Viega 22248 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size runs and branch does the Viega 22248 ProPress tee have?
The Viega 22248 is a reducing tee sized 1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch x 1-1/4 inch. Both run ends take 1-1/4 inch copper tube and the branch outlet takes 3/4 inch, so you can pull a 3/4 inch branch (fixture group, riser, hose bibb feed) off a 1-1/4 inch main without adding a bushing or a reducer coupling at the tee.
2) Is the Viega 22248 tee copper or bronze, and what tube does it press onto?
It's a copper-body fitting, so it presses onto copper tube and keeps the system all-copper through the joint. Nothing is threaded or soldered here, all three ends are press connections.
3) Do I need to solder the Viega 22248, or is it a press-only fitting?
Press only. All three ends on the 22248 are ProPress sockets (P1 x P2 x P3), joined with a press tool and the correct jaw or ring for each size. On this tee that means a 1-1/4 inch jaw for the two run ends and a 3/4 inch jaw for the branch, so plan on having both on the truck before you cut the main open. No torch, no flux, no cooldown time.
4) What does Smart Connect on the Viega 22248 actually do for me on the job?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that makes an unpressed joint leak when the system is charged, so a connection you missed shows itself during pressure test instead of after the walls close. On a 1-1/4 inch main with a 3/4 inch branch that's three separate presses at one fitting, which is exactly where a crimp gets skipped, so it's worth walking the fitting before you sign off.
5) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 22248 ProPress tee between other fittings?
The 22248 measures 4.496 inches wide, 2.654 inches high and 1.76 inches long. Use the 4.496 inch figure as your run-end to run-end envelope when you're laying out a tight rack or a joist bay, and remember you also need clearance around the fitting for the press jaw to close square on each socket, which is usually the real constraint rather than the fitting body.
6) Which way does the 3/4 inch branch face on the Viega 22248 tee, and does orientation matter?
The 3/4 inch outlet is the middle port, with the two 1-1/4 inch ends forming the straight run. A press tee has no handing or flow direction, so you can rotate the branch up, down, or sideways to suit the takeoff. Set that rotation before you press, though, because once the jaw closes on a ProPress socket the joint is permanent and the fitting has to be cut out to change it.
7) Where is the Viega 22248 ProPress fitting made?
Germany. That matters on public and institutional jobs where country of origin has to be documented in the submittal package, so the 22248 can be declared as German-made copper press fitting rather than left blank on the form.
