Tee 76.1 bronze / glossy, model 2218XL 350628

VIEGA 2218XL Press Tee – Robust Connection for Water Installations

This tee with a diameter of 76.1 mm on two branches and 54 mm in the central section enables quick and reliable flow distribution in heating systems and sanitary installations. Made of raw bronze, it allows for later finishing to match the surroundings or further mechanical processing.

Key Practical Advantages

• Pressure Resistance – Maximum working pressure is 16 bar at 20 °C, making it suitable for typical central heating and domestic hot water installations.
• Temperature Resistance – Operating temperature range from ‑25 °C to +110 °C ensures stable performance with both cold and hot media.
• EPDM/EDPM Sealing – Monomeric rubber rings guarantee long-term tightness even under minor pipe vibrations.
• Easy Installation – All three connections are press couplings (MZ); connection length is 114 mm, and working length is 60.9 mm, enabling fast crimping using standard crimping tools.
• Compatibility with System Pipes – Designed for use with system pipes, simplifying component selection and ensuring overall system consistency.

Applications and Practical Tips

The VIEGA 2218XL tee is ideal for:

• Distributing heating circuits (e.g., splitting into underfloor and radiator circuits),
• Connecting hot water supplies in residential and commercial buildings,
• Industrial installations requiring high pressure and temperature resistance.

During installation, remember to:

1. Ensure precise pipe diameter matching – The 76.1 mm branches and the 54 mm central section must correspond to the system pipes used.
2. Use appropriate crimping tools – This ensures uniform compression of the coupling and full tightness of the EPDM/EDPM seal.
3. Check surface condition – The tee is supplied in raw state; it can undergo additional processing (e.g., painting) before installation without affecting mechanical properties or sealing performance.

Thanks to its simple connection system and high strength parameters, this tee is an excellent choice for both experienced installers and individuals planning their own home renovation projects.
