Viega 22303 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Viega 22303 ProPress tee connect?
The Viega 22303 is a reducing tee sized 2-1/2 inch x 2-1/2 inch x 1/2 inch. The run is 2-1/2 inch on both ends and the branch drops to 1/2 inch, so you can take a small branch (gauge, drain, fill line, small fixture run) off a 2-1/2 inch copper main without stacking reducing couplings.
2) Do I need two different press tool jaws to install a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1/2 ProPress tee?
Yes, two setups. The 1/2 inch branch presses with a standard jaw, while the 2-1/2 inch run ends are in the large-diameter range that uses a press ring with an actuator rather than a single fixed jaw. Plan the tool kit for both before you cut the main, because the big end is the one crews most often arrive without.
3) What does Smart Connect technology on a Viega ProPress fitting actually do for me on the job?
Smart Connect is a feature of the sealing element that lets an unpressed connection leak a small amount during pressure testing. The point is detection: an unpressed joint shows itself at test instead of after the ceiling is closed. On a 2-1/2 inch main that is the difference between a five minute fix and a flooded occupied space.
4) Is the Viega 22303 the right part number if I need to order a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1/2 copper press tee?
Yes. Model and manufacturer part number are both 22303, a Viega ProPress copper tee at 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1/2. One configuration only, so there is no finish or end-option suffix to specify when you order it. It is made in Germany.
5) Can I use a reducing press tee like this instead of a tee plus a bushing on a copper main?
That is exactly what it saves you. A 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1/2 tee gives you the 1/2 inch branch in one fitting, so you press three joints instead of a full-size tee plus reducer stack with extra joints and extra inches of take-up. Fewer joints on a 2-1/2 inch main also means fewer places to miss a press.
