Viega 22293 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Viega 22293 ProPress tee connect?
The Viega 22293 is a reducing tee sized 2-1/2 inch x 2-1/2 inch x 1 inch. The run stays at 2-1/2 inch on both ends and the branch outlet drops to 1 inch, so you can tap a 1 inch takeoff off a 2-1/2 inch copper main without a separate bushing or reducer at the branch.
2) Will two different press jaw sizes be needed to install a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1 press tee?
Yes. The run ends are 2-1/2 inch and the branch is 1 inch, so you need jaws or rings for both sizes. On this catalogue 2-1/2 inch is in the large-diameter range that generally uses a press ring and actuator rather than a standard jaw, while the 1 inch branch presses with a common jaw. Plan the tool kit for both before the crew is on the lift.
3) Can I use the Viega 22293 ProPress tee on copper tube, or is it for stainless or carbon steel systems?
It is a copper fitting, made for copper tubing systems. Stainless and carbon steel press lines use their own fitting material and sealing element, so match the 22293 to copper pipe only.
4) What does Smart Connect technology do on this Viega press tee?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature built into the sealing element of the 22293 ProPress tee. On a pressure test, any connection left unpressed leaks visibly so the installer finds it before the wall closes up. It does not change how the fitting is pressed, only how a missed joint shows itself.
5) Should I use a press tee like the Viega 22293 or a soldered copper tee on a 2-1/2 inch main?
A press tee is the choice when you cannot run flame, which covers occupied buildings, ceiling work over finished space, and any repair where the line cannot be fully drained and dried. Soldering a 2-1/2 inch branch takes heat, dry pipe, and a hot-work permit in most commercial settings. The 22293 makes the same 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1 connection cold, in seconds per joint, with the tradeoff that you need the correct press tool and rings on hand.
6) What part number and manufacturer should I specify for a Viega 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1 copper press tee?
Specify Viega ProPress part number 22293, UPC 691514222936. It is made in Germany. That number covers the copper reducing tee in 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1 with press ends throughout.
