Viega 22258 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Viega 22258 ProPress tee connect?
The Viega 22258 is a reducing copper press tee sized 1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch. The run is 1-1/4 inch and both the second run end and the branch are 3/4 inch, so it steps a 1-1/4 inch copper main down to 3/4 inch while taking a 3/4 inch branch off the same fitting. All three ends are press connections, designated P1 x P2 x P3.
2) Will a Viega ProPress tee work on hard-drawn copper tube, and which types?
It presses onto rigid copper tube in the nominal sizes marked on the fitting, 1-1/4 inch and 3/4 inch. ProPress copper fittings are made for copper water tube, Types K, L and M, and the tube end has to be cut square, deburred and free of scratches in the seal area or the O-ring will not seat. The 22258 body itself is copper, so it is a like-metal joint with no dielectric concern on a copper system.
3) I need a 1-1/4 inch main with a 3/4 inch takeoff but the main stays 1-1/4 inch downstream. Is Viega 22258 the right tee?
No. Model 22258 reduces the run as well as the branch, 1-1/4 x 3/4 x 3/4, so the tube leaving the second run end is 3/4 inch. If the 1-1/4 inch main has to continue full size past the takeoff, you want a tee with 1-1/4 inch on both run ends and 3/4 inch on the branch instead. Using 22258 there would choke the main.
4) What does Smart Connect mean on a Viega press fitting, and why does it matter during pressure testing?
Smart Connect is a feature of the sealing element that lets an unpressed joint leak intentionally when the system is pressure tested, so an installer finds the missed connection on the test instead of after the walls are closed. On a reducing tee like the 22258 that is useful, because the fitting has three separate presses in different jaw sizes and the odd one out is the easiest to skip.
5) How much clearance do I need to fit the 1-1/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 ProPress tee in a joist bay or chase?
The fitting measures 3.996 inches across, 2.646 inches high and 1.76 inches in the third dimension, and it weighs 0.514 lbs. Plan the rough-in around the press tool, not the fitting: the jaw body needs room to swing around the tube on all three ends, which is normally more space than the tee itself occupies.
6) Can I use this copper ProPress tee on a hydronic heating or chilled water branch, or is it potable only?
It is a copper press tee for plumbing service, and a copper body with press ends is used on both potable copper lines and closed-loop copper hydronic piping. The sealing element determines the service, so match the fitting's seal to the medium and temperature on your system before committing a mechanical room to press.
