Viega ProPress 2918 Copper Reducing Tee
This Viega ProPress 2918 copper tee connects three press-fit lines in potable-water systems. The reducing shape joins two 2-inch copper tubes and one 1-1/2-inch tube with a rolled centre stop. EPDM O-rings seal each press-fit connection without solder or flame. The fitting is new and rated for standard plumbing service.
Press-fit interface limits at 200 psi
The press-fit joints hold up to 200 psi maximum operating pressure in potable-water applications. Copper tube dimensions must match the listed sizes exactly for a secure crimp. EPDM seals suit hot and cold water but are not rated for oil, fuel or aggressive chemicals. No threading or soldering is required or supported on any port.
Tool-dependent install with jaw-size risk
Installation requires a compatible press tool and correctly sized jaws for each tube diameter. The most common error is using mismatched or worn jaws, which leaves an incomplete crimp and a leak path. Debris on tube ends or damaged O-rings also cause seal failure. Always pressure-test the assembly before concealing the joint.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 2 in x 2 in x 1 1/2 in reducing tee or a straight tee for my branch line?
Choose this reducing tee when the branch line is 1 1/2 in copper tube while the run stays at 2 in; a straight tee would require a separate reducer fitting.
What does the 200 psi maximum operating pressure mean once the fitting is pressed onto copper tube?
The pressed joint is rated for continuous service up to 200 psi in potable water systems, so the fitting will not be the pressure-limiting component in typical residential or commercial supplies.
How does the ProPress press-fit interface affect installation time compared with soldered tees?
The press-fit connection eliminates flux, solder and open flame, so a qualified installer can complete each joint in seconds once the press tool is calibrated.
