Viega 22328 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size copper pipe does the Viega 22328 ProPress reducer connect?
The Viega 22328 is a 2 inch by 1-1/4 inch copper press reducer. Both ends are press connections (P1 x P2), so it steps a 2 inch copper line down to 1-1/4 inch copper tube without any adapter in between. It is a copper fitting, so it is for copper tube systems, not for PEX or steel.
2) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 22328 and why does it matter on a big job?
Smart Connect is the feature in the sealing element that lets an unpressed joint leak on purpose during test fill, so the installer finds the connection they missed instead of discovering it after the walls close. On a run with a lot of 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch transitions, that is the difference between one pressure test and a callback.
3) Will the two ends of the 22328 press with the same tool jaw?
No. The 22328 has one 2 inch end and one 1-1/4 inch end, so each side needs its own size of press jaw or ring. The 2 inch side is typically pressed with a ring and actuator rather than a standard jaw. Make sure both sizes are in the kit before you send someone out with just this fitting.
4) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 22328 reducer in a tight ceiling?
The 22328 measures 2.594 inches in length and height and 3.425 inches in width, and weighs 0.555 lbs. Plan the surrounding clearance beyond that, though, because the press tool jaw needs swing room around the fitting, not just the fitting footprint itself.
5) Can I use the Viega 22328 copper reducer on a gas line?
The 22328 is a copper ProPress reducer supplied as a plumbing fitting. Viega builds separate gas-rated press fittings with a different sealing element and identification, so use the gas-specific line for fuel gas rather than this copper potable fitting.
6) Is the Viega 22328 a coupling-style reducer or does it have a fitting end?
It is a straight reducing coupling: both ends are press sockets that accept tube, one at 2 inch and one at 1-1/4 inch. There is no male or street end on it, so if you need to press into another fitting's socket you want a reducer with a fitting end instead.
