Viega 20803 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size outlets does the Viega 20803 ProPress tee have?
The Viega 20803 is a reducing tee sized 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch. The run is 2-1/2 inch on both ends and the branch drops to 1-1/2 inch, so you can take a smaller branch line off a 2-1/2 inch main without adding a separate bushing or reducer at the tee.
2) Are all three ends of the Viega 20803 tee press connections, or is one threaded?
All three ends are press. The connection type is listed as P1 x P2 x P3, meaning press on the 2-1/2 inch run ends and press on the 1-1/2 inch branch. There is no thread or solder cup anywhere on this fitting, so every joint gets made with a press tool and the correct jaw or ring for that size.
3) Can I use the Viega 20803 tee to branch a 2-1/2 inch main down to 1-1/2 inch, or do I need a full-size tee plus a reducer?
One fitting does it. The 20803 reduces at the branch itself, 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 by 1-1/2, so you skip the full-size tee and the reducing coupling that would otherwise follow it. That removes a joint from the run and shortens the assembly, which is worth something when you are working large-diameter copper in a ceiling.
4) What does Smart Connect do on this Viega ProPress tee?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature. On an unpressed joint the seal element lets water or air pass during pressure testing, so a fitting you forgot to crimp shows itself at test rather than after the wall is closed. On a 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 by 1-1/2 tee with three separate press joints, that matters: it is easy to press the run and skip the branch.
5) Do I need a different press tool for the 2-1/2 inch side of this Viega tee than for the 1-1/2 inch branch?
Yes, in practice. The 1-1/2 inch branch is within the range typically handled by standard press jaws, while 2-1/2 inch copper is a large-diameter size that gets pressed with a ring and actuator rather than a jaw. Plan on carrying both setups to make all three joints on this fitting.
6) What part number do I order for a 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 by 1-1/2 Viega copper press tee?
Viega part number 20803. It is the copper ProPress reducing tee in that size, press on all three ends.
7) Does the Viega 20803 tee come with the sealing element installed?
Viega ProPress fittings ship with the sealing element already seated in each press end, so the 20803 arrives ready to press on all three connections. Nothing separate to order to make the joint. Inspect each element before you press and keep the ends clean.
8) How heavy is the Viega 20803 tee for hanger and support spacing?
The fitting itself weighs 1.809 pounds. That is the fitting dry, not the water-filled assembly, so size supports for the filled 2-1/2 inch copper run around it as your code requires.
9) Where is the Viega 20803 ProPress tee manufactured?
Made in Germany. That matters to institutional and government buyers working under domestic-sourcing requirements on a project, so check it against your procurement spec before you submit.
