Bronze tee for potable water systems
This Viega ProPress 2917.2 bronze tee connects two 1 in press-fit copper tubes and a 1/2 in FNPT branch for potable water applications. The EPDM O-ring and centre-stop dimple ensure a secure, leak-free seal at up to 200 psi operating pressure. It is designed for installers who need a reliable transition between press-fit mains and threaded outlets.
Replaces threaded or soldered tees
The press-fit ends eliminate the need for open-flame soldering or pipe-thread cutting on the main run, reducing installation time and fire-risk on site. The jump is worth it when a project demands faster joint completion, consistent seal quality, or compliance with no-burn permit requirements. It is not suited for systems that require all-threaded connections or non-potable fluid service.
Installs with standard press tool
A compatible press tool and 1 in jaw set complete the two press connections in seconds, while the 1/2 in FNPT branch accepts standard pipe thread sealant and a wrench. Common issues include using an incorrect jaw size, skipping the centre-stop check, or over-tightening the threaded branch, which can distort the bronze body. Always verify the dimple is seated before pressurising.

Questions about this item
What copper tube sizes does the 2917.2 tee accept on each port?
The tee has press-fit ends for 1 in copper tube on the run and a 1/2 in FNPT branch for threaded connection.
Which press tool and jaw size are required to install the 1 in press ends?
Use a Viega ProPress tool with the 1 in jaw; the common error is pressing before the tube is fully seated past the stop dimple.
When should the EPDM O-rings on the press ends be inspected or replaced?
Inspect the O-rings during any system pressure test; replace them if they show cracking, flattening or if the joint is disassembled.
