Viega 22283 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega 22283 ProPress tee connect?
The Viega 22283 is a reducing tee sized 2-1/2 inch x 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch, with press connections on all three ends (P1 x P2 x P3). Use it where a 2-1/2 inch copper run steps down to 2 inch and branches off at 1-1/2 inch. All three ports are press, so there is no soldering or threading on this fitting.
2) Will the Viega 22283 tee work on PEX or steel pipe?
No. This is a copper press tee built for copper tube. PEX takes a Viega PureFlow fitting, and carbon or stainless steel systems take MegaPress or ProPress stainless. Putting a copper ProPress fitting on anything other than copper tube is not a valid joint.
3) Is the Viega 22283 tee copper or bronze?
Copper. The 22283 ProPress tee is a copper-body fitting made in Germany, so it goes on copper tube systems rather than being a bronze transition fitting.
4) What does Smart Connect on a Viega ProPress fitting actually do for me on the job?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed fitting leaks visibly during pressure test, so you find the joint you missed before the walls close. On a 2-1/2 x 2 x 1-1/2 reducing tee with three separate press joints, that matters - it is three chances to skip a crimp on one fitting.
5) Do I need a different press tool for the 2-1/2 inch end of this tee than for the 1-1/2 inch branch?
Likely yes. The 22283 spans 2-1/2 inch, 2 inch and 1-1/2 inch ports, and on copper the larger diameters are pressed with rings driven by an actuator jaw while smaller sizes take standard jaws. Bring the jaw or ring for each of the three sizes to the opening, not just the run size.
6) Can I order the Viega 22283 as a single fitting, and what part number do I give my supplier?
Order it by Viega part number 22283, UPC 691514222837. It is a single configuration - one size combination, one material - so there is no finish or option to specify beyond the model number.
