Viega 20700 Propress Zero Lead Copper Xl-c Reducer

Product Description

The VIEGA 20700 is a ProPress Zero Lead Copper XL-C press-fit reducer designed for professional plumbing installations in commercial, industrial, and residential piping systems. It transitions a 2-1/2-inch press connection down to a 2-inch press connection, eliminating the need for soldering, flux, or open flame during installation. The fitting is manufactured from copper and is heavier than Type K copper for added durability. A built-in Smart Connect feature allows inspectors and installers to identify unpressed connections during pressure testing, reducing the risk of missed joints before a system goes live.

The VIEGA 20700 suits new construction and retrofit applications across a wide range of piping systems where a reduction from 2-1/2-inch to 2-inch is required. It is press-compatible on both ends, making it appropriate for wet or dry pipe conditions. The rapid press cycle, typically four to seven seconds per connection, keeps maintenance and repair timelines on schedule. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial hydronic, domestic water, and similar copper piping systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines.

Verify all connections are fully pressed before restoring system pressure, using the Smart Connect feature during testing to confirm joint integrity.
