Viega 25246 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to thread or weld the 1-1/4 inch MegaPressG 45 elbow?
No. It is a press fitting on both ends, so you cut the pipe, deburr, mark depth, and press it with a compatible press tool and jaw. No threading, welding, or open flame on the job.
2) Is the MegaPressG 25246 elbow carbon steel or stainless?
Carbon steel. The 25246 is built for black iron style carbon steel pipe systems, which is what MegaPressG is used on, and it is made in Germany.
3) What does Smart Connect on the Viega 25246 elbow actually do for me in the field?
Smart Connect is the feature that lets an unpressed connection leak during pressure testing so you can find it before the system is put in service. It does not change how the fitting installs; it is there so a missed press on a 1-1/4 inch joint shows up at test rather than after the walls are closed.
4) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 1-1/4 inch 45 degree press elbow in a tight chase?
The fitting measures 5.543 x 3.85 x 2.205 inches and weighs 1.047 lbs. Plan for that envelope plus clearance for the press jaw to swing around the joint, which is usually the limiting factor in a tight chase rather than the fitting itself.
5) Can I mix the Viega 25246 with MegaPress fittings on the same carbon steel system?
MegaPressG is the gas rated version of the MegaPress carbon steel line and uses the same press technique and pipe. The G designation is what identifies it for gas service, so for a gas system specify MegaPressG fittings throughout rather than mixing in standard MegaPress.
6) Should I use a 45 degree elbow or a 90 for offsetting a gas line around an obstruction?
Two 45s give you a gentler offset and less pressure drop than a pair of 90s, and they are the usual choice when you need to jog a run around a beam or duct and come back parallel. Use a 90 where the direction change is a true right angle. The 25246 covers the 45 degree case in 1-1/4 inch carbon steel press.
