ProPress Adapter 3/4" x 1/2
The Viega 79225 ProPress adapter is a bronze straight fitting that joins 3/4 inch copper tube to 1/2 inch male NPT threads. It uses a press-fit connection on the copper side and includes an EPDM O-ring for a secure seal. The fitting measures 1 15/16 inches overall and is rated for potable water systems. It meets ASTM B75 and ASTM B88 standards for material quality.
Installers needing press-to-thread transitions
This adapter suits plumbers who want a flameless, solder-free joint between copper tubing and threaded pipe or equipment. It is not for installers who require a female threaded outlet, a reducing elbow, or a fitting compatible with press tools from other manufacturers. Buyers needing larger diameter connections or different thread combinations must select another model.
Fits copper systems up to 200 psi and 250°F
The bronze body and EPDM seal handle the stated pressure and temperature limits in hot and cold potable water lines. A compatible ProPress tool is required to complete the press-fit end; no torch, flux, or solder is needed. The straight shape keeps the run compact while freeing the installer from open-flame work in tight spaces.

Questions about this item
What press tool and jaw size are required to install the 3/4 in press connection on the Viega 79225 adapter?
A Viega ProPress tool with a 3/4 in jaw is required to form a secure press joint on the copper tube side of this bronze adapter.
Can the 1/2 in MNPT threads on the Viega 79225 adapter connect to existing 1/2 in copper pipe using a threaded adapter?
Yes, the 1/2 in MNPT threads accept standard 1/2 in female threaded fittings, allowing transition to existing copper or steel piping.
How can I verify the Viega 79225 adapter is leak-free after pressing and threading?
Pressurise the system up to 200 psi at up to 250 °F; a properly pressed joint and sealed threads will hold pressure without weeping.
