Viega 15508 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Viega 15508 ProPress tee connect?
The Viega 15508 is a reducing copper press tee sized 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch. The two run ends take 2 inch and 1-1/2 inch copper tube, and the branch takes 1-1/4 inch. All three are press connections, so the run is not a straight 2 inch pass-through, it steps down to 1-1/2 inch on the second run end.
2) Does the Viega 15508 need soldering, or can I press it?
It presses. The 15508 is a ProPress fitting with Smart Connect technology, so each of the three ends is made up with a press tool and jaw rather than a torch. No open flame, which is what gets these used in occupied buildings and retrofits where hot work permits are a problem.
3) Can I use the Viega 15508 tee on PEX or on steel pipe?
No. The 15508 is a copper ProPress fitting with press ends sized for copper tube. PEX needs a PureFlow-style fitting and steel needs MegaPress, both of which use different sealing elements and jaws. Using this on anything other than copper tube of the stated sizes will not seal.
4) I need a 2 inch branch off a 2 inch main, is 15508 the right tee?
No. The 15508 reduces on both the second run end and the branch: 2 inch in, 1-1/2 inch out, with a 1-1/4 inch branch. If you need to carry 2 inch through the run or take a full 2 inch branch, order the tee sized for that combination instead. Reading the size left to right as run, run, branch is how these are called out.
5) Is the Viega 15508 press tee copper or bronze?
Copper. The 15508 is a wrought copper ProPress fitting, so it is meant for copper tube systems and matches the base metal of the pipe it presses onto. It is manufactured in Germany.
6) What does Smart Connect on this Viega tee actually do on the job?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature. On a 15508 tee, if one of the three ends gets missed during pressing, that joint leaks visibly during pressure test instead of passing and failing later behind a wall. On a three-end reducing tee that matters, because it is easy to press the 2 inch run and the 1-1/4 inch branch and walk away from the 1-1/2 inch end.
7) What is the Viega part number and weight for this reducing press tee?
Order it as Viega 15508. It weighs 1.176 lbs, which is worth knowing if you are staging a large fitting takeoff or hanging the assembly off overhead support.
