Bronze Crimp Adapter FTG 1/2 FNPT 1/2

The Viega 79430 is a straight crimp adapter fitting designed for potable water systems. It connects a 1/2 inch copper tube (FTG) to a 1/2 inch FNPT threaded pipe. The bronze body and EPDM O-ring handle a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi and a maximum operating temperature of 250 degrees F.

Installation and common issues

The fitting uses a crimp connection on the copper side and standard FNPT threads on the other. A calibrated crimp tool and correct copper tubing are required for a watertight seal. Over-crimping or using damaged tubing can cause leaks. Thread sealant must be compatible with bronze and EPDM to avoid O-ring degradation.

Pre-installation checks

Verify that the existing copper tubing is 1/2 inch CTS and suitable for crimp fittings. Confirm the mating threaded component is 1/2 inch FNPT. Ensure the system pressure will not exceed 200 psi and temperature will not exceed 250 degrees F. Check local codes for any restrictions on bronze fittings in potable water applications.
