Viega 20823 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What connections does the Viega 20823 ProPress adapter have on each end?
The Viega 20823 is a press-by-male-thread adapter: one end is a 2-1/2 inch ProPress copper socket, the other is 2-1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT). It takes you from pressed copper tube straight into a female-threaded valve, flange, pump port, or threaded steel line without sweating a joint.
2) Will the 2-1/2 inch Viega ProPress adapter fit 2-1/2 inch type L copper tube?
Yes. The press end is sized for 2-1/2 inch nominal copper tube, which is the same outside diameter across type K, L, and M. Cut square, deburr, mark insertion depth, and press with the 2-1/2 inch jaw or ring and actuator rated for large-diameter ProPress.
3) I need to connect 2-1/2 inch copper to a female threaded pump or valve. Is this the right fitting?
That is exactly what the 20823 does. Press onto the copper, thread the male end into the female port on the valve, pump, strainer, or gauge assembly. If the equipment port is male instead, you want the female-thread version of the ProPress adapter, not this one.
4) Is the Viega 20823 adapter copper or bronze?
Copper. The 20823 is a copper-body ProPress fitting, so it is intended for copper tube systems and keeps the run dissimilar-metal free up to the threaded end.
5) What does Smart Connect mean on this Viega press adapter, and do I still need to pressure test?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-joint feature: an unpressed connection leaks during test so it gets found before the wall closes up. It does not replace your pressure test on the 20823 or any other joint, it is what makes the test tell you something useful.
6) Where is the Viega 20823 adapter made?
Germany. Useful if you are filing submittals or country-of-origin documentation on an institutional or government job.
