Viega 20833 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Viega 20833 ProPress cap fit 2-1/2 inch copper tube?
Yes. The 20833 is a 2-1/2 inch ProPress cap made of copper, so it presses onto 2-1/2 inch nominal copper tube. It is a one-size fitting, model 20833, not a range.
2) Is the Viega 20833 cap a press fitting or does it need soldering?
It's a press fitting. The 20833 has a ProPress connection, so it is crimped onto the tube with a press tool and jaw sized for 2-1/2 inch copper. No torch, flux, or solder, which is why it gets used for caps on live or occupied-building work where open flame is a problem.
3) What does Smart Connect technology do on a Viega ProPress cap?
Smart Connect is the feature on the 20833 cap that lets an unpressed joint leak visibly during pressure testing, so an installer can find a connection that was missed before the system is put into service. On a dead-end cap that matters more than usual, since there is no flow past it to reveal the fault later.
4) Can I use a copper ProPress cap on a stainless or carbon steel line?
No. The 20833 is a copper-body ProPress fitting and belongs on copper tube systems. Stainless and carbon steel press systems use their own fitting bodies and sealing elements, so match the cap material to the piping material.
5) Is a press cap suitable for capping off a branch permanently, or just for testing?
A ProPress cap like the 20833 is a permanent dead-end. Once pressed, the joint is not meant to be taken apart, so use it where a branch or riser is being abandoned or terminated. If you need to reopen the line later, leave a valve or a threaded plug instead of pressing a cap on.
6) What is the Viega part number and weight for the 2-1/2 inch ProPress copper cap?
Order it as Viega 20833. It weighs 0.738 lbs, which matters if you are pulling a count of them for a multi-unit retrofit and figuring material loads.
7) Where is the Viega 20833 ProPress cap made?
Germany. Country of origin is listed as Made In Germany, which is the detail institutional and government buyers usually need for procurement paperwork.
