Viega 80680 316SS Propress Reducing Tee 1-1/4 X 1 Inch

Product Description

The VIEGA 80680 is a 316 stainless steel ProPress reducing tee designed for press-connect piping systems in commercial and industrial plumbing applications. This fitting joins a 1-1/4 inch main run to a 1-inch branch outlet using a tool-actuated press connection, eliminating the need for open flame, soldering, or threading at the joint. At 0.48 pounds, it is a compact, corrosion-resistant fitting suited for potable water, mechanical, and light process piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where stainless steel construction and fast, reliable connections are required.

The 80680 is used in commercial plumbing, mechanical rooms, and industrial piping systems where 316 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. The ProPress system is common in new construction and retrofit work where torch-free installation is required or preferred. This reducing tee is appropriate for systems that transition between 1-1/4 inch and 1-inch line sizes within the same run.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• ProPress press-connect system for torch-free, no-solder installation
• Reducing configuration transitions 1-1/4 inch main to 1-inch branch

Compatibility

Designed for use with the VIEGA ProPress system in 316 stainless steel press-connect piping assemblies using 1-1/4 inch and 1-inch pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a VIEGA-approved ProPress pressing tool with the correct jaw size for each connection point. Shut off and depressurize the system before cutting into any existing line. Follow IPC and local plumbing code requirements for stainless steel press fittings, including inspection of pipe ends for proper deburring and cleanliness before pressing. Do not use this fitting with pipe sizes or system pressures outside the published VIEGA ProPress rating for 316SS.
