This fitting connects two 1-1\/2-inch branch and run ports to a 2-inch run port using a press-end connection style, eliminating open flame from the joint-making process. Licensed plumbers install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications. It is well suited for potable water distribution, hydronic heating, and commercial plumbing systems where copper is the specified material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tee fits into press-fit plumbing systems that use compatible pressing tools and jaw sets. The press-end style requires a calibrated press tool to create a watertight mechanical connection at each socket. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping installations where copper press systems are specified. The 2 x 1-1\/2 x 1-1\/2-inch nominal configuration handles a reducing branch layout commonly found in trunk-and-branch water distribution runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress-end connection style eliminates the need for soldering or open flame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper construction offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with potable water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReducing configuration: 2-inch run by 1-1\/2-inch by 1-1\/2-inch branch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal sizing matches standard copper tubing dimensions for direct replacement or new installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical press joint suitable for use in tight spaces where torch access is limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style press fitting compatible with standard copper press plumbing systems using press-end tooling sized for 2-inch and 1-1\/2-inch nominal copper tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation must be performed by a licensed plumber following local plumbing code requirements, including IPC provisions for mechanical press fittings. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. Use only a calibrated press tool with the correct jaw size for each port diameter. Do not substitute compression or push-to-connect tooling for press-end fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 x 1-1\/2 x 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VIEGA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15503\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VIEGA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524585783602,"sku":"VIEGTRED2112112","price":124.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/29c0cc8e53f3758fb995f1b6c743bfba.jpg?v=1785452467","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/viega-15503-press-copper-pipe-tee-2x1-1-2x1-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
