Viega 22278 Copper Press Tee 2-1/2 X 2 X 2 in

Product Description

The VIEGA 22278 is a copper press tee designed for use in pressurized piping systems where a reliable, solder-free branch connection is required. Built to ProPress specifications, this tee features a press end style that allows for fast, flame-free joining using a compatible press tool. The fitting connects a 2-1/2 inch run with two 2 inch branch or continuation ports. It is installed by licensed plumbers working on commercial and residential piping systems where speed and code compliance are priorities.

This tee is suited for hot and cold water distribution, HVAC hydronic piping, and other pressurized copper piping applications. The press connection method eliminates open-flame torch work, making it appropriate for installations in occupied buildings or areas where hot work permits are restricted. It is commonly used in mechanical rooms, commercial retrofit projects, and new construction plumbing rough-ins.

Key Features

• Press end style connection — no soldering, brazing, or open flame required
• 2-1/2 x 2 x 2 inch nominal sizing for reducing branch configurations
• Copper construction for corrosion resistance and long service life in water systems
• Compatible with standard ProPress press tooling and jaw sets
• Flame-free installation reduces hot work hazards in sensitive environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ProPress fitting for use in copper press piping systems requiring a 2-1/2 x 2 x 2 inch reducing tee configuration with press end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water system completely before cutting into existing lines. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and cleaned before inserting into the press fitting. Use only a press tool and jaw set rated and approved for ProPress copper fittings — do not attempt to compress the fitting with unapproved tooling.
