Viega 20703 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Viega 20703 ProPress tee connect?
The Viega 20703 is a reducing copper press tee sized 3 inch x 3 inch x 2-1/2 inch. The run is 3 inch on both ends and the branch reduces to 2-1/2 inch, so you can pull a 2-1/2 inch branch off a 3 inch main without adding a separate reducer at the outlet.
2) Do all three outlets on the Viega 20703 tee take press connections, or is one threaded or sweat?
All three are press. The connection type is P1 x P2 x P3, meaning press on the run and press on the branch, so the fitting goes on with a press tool and jaws (3 inch and 2-1/2 inch copper press rings or jaws). There is no soldering or threading anywhere on this tee.
3) Is the Viega 20703 press tee copper or bronze?
Copper. The 20703 is a wrought copper press tee, so it is for copper tube systems and matches the base metal of the pipe it joins, which keeps you out of dissimilar metal issues on a potable or hydronic copper line.
4) What does the Smart Connect feature on the Viega 20703 tee actually do for me on site?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection indicator. On a 3 x 3 x 2-1/2 tee with three joints to make, it is the feature that tells you if one got missed: an unpressed joint leaks visibly during pressure testing rather than passing the test and failing later behind a wall. Worth pressure testing the whole branch before close-in so the indication has a chance to show.
5) I need a 3 inch branch, not 2-1/2 inch. Can I use the 20703 and bush it up?
No. The 20703 branch is fixed at 2-1/2 inch press, and press outlets cannot be bushed up to a larger size. For a full-size 3 x 3 x 3 branch you need the straight 3 inch ProPress tee instead. Going the other way, down from 2-1/2 inch, is fine using a press reducer at the branch.
6) What part number should I put on the order for a Viega 3 x 3 x 2-1/2 copper press tee?
Order Viega model 20703. That is the manufacturer part number for the copper ProPress tee in 3 inch x 3 inch x 2-1/2 inch, and it is a single configuration, so there are no finish or connection options to specify with it.
7) Is a 3 inch copper press tee heavy enough that I need to support it separately?
The bare 20703 tee weighs 2.903 lbs, and once it is carrying 3 inch copper on the run plus a 2-1/2 inch branch full of water, the load at the fitting adds up quickly. Hang the run close to both sides of the tee and support the branch rather than letting the fitting carry it, especially on overhead work.
8) Where is the Viega 20703 ProPress tee made?
Made in Germany. That matters on public and institutional jobs where country of origin gets recorded on the submittal, so you can put it on the approval package without chasing the manufacturer for a letter.
