Viega 22253 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size branch does the Viega 22253 ProPress tee reduce to?
The Viega 22253 is a reducing tee sized 1-1/4 inch x 1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch. The run stays full 1-1/4 inch on both ends and the branch drops to 1/2 inch, so you can tap a 1/2 inch takeoff (fixture drop, hose bibb, gauge or small riser) off a 1-1/4 inch main without adding a bushing.
2) Are all three ends of the Viega 22253 tee press ends, or is one threaded?
All three outlets are press. The connection type is P1 x P2 x P3, meaning press on the run ends and press on the 1/2 inch branch. No soldering, threading or flux involved; you need a press tool with jaws for 1-1/4 inch and 1/2 inch copper.
3) What pipe does a Viega ProPress copper tee press onto?
It is a copper fitting made for copper tube. Press the 1-1/4 inch ends onto 1-1/4 inch copper tube and the branch onto 1/2 inch copper tube. It is not a fitting for steel, PEX or CPVC.
4) What does Smart Connect do if I forget to press a joint?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-joint feature: an unpressed fitting leaks visibly during pressure test so it gets found on the jobsite rather than inside a finished wall. On a 1-1/4 inch x 1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch tee with three separate press joints, that matters, since the small branch is the one most often missed.
5) Do I need to buy sealing elements or anything else with this ProPress tee?
The tee ships with its press sealing elements already in the three cups; nothing extra to order to make the joint. What you do need on site is a press tool and jaws in both 1-1/4 inch and 1/2 inch, plus properly cut, deburred and marked tube.
6) Is the Viega 22253 the right part number to order, and where is it made?
Order it as Viega part 22253, a copper ProPress reducing tee, 1-1/4 inch x 1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch. It is made in Germany. For distributors keeping a line straight: the branch size is what separates it from the other 1-1/4 inch run tees in the series.
