  • Centre-stop dimple ensures correct insertion depth
  • Ready for potable water systems

Viega Copper Press-Fit Reducing Tee

This Viega copper reducing tee connects three press-fit joints in potable-water systems. Side A and Side B accept 1/2 inch copper tube while Side C steps up to 1 inch. A centre stop dimple ensures correct insertion depth during pressing.

Practical limits of the press-fit interface

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi. All three ports use EPDM O-rings for the seal. Installation requires a compatible press tool and jaws; the joint cannot be soldered or threaded once pressed.

What this replaces and when the jump is worth it

It replaces a soldered copper tee with a reducer when a press system is already specified on site. The jump is worth it where open flame is prohibited, where pressing is faster than soldering multiple joints, or where the installer prefers a mechanical connection with a visible press indicator.
