Viega 20873 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega ProPress 20873 tee connect to?
The Viega 20873 ProPress tee is a 4 inch x 4 inch x 3/4 inch copper tee. The two 4 inch ends are press connections for 4 inch copper tube, and the 3/4 inch branch is a female pipe thread outlet.
2) Is the branch on the Viega 20873 tee a press connection or threaded?
Threaded. The connection configuration is P1 x P2 x FPT, so the run is press on both ends and the 3/4 inch branch is female NPT. That makes it the fitting to use when you need to land a threaded item, a gauge, a sensor, a drain valve or a small threaded takeoff, off a 4 inch copper main without adding a separate adapter.
3) I need a 3/4 inch press branch off my 4 inch main, not a threaded one. Is the 20873 the right tee?
No. The 20873 branch is female pipe thread, not a press socket. If you want a pressed 3/4 inch takeoff you need the 4 x 4 x 3/4 reducing press tee with a press branch instead. Use the 20873 only when the branch is landing on male threads.
4) What does Smart Connect technology do on the Viega 20873 tee?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed fitting leaks visibly during pressure testing so the installer can find it before the system is put in service. On a 4 inch main that is the difference between catching a missed joint at test and finding it above a finished ceiling.
5) Is the Viega 20873 tee copper or bronze, and will it work on a copper water main?
Copper. The 20873 is a copper press tee sized for 4 inch copper tube on the run, so it is at home in a copper domestic water or hydronic main with no dissimilar metal transition on the pressed ends. The 3/4 inch branch is threaded, so whatever you thread into it sets the metal at that point.
