Viega 14568 Propress Copper Pipe Tee 1-1/4x1x1 in

Product Description

The VIEGA 14568 is a ProPress copper pipe tee designed for press-connect plumbing installations. This fitting joins three pipe runs in a reducing configuration, with a 1-1/4 inch run and two 1 inch branch and outlet connections. The press end style eliminates open-flame soldering, making it a fast, reliable choice for tight spaces or areas where torch work is restricted. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using a compatible press tool and jaw set. It is manufactured from copper for corrosion resistance and long service life in potable water and hydronic systems.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where reducing a main line down to branch connections is required. Common applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, hydronic heating piping, and mechanical room plumbing. The press-connect design is particularly useful during renovation work or in occupied buildings where open-flame procedures are not practical.

Key Features

• Reducing configuration: 1-1/4 inch run x 1 inch x 1 inch outlet
• Copper construction for corrosion resistance and durability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-connect fitting for copper pipe systems using ProPress tooling and compatible press jaw sets sized for the listed nominal pipe dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber using a calibrated press tool and the correct jaw size for each connection diameter. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressing. Verify local plumbing code requirements, as some jurisdictions have specific rules governing press-connect fittings in concealed or underground applications.
