Viega 15453 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Viega 15453 ProPress reducing tee connect?
The Viega 15453 is a copper press tee sized 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch x 1 inch. The run goes 1-1/2 to 1-1/4, and the branch drops to 1 inch, so it takes a smaller branch off a larger main without stacking separate reducers or couplings.
2) Are all three ends of the Viega 15453 tee press ends, or is one threaded or sweat?
All three ends are press. The connection type is P1 x P2 x P3, meaning press by press by press, so every outlet gets crimped with a ProPress jaw or ring. There is no threaded or solder end on this fitting, so if you need to land on a threaded valve or device you will need a separate press-by-FPT or press-by-MPT adapter.
3) Can I use the Viega 15453 press tee on copper tubing?
Yes. It is a copper-bodied ProPress fitting, made to be pressed onto copper tube at the 1-1/2, 1-1/4 and 1 inch outlets. Tube must be cut square, deburred, and marked to full insertion depth before pressing.
4) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 15453 tee and why does it matter on a job?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: if a joint gets missed during a system test, water passes at the seal so the installer can find it and press it. On a three-outlet fitting like this 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 x 1 tee, that matters more than on a coupling, because there are three joints to make and one is easy to skip on a crowded rack.
5) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 15453 tee in a tight ceiling or chase?
The fitting body measures 3.138 inches high, 2.122 inches long and 4.488 inches wide. Plan for clearance beyond that on every outlet for the press tool jaw to seat square on the collar, which is usually the real constraint in a joist bay or a chase, not the fitting itself.
6) What is the exact part number to order this Viega reducing press tee?
Viega part number 15453. Order by that number and you get the copper ProPress tee in 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 x 1. Viega's numbering changes with every size combination, so a tee with the same run but a different branch carries a different number entirely.
7) Where is the Viega 15453 ProPress tee made?
Germany. That is worth noting on institutional and government jobs where country of origin has to be documented on the submittal package.
8) How much does the Viega 15453 copper tee weigh for takeoff and hanger spacing?
0.815 lbs per fitting. Light enough that it adds little to a run, but on a horizontal 1-1/2 inch copper main a branch tee is still a point worth supporting near, since the 1 inch drop hangs load off the branch.
