Control the flow of potable water with the Viega ProPress ball valve. Full port brass ball valve includes press connection, EPDM sealing elements, chrome-plated brass ball, and non-lockable metal handle. Press connections make installing this ball valve quick and efficient. Unlike traditional pipe fittings, there's no need for calibration, flame or heavy equipment. Instead, Viega ProPress ball valves install in just four easy steps: cut the copper tube to length, remove any burrs and surface imperfections, measure and mark the fitting insertion depth, and use a press tool to connect the Viega ProPress ball valve for a secure connection. Smart Connect technology identifies unpressed connections during pressure testing to ensure proper connections the first time and eliminate callbacks. Approved to the most codes and standards of any other copper press fitting system (IPC, UPC and NSF included), and with more than 4 different fitting configurations to suit virtually any type of plumbing or HVAC job, Viega ProPress fittings are the top choice of professionals around the globe.
