ProPress XL Reducing Tee 20699

The Viega 20699 ProPress XL reducing tee is a copper press-fit fitting designed for potable water systems. It connects a 1-1/2 inch branch between two 2-1/2 inch main lines using a flameless press tool. The integrated center stop dimple ensures consistent insertion depth on all three ports. This fitting suits commercial and residential plumbers who need a reliable, solder-free transition.

Rated 200 psi for Pressurised Systems

The copper body with EPDM O-rings handles a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi in normal service. Press connections eliminate open flame, so there is no heat-related thermal stress on surrounding pipework during installation. The joint remains leak-tight under standard pressure cycling without the noise or vibration sometimes caused by threaded fittings loosening over time.

Copper Construction with EPDM Seals

Each port features a press-fit end sized for standard copper tube dimensions, requiring a compatible ProPress XL tool and jaw set for installation. The factory-fitted EPDM O-rings provide the seal, removing the need for flux, solder or thread sealant on site. The reducing tee shape allows a direct 2-1/2 by 1-1/2 by 2-1/2 transition without extra couplings, reducing potential leak paths and saving fitting space in tight mechanical rooms.

Questions about this item

How is the ProPress XL reducing tee installed and what step is commonly missed?

The tee uses press-fit connections on all three ends; the step often missed is confirming the EPDM O-ring is fully seated before pressing each joint.

What maintenance or replacement will the ProPress XL reducing tee need later?

The EPDM O-rings on the press-fit ends are the only wear items; they should be inspected periodically and replaced if they show cracking or hardening.

What pressure limit appears first during sustained use of the ProPress XL reducing tee?

The maximum operating pressure is 200 psi, so sustained pressure above that value will be the first limit encountered.
