Viega 20698 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size branch does the Viega 20698 ProPress tee reduce to?
The Viega 20698 is a reducing tee: 3 inch on both run ends and 2 inch on the branch, ordered as 3 x 3 x 2. Use it where a 3 inch copper main needs a 2 inch takeoff without adding a separate bushing or reducer coupling.
2) Is the Viega 20698 tee for copper pipe or for PEX?
Copper. The 20698 is a copper-bodied ProPress fitting with press connections on all three ports, made for pressing onto hard copper tube. It is not a PEX fitting and it is not for steel pipe.
3) Does this 3 inch ProPress tee need soldering, or is it a press fitting?
No flame or solder. All three ends are press ends (P1 x P2 x P3), so the joint is made with a press tool and the correct 3 inch and 2 inch jaws or rings. That is the reason contractors specify it on occupied buildings where hot work permits are a problem.
4) What does Smart Connect on the Viega 20698 actually do for me on the job?
Smart Connect is the feature that makes an unpressed connection show itself during pressure testing instead of after the walls close up. On a 3 x 3 x 2 tee with three separate press joints, that matters: you can verify every port was actually pressed before you sign off the line.
5) Which Viega part number do I order for a 3 inch by 2 inch copper press tee?
Order Viega 20698. That is the manufacturer part number for the ProPress copper reducing tee in 3 x 3 x 2, and it is made in Germany.
6) Do I need to buy sealing elements or gaskets separately for this tee?
No. ProPress copper fittings come with the sealing element already installed in each press socket, so the 20698 arrives ready to press on all three ports. What you supply is a deburred, clean, correctly marked copper tube and the press tool with 3 inch and 2 inch jaws or rings.
7) Can I use the 20698 tee on a 3 inch main that carries something other than water?
It is a plumbing-department copper press fitting, sold for copper tube systems. The sealing element determines which media a ProPress fitting is approved for, so match the tee's seal to the service you are running rather than assuming a potable-water fitting covers fuel gas or refrigerant. For gas work, Viega sells a separate gas-specific press line.
