Copper Tee VIEGA 28 mm model 101022 — copper pipe fitting for plumbing

Copper tee VIEGA 28 mm model 101022 is a copper pipe fitting designed to form a T-branch in 28 mm copper piping systems. It connects three copper pipes of the same diameter and is intended for use in water supply and heating installations where corrosion resistance and reliable metal-to-metal joining are required. The fitting is made from copper and is compatible with common joining methods used in plumbing, providing a durable junction for distribution and branch lines.

Advantages

The copper construction offers natural corrosion resistance and long service life in potable water and heating systems. The tee provides consistent internal diameter to maintain flow characteristics and is suitable for soldering or compatible press-connection systems, allowing flexible installation approaches. Its solid metal design ensures mechanical strength and a tight connection when properly joined, reducing the risk of leaks and providing temperature tolerance typical for copper plumbing components.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial cold and hot water distribution
• Heating circuit branches in hydronic systems
• Plumbing repairs and retrofits in copper pipe networks
• Systems requiring soldered or press-fit copper joints

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Nominal pipe diameter: 28 mm
• Connection type: compatible with soldering and press-connection methods
• Configuration: T-branch (three-way connector, equal diameter)
• Typical applications: potable water and heating installations

How to use

Select the appropriate 28 mm copper pipes and prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring. Clean and flux the mating surfaces if soldering, or follow the press-connection manufacturer's preparation instructions for press fittings. Insert the pipes fully into the tee sockets, apply the chosen joining method (capillary soldering or press tool operation) and verify each joint for completeness. After installation, pressure-test the assembled section according to local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines to confirm leak-free performance.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible flux and solder or certified press fittings and tools. Ensure joints are installed by qualified personnel or under proper guidance, and perform pressure and leak tests before handing systems over to service. Avoid exposure to dissimilar metals without appropriate dielectric fittings to prevent galvanic corrosion.
