Viega 20700 Copper Press Pipe Reducer 2.5x2 in

Product Description

The VIEGA 20700 is a copper press-style concentric pipe reducer designed for use in ProPress XL-C piping systems. It transitions between a 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe and a 2 inch nominal pipe using a press-fit end connection on both sides, eliminating the need for open flame soldering during installation. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors use this fitting in commercial and industrial hydronic, potable water, and process piping applications where fast, reliable joints are required.

This reducer is intended for larger-diameter copper press system installations, typically found in commercial buildings, mechanical rooms, and institutional facilities. The press-fit design is suited for situations where torch work is restricted or where installation speed is a priority. It is sized for 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch nominal copper tubing runs and is installed using a compatible press tool and jaw set rated for XL-C fittings.

Key Features

• Press-fit end style on both ends — no soldering or open flame required
• Concentric reducer transitions 2-1/2 inch nominal to 2 inch nominal copper pipe
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance in water and hydronic systems
• ProPress XL-C series fitting for larger-diameter commercial piping applications
• Compatible with press tools equipped with XL-C jaw sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use within copper ProPress XL-C press piping systems on 2-1/2 inch and 2 inch nominal copper tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or mechanical contractors using a press tool and the correct XL-C jaw set for the fitting size. Verify the system is depressurized and drained before pressing any fitting into an existing line. Do not press fittings on copper tubing with visible debris, deep scratches, or out-of-round deformation, as these conditions can compromise the joint seal. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and the manufacturer press tool guidelines for jaw selection and pressing sequence.
