Reducing Tee 1" × 1" × 1/2

The Viega ProPress 2918 is a copper reducing tee for potable-water systems. It connects two 1-inch copper tubes and one 1/2-inch copper tube using press-fit ends on all three ports. The fitting carries an EPDM O-ring and a rolled centre stop for correct insertion depth. It is rated for 200 psi maximum operating pressure.

Press-fit installation

Press-fit connections are made with a compatible press tool and jaw set sized for 1-inch and 1/2-inch copper tube. No solder, flux or open flame is required, which speeds up work in tight spaces. The rolled centre stop provides a tactile stop when the tube is fully seated. Common issues include using the wrong jaw size, pressing on deformed tubing or skipping the visual inspection of the O-ring before pressing.

System compatibility check

Verify that the existing piping is Type K, L or M copper tube in the exact sizes shown. Confirm the system pressure does not exceed the 200 psi rating and that the fluid is compatible with EPDM seals. Ensure the press tool and jaws are calibrated and approved for copper press fittings. Check local code requirements for press-fit use in potable-water applications.
