Copper Tee VIEGA 28 x 18 x 28 mm 315023

Copper Tee VIEGA 28 x 18 x 28 mm is a three-way solder-fit fitting intended for creating a branch in copper plumbing and heating systems. Manufactured by VIEGA from copper, the tee connects two pipes of 28 mm diameter with a branch of 18 mm diameter, enabling a reliable change of flow direction or distribution between circuits. The fitting is designed for use in potable water installations, central heating circuits and other general-purpose copper pipework where matched diameters are required.

Advantages

The VIEGA copper tee offers durable corrosion resistance and good thermal conductivity inherent to copper, ensuring long service life in water and heating systems. Its soldered connection design provides leak-tight joints when installed by a qualified fitter using approved brazing or soldering techniques. The compact shape and standard dimensions make it compatible with common copper pipe systems and straightforward to integrate into existing installations.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution networks
• Central heating pipe circuits
• Domestic and commercial copper plumbing repairs and modifications
• Branching supply lines where 28 mm to 18 mm transition is required

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Connection type: Solder-fit / brazed joint
• Dimensions: main run outer diameter 28 mm, branch outer diameter 18 mm
• Shape: Tee (three-way)
• Typical application temperature: suitable for potable water and heating systems (room to high temperatures typical for central heating)

How to use

Prepare the copper pipe ends by cutting square, deburring and cleaning the surfaces to ensure proper soldering. Position the tee on the prepared pipes and apply flux according to industry practice. Use an appropriate solder or brazing alloy and heat source to create a continuous, watertight joint around each connection. After cooling, inspect joints visually and pressure-test the system in accordance with local codes and project requirements before placing into service.

Usage recommendations

Install using trained personnel and follow relevant plumbing standards. Use suitable flux and soldering materials compatible with potable water systems if the tee will be used for drinking water. Perform pressure testing after installation and protect exposed copper from corrosive environments or dissimilar metal contact to prevent galvanic corrosion.
