Viega ProPress XL Reducing Tee 20803 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 1-1/2

SKU CH-Q36Z-KG1DA

Copper reducing tee with press-fit ends for 2-1/2 in and 1-1/2 in potable water lines, rated to 200 psi

  • Reducing tee connects three copper lines
  • Press-fit joints install without soldering or flame
  • EPDM O-rings seal potable water systems
  • Rated for 200 psi maximum operating pressure
  • Centre-stop dimple ensures correct tube insertion depth

ProPress XL Reducing Tee 20803

The Viega ProPress XL tee joins three copper tubes using press-fit connections on every port. Two outlets accept 2-1/2 in copper tube size while the branch reduces to 1-1/2 in, allowing a single fitting to transition pipe diameter in potable water systems. A centre-stop dimple and EPDM O-ring are built in to seat the tubes at the correct depth and provide a watertight seal.

Replaces threaded or soldered reducing tees

Press connections remove the need for open flame, flux or pipe thread compound on copper installations. The jump is worth it when a project demands faster assembly, consistent joint quality and a 200 psi pressure rating without the variability of hand-soldered or threaded joints. Overall length is 5 31/32 in, matching standard layout dimensions for retrofit or new work.

Suits plumbers and contractors running copper

Installers who require flame-free connections and code-approved press fittings will benefit. Builders who need a different branch size, a non-copper material or a fitting rated above 200 psi should look at other options. The fitting is specific to the 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 configuration and does not adapt to other tube diameters.

Questions about this item

What tube sizes does the 20803 reducing tee accept on each end?

The tee has press-fit ends for 2-1/2 in copper tube on the run and 1-1/2 in copper tube on the branch.

Which press tool jaw size matches the 2-1/2 in ends of this fitting?

Use a ProPress XL jaw rated for 2-1/2 in copper tube; the smaller branch requires a 1-1/2 in jaw.

When should the EPDM O-rings on this tee be inspected or replaced?

Inspect O-rings during any system pressure test and replace them if they show cracking, hardening or leakage at the 200 psi rating.
