  • Press-fit connections on all three ends install quickly without soldering
  • EPDM O-ring seals deliver leak-free joints up to 200 psi
  • Centre-stop dimple ensures correct insertion depth every time
  • Copper construction resists corrosion in potable-water systems

Reducing Tee for Copper Systems

The Viega ProPress 2918 is a copper reducing tee designed for potable water installations. It connects three press-fit ends sized at 1-1/2", 1", and 1" copper tube. A centre stop dimple helps position the tube correctly during assembly. The EPDM O-ring material provides a watertight seal at every joint.

Check Tube Sizes and Press Tool Access

Verify that your existing copper tubing matches the three listed tube sizes before ordering. Ensure you have a compatible press tool and jaw set capable of crimping 1-1/2" and 1" fittings. Confirm the system operates within the 200 psi maximum pressure rating. The overall length of 4 5/8 in should fit the available pipe run.

Replaces Sweated or Threaded Reducing Tees

This fitting replaces traditional sweated or threaded copper tees where a flame-free, press-fit connection is preferred. The jump is worth it when installation speed, clean joints, and consistent seal quality are priorities. It is not suited for systems that require larger branch sizes or different tube materials. The reducing design specifically addresses transitions from 1-1/2" mains to 1" branches.

Questions about this item

Does the Viega ProPress 2918 reducing tee come with the EPDM O-rings already installed, or must they be purchased separately?

The EPDM O-rings are included with the fitting, so no separate seal kit is required for the three press-fit connections.

When should I choose the 1-1/2" x 1" x 1" reducing tee instead of a straight tee?

Select this reducing tee when the main run is 1-1/2 inch copper tube and the branch drops to 1 inch, allowing a single press joint at each port.

What does the 200 psi maximum operating pressure mean for a residential potable-water system?

It confirms the fitting is rated well above typical municipal supply pressures, so it will handle normal household hot and cold water lines without additional reinforcement.
