Viega 20693 Copper Press Pipe Tee 3 Inch

Product Description

The VIEGA 20693 is a copper press pipe tee designed for use in pressurized plumbing and hydronic systems. This fitting uses a press end style connection, which allows installation without open flame or soldering, reducing labor time and fire risk on the job. Sized at 3 inches nominal, it suits larger-diameter runs where reliable, leak-free joints are required. The ProPress XL-C series is engineered for professional installation by licensed plumbers working on commercial and residential water distribution, heating, and cooling piping systems.

This fitting is suited for use in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, and mechanical room piping where 3-inch copper distribution is specified. The press connection method is particularly effective in occupied buildings or retrofit applications where torch work is restricted. Licensed plumbing contractors and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this fitting type.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber using an approved press tool with the correct jaw size for 3-inch press fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Pipe ends must be cut clean and square, deburred, and fully seated into the fitting before pressing. Consult applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC for approved press fitting applications.
