VIEGA reducing tee 54 x 28 x 54 mm, soldered (model 117467)

The VIEGA reducing tee 54 x 28 x 54 mm is a soldered copper fitting designed to join three pipes where one branch has a reduced diameter. Constructed from corrosion-resistant metal and factory-soldered for a permanent joint, this fitting is intended for use in heating, potable water and general plumbing systems. The compact reducing branch enables a direct transition between 54 mm mains and a 28 mm branch while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant connection.

Advantages

This soldered reducing tee offers a durable, permanent connection that eliminates the need for mechanical fittings at the joint. The corrosion-resistant metal construction ensures long service life in typical plumbing and heating environments. The pre-soldered assembly reduces installation time and provides consistent joint quality, while the standard pipe dimensions make it compatible with common copper piping systems.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial heating systems
• Potable water distribution and plumbing installations
• Pipe network sections requiring a reduction from 54 mm to 28 mm
• Applications where a permanent, soldered branch connection is required

Key specifications

• Material: corrosion-resistant metal suitable for soldered copper piping systems
• Configuration: reducing tee with two equal 54 mm outlets and one 28 mm reduced branch
• Connection type: factory-soldered permanent joint
• Intended media: heating water, potable water and general plumbing fluids
• Application environment: indoor plumbing and heating installations

How to use

Ensure the pipes to be joined are clean, properly cut and deburred before assembly. Position the reducing tee onto the prepared copper pipe ends, verify alignment and support, then complete the installation according to applicable soldering procedures and local regulations. After soldering, allow the joint to cool and inspect for continuity and proper wetting of the solder. Pressure-test the system as required before putting it into service.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible copper pipe sizes and follow relevant standards for soldering and system testing. Provide appropriate support for the 28 mm branch to prevent stress at the joint and consult local codes for potable water or heating system installation requirements.
