Viega 77462 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Viega 77462 ProPress tee connect?
The Viega 77462 is a reducing tee sized 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/2 inch x 3/4 inch. The run is 1-1/2 inch on both ends and the branch outlet drops to 3/4 inch, so it is the fitting you use to pull a 3/4 inch branch off a 1-1/2 inch copper main.
2) Are all three ends of the Viega 77462 tee press ends, or is one threaded or sweat?
All three are press ends. The connection type is listed P1 x P2 x P3, meaning press on the 1-1/2 inch run, press on the 1-1/2 inch run, and press on the 3/4 inch branch. There is no threaded or solder socket on this fitting, so you will need a press tool with the correct jaw or ring for each size.
3) Do I need sealant, flux or solder to install the Viega 77462 press tee?
No flux, no solder, no sealant. A ProPress copper fitting uses a factory-installed sealing element inside each press socket, so the install is cut, deburr, mark depth, insert and press. What you do need is a press tool with jaws or rings matched to 1-1/2 inch and 3/4 inch, since all three ends on the 77462 are press.
4) Is the Viega 77462 tee copper or bronze, and can I use it on a copper water line?
It is a copper-bodied press fitting, which is what you want on copper tube. Material is listed as copper for both the body and the product material, so there is no dissimilar-metal issue joining it to type K, L or M copper water line.
5) What does Smart Connect mean on this Viega ProPress tee?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that leaves an unpressed connection deliberately leaky when the system is pressure tested, so an installer can spot a joint that was missed before the wall closes up. It does not change the fitting's dimensions or sizing: the 77462 is still a 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 3/4 inch copper press tee.
6) Can I use a press tee like this instead of sweating a copper tee in an occupied building?
That is the main reason to choose it. The 77462 makes all three joints with a mechanical press rather than a torch, so there is no open flame, no hot work permit, and no fire watch in a finished tenant space or a hospital corridor. The tradeoff versus a sweat tee is the tool: you need a press tool with 1-1/2 inch and 3/4 inch jaws on site.
