Viega 20883 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What connections does the Viega 20883 ProPress tee have on each outlet?
The 20883 is a P1 x P2 x FPT tee: two press ends for copper tube plus one female pipe thread branch. So the run gets pressed and the branch takes a male-threaded fitting, no soldering and no threading on the run.
2) What pipe sizes does the Viega 20883 ProPress copper tee reduce to?
The 20883 runs 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch with a 3/4 inch branch. It is a reducing tee, so you keep a full 2-1/2 inch main and tap off 3/4 inch for a riser, a drop, or a gauge or drain assembly on the threaded side.
3) Do I press a 2-1/2 inch ProPress fitting with standard jaws?
No. At 2-1/2 inch the 20883 is outside the range of standard press jaws; large-diameter copper presses with a press ring and an actuator rather than a jaw set. The 3/4 inch branch is threaded, so nothing is pressed on that side at all.
4) Can I use the Viega 20883 ProPress tee to take a 3/4 inch threaded branch off a 2-1/2 inch copper main?
That is exactly what it is for. Both 2-1/2 inch ends press onto copper tube and the 3/4 inch outlet is FPT, so a male-threaded valve, sensor tapping, or steel nipple lands straight in the branch with no extra adapter.
5) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 20883 and why does it matter on a big job?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed joint leaks visibly under test pressure so you find it during pressurization instead of after the walls close. On a run with a lot of 2-1/2 inch joints, that is the difference between a callback and a punch list item.
6) Where is the Viega 20883 ProPress fitting made?
Germany. For agencies and institutions running domestic-preference or country-of-origin documentation on a bid, the 20883 is German-manufactured and should be declared that way on submittals.
