Viega 20808 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size branch does the Viega 20808 ProPress tee take?
The Viega 20808 is a reducing tee: 4 inch on both run ends and 1-1/2 inch on the branch. So you run 4 inch copper straight through and pull a 1-1/2 inch takeoff, typical for a branch line or riser off a main.
2) Is the Viega 20808 tee press fit or does it need soldering?
It is a press fitting. All three ends are ProPress connections (P1 x P2 x P3), so each joint is made with a press tool and jaw or ring sized for that end. No torch, no flux, no solder.
3) What pipe does the Viega 20808 ProPress tee connect to?
Copper tube. The fitting body is copper and all three ends are press connections, so it goes on 4 inch copper for the run and 1-1/2 inch copper on the branch. It is not a fitting for steel, PEX, or CPVC.
4) What does Smart Connect technology do on a Viega press tee?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-joint feature. On a pressure test, a connection that has not been pressed leaks visibly at that end so you find it before the wall closes up. On the 20808 that means all three ports, including the 1-1/2 inch branch, are checkable the same way.
5) Do I need a large-diameter press tool for the 4 inch ends of this Viega tee?
Yes. The 4 inch run ends are outside the range of standard compact press jaws, so they take a full-size press tool with the XL rings and actuator for 4 inch copper. The 1-1/2 inch branch presses with the corresponding 1-1/2 inch ring. Plan for two different ring sizes on one fitting.
6) Does the Viega 20808 tee come with sealing elements installed?
The press ends are factory assembled with the sealing element in place, so nothing is ordered separately to make the joint. What you do supply is the press tool, the correct rings or jaws for 4 inch and 1-1/2 inch, and clean, deburred, properly marked tube ends.
7) Is the Viega 20808 made in the USA?
No, the 20808 ProPress copper tee is made in Germany. Worth knowing if you are working a job with domestic-origin requirements on the submittal.
8) What part number do I order for a 4 x 4 x 1-1/2 ProPress copper tee?
Viega part number 20808. That is the manufacturer number to put on a purchase order or submittal for the 4 inch by 4 inch by 1-1/2 inch copper ProPress tee.
