Viega 22243 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Viega ProPress tee 22243 reduce to?
The Viega 22243 is a reducing tee sized 1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch. The run takes 1-1/4 inch on one end and 3/4 inch on the other, with a 1/2 inch branch, so you can drop a half-inch takeoff off a line that is also stepping down in size.
2) Does the Viega 22243 tee have press ends on all three ports, or is one threaded or sweat?
All three ports are press connections. The connection type is listed as P1 x P2 x P3, meaning every outlet is a ProPress socket, so the fitting gets pressed with a press tool and jaws sized to each port. There is no threaded or solder end on it.
3) Is the Viega 22243 ProPress tee copper or bronze, and what pipe does it go on?
It is a copper-bodied press tee, so it is made for copper tubing in the matching 1-1/4, 3/4, and 1/2 inch sizes. Copper press fittings are not for use on steel or PEX; those take a different fitting body.
4) What does Smart Connect technology do on a Viega press tee?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: if a joint is left unpressed during a pressure test, the fitting leaks on purpose so the installer finds it before the walls close up. It is built into the 22243 tee at every port, which is useful on a three-port fitting where one branch is easy to miss.
5) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 22243 tee in a tight bay?
The 22243 measures 3.705 inches wide, 2.437 inches high, and 1.76 inches long, and it weighs 0.467 lbs. Allow for that plus press jaw clearance around each of the three ports when you are laying it out between studs or over a ceiling grid.
6) Which part number do I order for the 1-1/4 x 3/4 x 1/2 Viega copper press tee?
Order Viega part number 22243. That is the manufacturer number for the copper ProPress reducing tee in 1-1/4 x 3/4 x 1/2, and it is made in Germany.
