Viega 25221 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Viega 25221 MegaPressG elbow press on both ends, or does one side thread?
Both ends are press. The 25221 is a P1 x P2 fitting, meaning press connection on each end, so it goes on 1-1/2 inch carbon steel pipe with a press tool and jaw at both joints. If you need to transition to threads at the elbow, you want a press x male or press x female fitting instead.
2) What pipe size does the Viega 25221 90 degree elbow fit?
1-1/2 inch on both ends, so it's a straight size elbow, not a reducing one. If you need to change size at the turn, you'll need a reducing elbow or a separate reducer.
3) Will the Viega MegaPressG 25221 work on copper or stainless pipe?
No. It's a carbon steel press fitting, sized for 1-1/2 inch black iron / carbon steel pipe. Copper tube takes a copper press system, and stainless takes a stainless fitting. Putting a carbon steel fitting on copper is a dissimilar metal joint and the seal geometry is wrong for the tube OD.
4) How much clearance do I need to install a 1-1/2 inch MegaPressG elbow in a tight chase?
The fitting itself is 5.354 x 5.354 x 2.437 inches. Plan around the press tool as well, not just the elbow, since the jaw needs room to open and close square to the pipe on each side of the turn. In a tight chase, press the elbow to one leg on the bench where you can, then make the second joint in place.
5) What does Smart Connect mean on the Viega 25221 elbow, and does it tell me if I missed a joint?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-joint detection feature. On a system that has been filled and pressure tested, a connection that was never pressed will leak visibly at test pressure so it can be found and corrected before the wall closes up. It does not replace pressing, and it does not make an unpressed joint safe to leave.
6) Do I need to order sealing elements or anything else with the 25221 elbow?
No separate seal to buy. MegaPressG fittings ship with the sealing element already in the fitting. What you do supply is a press tool with a 1-1/2 inch MegaPress jaw or ring, a proper square pipe cut, deburred ends, and the depth mark on the pipe so you can confirm full insertion before pressing.
7) Is the Viega 25221 made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Yes, this MegaPressG carbon steel elbow is made in the USA, which is the answer procurement wants on federal, municipal, and institutional work with domestic sourcing language in the spec. Order it by Viega part number 25221.
8) MegaPressG versus regular MegaPress, what is the difference for a gas line?
The G designation is the gas version of the carbon steel press system, with a sealing element suited to fuel gas service rather than the standard hydronic/water seal. The two look similar and share pipe sizes, so check the fitting you pull is a MegaPressG before you press a gas line. This one is the 1-1/2 inch MegaPressG 90 degree elbow, part 25221.
