Viega 15458 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega 15458 ProPress tee connect?
The Viega 15458 is a reducing copper press tee sized 1-1/2 inch x 1 inch x 1 inch. The run takes 1-1/2 inch copper tube on one end and 1 inch on the other, with a 1 inch branch off the side. All three ends are press connections, so it goes onto plain copper tube with a press tool and jaws sized to each end, no solder.
2) Is the Viega 15458 tee a straight tee or a reducing tee?
It reduces. Two ways at once, in fact: the run steps from 1-1/2 inch down to 1 inch, and the branch is also 1 inch. If you need a full 1-1/2 inch run with a 1 inch takeoff, this is the wrong fitting, you want a 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1 tee instead. Use the 15458 where a 1-1/2 inch main drops to 1 inch past the branch point.
3) What does Smart Connect do on this Viega tee?
Smart Connect is the feature that makes an unpressed joint leak on purpose during test, so you find the connection you missed before the walls close. It is built into the 15458 ProPress tee. It does not replace pressing, it just makes a skipped press obvious when the system is charged.
4) Will the Viega 15458 press onto type L or type M copper tube?
Press fittings of this type go onto standard hard copper water tube, sized by nominal tube size, so a 1-1/2 inch end presses 1-1/2 inch copper and the 1 inch ends press 1 inch copper. The tube has to be cut square, deburred, and marked to full insertion depth before pressing. The fitting itself is copper, so there is no dissimilar metal concern in a copper system.
5) What is the exact part number and origin for this Viega reducing press tee?
Manufacturer part number 15458, Viega ProPress, made in Germany. If you are matching a submittal or standardizing a stockroom on Viega copper press, order by that number, the size call-out alone (1-1/2 x 1 x 1) is not enough to distinguish copper ProPress from the stainless or bronze lines.
