Pps 691514773926 Propress Copper Press Tee 3/4x1/2x1/2

Product Description

The PPS 691514773926 is a ProPress copper press tee fitting designed for tool-based press connections in commercial and residential piping systems. Manufactured by Viega under the ProPress system, this tee measures 3/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 inches nominal and spans 3.32 inches in length. The press end style eliminates open-flame soldering, allowing fast, reliable joints in copper piping. It is suited for licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors working in new construction or retrofit applications where speed and code compliance are priorities.

This fitting is rated for a broad range of system types including potable water, hydronic heating, chilled water, compressed air, non-medical gases, fire sprinkler, and low pressure steam. The reducing tee configuration — 3/4 inch run by 1/2 inch branch — allows a single fitting to transition flow from a main line to a smaller branch line without additional reducers. It is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, under-slab rough-in, and above-ceiling distribution runs.

Designed for use within the Viega ProPress press fitting system. Compatible with standard copper tubing sized to 3/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 inch nominal dimensions across potable water, hydronic heating, chilled water, compressed air, non-medical gas, fire sprinkler, and low pressure steam applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified plumber or mechanical contractor using a compatible Viega ProPress jaw and pressing tool — do not attempt to solder or mechanically thread this fitting. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and verify the pipe is fully inserted to the depth mark before pressing. All work should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for copper press fittings. Inspect the EPDM or HNBR sealing element for damage before pressing.
