Viega 20718 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Viega 20718 ProPress tee connect?
The Viega 20718 is a reducing press tee sized 4 inch x 4 inch x 2-1/2 inch. The run is 4 inch on both ends and the branch outlet reduces to 2-1/2 inch, so it drops a 2-1/2 inch takeoff off a 4 inch copper main without a separate reducer or bushing.
2) Is the Viega 20718 tee copper or bronze, and what pipe does it press onto?
It is a copper fitting, made to press onto hard-drawn copper tube at all three outlets. All three ends are press connections (P1 x P2 x P3), so there is no soldering, threading or grooving on this fitting.
3) How much clearance do I need to fit the Viega 20718 tee in a chase or above a ceiling?
Plan for the fitting envelope first: it measures 8.504 inches wide, 6.685 inches high and 4.681 inches long. On top of that you need swing room for the press ring and actuator at each of the three outlets, which is the real constraint in a tight chase. Lay it out before you cut the 4 inch main.
4) What does Smart Connect technology do on a Viega ProPress tee?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: if a joint on the 20718 tee gets missed during install, it leaks visibly under test pressure so the installer finds it before the system is closed up. On a 4 inch riser with a 2-1/2 inch branch that matters, because a missed press behind drywall or above a hard ceiling is an expensive callback.
5) Can I use the Viega 20718 ProPress tee on a threaded or grooved copper system?
No. All three ends are press outlets, so the tee has to land on plain-end copper tube that is cut square, deburred and marked to depth. If your main is grooved or you need to break into threaded pipe, you need a press-by-thread or press-by-groove adapter ahead of this tee rather than the tee itself.
6) Where is the Viega 20718 tee manufactured?
Viega manufactures the 20718 in Germany. Submittal packages on institutional and federal work often ask for country of origin on plumbing fittings, so that is the line to carry through on the submittal.
