Viega 20688 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Viega ProPress 20688 copper tee connect?
The Viega 20688 is a reducing press tee sized 2-1/2 inch x 2-1/2 inch x 2 inch. The run is 2-1/2 inch on both ends and the branch drops to 2 inch, so it takes a 2 inch branch off a 2-1/2 inch main without a separate reducer or bushing.
2) Are all three ends of the Viega 20688 tee press connections, or is one threaded or sweat?
All three are press ends. The connection type is listed P1 x P2 x P3, meaning press by press by press, so every outlet gets crimped with a press tool and jaw. There is no threaded or solder end on this fitting, so if you need to transition to threads you will need a separate press by FPT or MPT adapter.
3) What pipe material does the Viega 20688 ProPress tee press onto?
It is a copper fitting, made for pressing onto copper tube. Copper press fittings are not interchangeable with stainless or carbon steel press systems, so keep the material consistent through the run.
4) What is Smart Connect on this Viega press tee and why does it matter on a large 2-1/2 inch main?
Smart Connect is the feature that makes an unpressed joint leak during pressure testing rather than hide until the building is occupied. On a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 2 inch tee you are making three separate presses on one fitting, which is exactly where a missed crimp happens, so it lets you find it at test.
5) Do I need a full size 2-1/2 inch tee and a bushing instead of this reducing tee?
No. Because the branch on the 20688 is already 2 inch while the run stays 2-1/2 inch, the reduction is built into the fitting. Adding a separate reducer would put another press joint in the line and lengthen the assembly. Use a straight 2-1/2 inch tee only if your branch is also 2-1/2 inch.
