ProPress XL Reducing Tee

The Viega 22293 ProPress XL tee is a copper press-fit reducing tee designed for potable water systems. It connects two 2-1/2 inch copper tubes on the run and a 1 inch copper tube on the branch. The fitting features an EPDM O-ring for a secure, leak-free seal without soldering. It includes a center stop dimple to ensure proper tube insertion depth.

Thermals Noise And Power Draw

This passive copper fitting generates no heat, produces no noise, and draws no electrical power during operation. Its pressure rating of 200 psi ensures reliable performance under normal system pressure fluctuations. The EPDM O-ring material maintains seal integrity across typical potable water temperature ranges. Installation requires only a compatible press tool, eliminating open-flame hazards.

Upgrade From Soldered Tees

This press-fit tee replaces traditional soldered copper reducing tees, removing the need for flux, solder, and torch work on site. The jump is worth it when installation speed, fire-safety restrictions, or limited ventilation make soldering impractical. It is not suited for systems requiring non-copper materials or press tools incompatible with the ProPress XL profile.

Questions about this item

How do I press the 2-1/2" and 1" copper ends with a ProPress XL tool, and which step do installers most often miss?

Square-cut and deburr each tube to the marked insertion depth, slide the fitting until the center-stop dimple seats on the 1" branch, then press all three joints with the correct XL jaw set; the step most often missed is confirming the dimple is fully engaged before pressing.

What maintenance will the EPDM O-rings need over time?

EPDM O-rings are rated for potable water up to 200 psi and require no scheduled replacement; inspect joints during any system work and replace only if leakage or visible degradation appears.

At what pressure limit should I expect the first sign of stress under sustained use?

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi; sustained operation near this limit is the first condition that can accelerate O-ring fatigue or joint movement.
