Viega 20768 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What do the FTG x P ends on the Viega 20768 ProPress reducer mean for how it installs?
The Viega 20768 is an FTG x P reducer: the 3 inch end is a fitting-end (FTG), sized to slip INTO a 3 inch ProPress fitting socket, while the 2-1/2 inch end is a press socket (P) that receives 2-1/2 inch copper tube. So it is not a tube-to-tube coupling on both sides. If you need to press onto 3 inch copper tube instead, you want a P x P reducer, not this one.
2) Is the Viega 20768 reducer copper or bronze, and can I run it on copper water lines?
It is a copper-bodied ProPress reducer, made for pressing to copper tube. Copper body to copper tube keeps the joint dissimilar-metal free on standard domestic water and hydronic copper systems.
3) Does the Viega 20768 press fitting need solder or a torch?
No flame, no solder. The 20768 is a ProPress reducer, joined with a press tool and the correct 3 inch and 2-1/2 inch jaw or ring set. That is the point of choosing press over sweat on large-diameter copper: no hot work permit, no draining the line dry enough to solder.
4) What does Smart Connect do on this Viega reducer?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature on the 20768. During pressure testing an unpressed joint leaks noticeably so the installer finds it before the wall closes, rather than after. It does not change the fitting's 3 inch by 2-1/2 inch sizing or its FTG x P ends.
5) Where is the Viega 20768 made?
Germany. For spec jobs and institutional submittals where country of origin has to be declared, the 20768 copper ProPress reducer is listed as made in Germany.
