Viega 20798 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size outlets does the Viega 20798 ProPress tee have?
It's a reducing tee: 3 inch on both run ends and 1-1/2 inch on the branch, so you run 3 inch main line straight through and take a 1-1/2 inch branch off the side. All three ends are press connections (P x P x P), not threaded or sweat.
2) Is the Viega 20798 tee copper or bronze?
Copper. It's a ProPress copper fitting, so it belongs on copper tube systems, and it's made in Germany.
3) What does Smart Connect mean on this Viega tee, and does it help me at inspection?
Smart Connect is a feature of the sealing element that lets an unpressed joint leak visibly during pressure testing, so you find the missed connection while testing rather than after the wall is closed. On a 3 inch main with a 1-1/2 inch branch you have three separate presses on one fitting, which is exactly where one gets skipped.
4) What is the Viega part number for the 3 x 3 x 1-1/2 ProPress copper tee?
Order Viega 20798. That model number covers the 3 inch x 3 inch x 1-1/2 inch copper ProPress tee, and its UPC is 691514207988.
5) Will the Viega 20798 press onto 3 inch nominal type L copper tube?
It's sized to 3 inch nominal copper tube on the run and 1-1/2 inch nominal on the branch, and it's a copper-body ProPress fitting, so it presses onto hard-drawn copper tube at those nominal sizes. Confirm the tube is round and undamaged at the press zone; a dented or out-of-round 3 inch end is the usual cause of a bad large-diameter press.
6) Can I use the Viega 20798 to branch off a 3 inch line without shutting down and draining the whole system?
You still have to isolate and drain the section you're cutting into, same as any fitting. What press buys you is the rest: no torch, no flame permit, and no need for the pipe to be bone dry to make the joint, which is why this style of tee gets used for retrofit branch takeoffs in occupied buildings.
