Viega 20693 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Viega 20693 ProPress tee the same size on all three outlets?
Yes, the 20693 is an equal tee at 3 inch x 3 inch x 3 inch, so the run and the branch are all the same size. If you need to step the branch down, you want a reducing ProPress tee instead, not this one.
2) Does the Viega 20693 tee press onto 3 inch copper tube or does it need threads or solder?
It is a press fitting. All three ends are ProPress press connections (P1 x P2 x P3), so they go onto 3 inch copper tube and get crimped with a press tool and the matching 3 inch jaw or ring and actuator. No threading, no soldering, no open flame.
3) What does Smart Connect on this Viega ProPress tee actually do for me on the job?
Smart Connect is the feature built into the sealing element of the 20693 tee. An unpressed connection leaks a small amount deliberately during pressure test, so you find the joint you missed before the walls close up rather than after. It does not replace pressing every one of the three outlets.
4) Is the Viega 20693 tee copper or bronze bodied?
The body is copper, which is what you want on a copper potable or hydronic line to keep the system a single material and avoid mixing dissimilar metals at the branch.
5) Can I use this Viega press tee to branch off an existing 3 inch copper line without draining the whole building?
Pressing itself needs no flame, but the section you are cutting into has to be isolated and drained dry for the tube ends to be cleaned, deburred and marked for insertion depth. Once that short section is dry, the 20693 presses in cold, which is why it gets specified in occupied hospitals, hotels and plants where hot work permits are a problem.
6) What part number do I give my supplier for a Viega 3 inch copper ProPress equal tee?
Order Viega 20693. That is the manufacturer part number for the 3 inch x 3 inch x 3 inch copper ProPress tee with Smart Connect.
7) Is the Viega 20693 made in the USA or imported?
Made in Germany. If you are filling a Buy American or domestic-content line on a public job, that matters and this fitting will not satisfy it.
