2" ProPress Tee (Copper)

The 2" ProPress Tee, identified by Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) Viega 77477 (Model 2918), is a premium copper fitting designed to create secure and efficient branch connections in various piping systems. As part of the original Viega ProPress system, this tee offers significant advantages over traditional soldering methods, saving both time and labor.

This tee is crafted from durable copper and is engineered for 2-inch nominal pipe sizes on all three ports. It integrates an EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) sealing element (identifiable by a green dot), which is crucial for achieving a consistent, strong, reliable, and watertight seal. The high-strength connection, when installed correctly, is backed by an impressive 50-year guarantee, underscoring its long-term reliability.

The core benefit of the Viega ProPress system is its fast and easy installation. Connections can be made in just four to seven seconds with a single squeeze of a press tool's trigger, eliminating the need for flame, solder, or flux. This not only requires less equipment but also results in cleaner and safer installations. The tee is designed for use with ASTM B88 copper tubing.

For enhanced safety and efficiency, the tee features Viega's patented Smart Connect® feature. This innovative technology helps installers quickly and accurately identify any unpressed connections during pressure testing, preventing errors and costly callbacks. Furthermore, the ability to join wet connections minimizes system downtime, making it an ideal solution for maintenance and emergency repairs. This versatile fitting can be installed virtually anywhere in commercial, industrial, and residential applications, suitable for both new construction and renovations, across a wide range of media including potable water, hydronic heating, chilled water, compressed air, non-medical gases, fire sprinkler systems, and low-pressure steam.
