Tee fitting SC 18 copper / shiny, model 2418 Profipress 291891

Copper Tee for Profipress Systems

This copper tee, designed for the Profipress compression system by Viega, is a reliable solution for connecting pipes with a diameter of 18 mm. It ensures leak-proof and durable connections in water and heating systems. Its design allows for splitting the medium flow in three directions, making it an ideal component for system branch points.

Construction and Application

The tee is manufactured from high-quality copper, guaranteeing resistance to corrosion and long-term durability. The Profipress system relies on compression technology, eliminating the need for soldering or welding, significantly accelerating installation and reducing the risk of errors. EPDM sealing elements ensure tightness even under high pressures—up to 16 bar. This tee is suitable for both potable water and heating installations where reliability and connection longevity are critical. It is especially useful for creating system branches, enabling connection of additional components such as valves, outlets, or sanitary fixtures.

Key Features and Benefits

• Fast Installation: Profipress compression technology reduces installation time compared to traditional joining methods.
• Safety: Compression connections are exceptionally leak-tight and resistant to high pressure, minimizing leakage risks.
• Durability: Copper is corrosion-resistant, ensuring long service life for the tee and the entire system.
• Versatility: Suitable for use in both water and heating systems (up to operating temperature of 105°C).
• Easy Identification: Manufacturer markings facilitate identification and quality verification of connections.
• Compliance with Standards: The Profipress system meets stringent safety and quality standards (e.g., DVGW W 534).
• Pre-installed Seals: EPDM sealing elements are factory-fitted, simplifying installation and eliminating the risk of omitting critical components.

Thanks to this tee, installers can execute projects quickly, efficiently, and with full confidence in the durability of their connections. End users benefit from a reliable, safe installation that performs flawlessly for many years.
