Stub Out Options
The Viega PureFlow system includes
ttings to accommodate most plumbing
needs. Stub outs are available for a
variety of xture situations, as well as
ttings and valves to connect to other
plumbing materials and xtures.
Standard stub outs with 90° bends and a
closed end to facilitate pressure testing are
available in either ⅜" or ½" PEX x ½" copper.
Also, PureFlow Press copper tub
elbow and PureFlow Crimp shower
valve adapters are available for easy
connections to tub and shower valves.
Drop-ear elbows provide a ½" or ¾"
F NPT threaded connection at a wall or
oor penetration as well as a ange for
securing the tting.

PureFlow PEX tubing to be directly stubbed
out of a wall. These supports allow the
tubing to make the tight bend necessary
to exit the wall at a 90° angle as well as
providing a ange for securing the support.
