VIEGA Viega 2217.2 Profipress tee 28 mm x 1/2" female x 28 mm, pack of 5

The VIEGA Viega 2217.2 Profipress tee 28 mm x 1/2" female x 28 mm is a press-fit plumbing fitting designed for reliable, solder-free connections in potable water and heating systems. The fitting features two 28 mm press ends for copper or compatible press pipes and a central 1/2" female threaded branch for attaching valves, gauges or threaded adapters. Supplied as a pack of five, this Profipress tee is intended for installations that require a threaded outlet combined with the speed and cleanliness of press joining.

Advantages

The Profipress tee provides quick, repeatable press connections that eliminate the need for flame or soldering, reducing installation time and risk in occupied environments. Its female threaded branch allows direct mounting of standard 1/2" components without additional adaptors, while the press connections provide a consistent, leak-resistant joint when installed with the appropriate press tool and jaws. The pack of five supports small series installations and spare-part stock for service work.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution systems using copper or compatible press-fit pipe
• Domestic and commercial heating circuits where a threaded take-off is required
• Service and maintenance tasks requiring quick replacement of tees or spare parts
• Installations where open flame or soldering is restricted or undesired

When it may not be suitable

This Profipress tee is intended for use with 28 mm press-compatible copper or approved pipe systems; it is not suitable for pipe materials or connection systems that are incompatible with the Profipress tooling or sealing technology. For applications requiring different thread sizes, unions, or where full removable unions are needed, a different fitting design may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Press connection sizes: 28 mm (two ends)
• Threaded branch: 1/2" female (central)
• Material: manufactured to Profipress product standard (metal press fitting)
• Intended media: potable water and heating systems
• Packaging: pack of 5 pieces

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and removing burrs. Slide the press jaws over the pipe and position the fitting so the pipe is fully inserted into the press end. Use the appropriate Viega press tool and compatible jaw size for 28 mm connections and operate according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions to form the permanent press joint. Install the 1/2" female threaded component into the central branch using appropriate sealing method for the threaded connection, such as PTFE tape or suitable thread sealant, following the component manufacturer’s guidance. Inspect joints visually and test the system according to local plumbing and heating regulations.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure compatibility of press system and tool with 28 mm Profipress fittings
• Confirm the need for a 1/2" female threaded outlet for downstream components
• Check material and approval requirements for potable water or heating installations in your region
• Plan for spare fittings or a pack size appropriate to the scope of work

Usage recommendations

Use only approved Viega press tools and jaws sized for 28 mm to ensure reliable joints. Follow local codes for pressure testing after installation and use appropriate thread sealing for the 1/2" female branch. Store fittings in a dry place and inspect for damage before use.
