after I press the valve into the line?

Pressurise the line up to 200 psi at 200 °F and watch for leaks at the press joints; no leakage means the seal is seated correctly.
