Viega 25235 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe size does the Viega MegaPress 25235 45-degree elbow fit?
The MegaPress 25235 elbow is a 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch fitting, press on both ends. It presses onto 3/4 inch black iron pipe, so both legs take the same size and there is no reducing with this one. For a size change you need a reducing coupling or a different fitting.
2) Is the Viega 25235 elbow steel or copper, and can I use it on black iron gas or water pipe?
Carbon steel. That is what makes it a match for carbon steel (black iron) pipe rather than copper tube, and it is why it gets pressed with MegaPress jaws rather than ProPress jaws. Don't substitute a copper press elbow on a steel line.
3) Does the Viega 25235 need to be threaded or welded in?
Neither. It is a press-to-press fitting, so the joint is made cold with a press tool and MegaPress jaws. No threading, no cutting oil, no hot work permit, which is the usual reason contractors pick it for occupied buildings and retrofit work on existing steel pipe.
4) What does Smart Connect technology on the MegaPress 45 elbow actually do for the installer?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed connection leak detectably during pressure testing, so a joint you missed shows itself before the system is signed off. On a 45-degree offset with two press ends, that means two joints per fitting to verify.
5) How much room does the Viega 25235 45-degree elbow take up in a tight chase?
Published dimensions are 3.709 inches long, 2.587 inches wide and 1.492 inches high, and it weighs 0.41 lbs. Use the length and width figures when you are laying out an offset in a joist bay or a narrow wall cavity, since a press fitting also needs clearance around the collar for the jaw to close.
6) Should I use a 45-degree elbow or two 90s to get around an obstruction?
A pair of 45s like the 25235 gives you a shallower offset with less directional change than two 90s, which keeps pressure loss down and makes it easier to clear a beam or duct without jogging the line hard. Two 90s are the better choice when you need a full right-angle turn or a true parallel offset in a very short distance. Both legs of the 25235 are 3/4 inch press, so either approach works on the same pipe size.
7) Does the Viega 25235 elbow come with a sealing element or do I order that separately?
The 25235 is a complete press elbow with its sealing element already installed in both press ends, so nothing extra goes in the fitting. What you do need on site is the press tool with MegaPress jaws sized for 3/4 inch, plus a proper square cut and deburred pipe end with the insertion depth marked.
8) What is the manufacturer part number for the Viega MegaPress 3/4 inch 45-degree elbow, and where is it made?
Order it as Viega MegaPress 25235. It is made in Germany. When you are matching an existing run, confirm the fitting on the job is MegaPress carbon steel and not a copper ProPress part, because the model numbers look similar in a catalogue.
