Viega 25255 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe size does the Viega MegaPress 25255 45-degree elbow press onto?
The 25255 is a 2 inch by 2 inch elbow, so both ends press onto 2 inch pipe. Connection type is press by press (P1 x P2), meaning there is no threaded or socket-weld end on it, both sides are crimped with a press tool.
2) Should I use a 45 degree press elbow or two 90s for an offset on 2 inch steel pipe?
For an offset or a change of direction less than a right angle, a pair of 45s like the 25255 keeps the run shorter and cuts pressure drop compared with stacking 90s. Two 90s only make sense when you need a full right angle or have to jog around an obstruction in a tight space. Each press joint is another crimp and another leak point, so fewer fittings on the offset is usually the better call.
3) How much space do I need to fit the Viega 25255 2 inch 45 elbow?
Plan around a fitting envelope of 6.626 x 4.783 x 2.894 inches. You also need clearance for the press jaw or ring around each of the two collars, so lay out the offset with room for the tool to sit square on the joint rather than just the fitting body. It weighs 1.951 lbs, light enough to hang on the pipe while you press.
4) What does Smart Connect on the Viega 25255 actually do for me on the job?
Smart Connect is the feature that lets an unpressed joint leak intentionally during pressure testing, so you can spot a crimp you missed before the system is buried or covered. On a 2 inch carbon steel run with a lot of joints, that is the difference between finding a miss at test and finding it after the ceiling closes.
5) Do I need anything besides the 25255 elbow to make the connection?
The elbow comes with its sealing elements in both press collars, so no separate gaskets to buy. What you do need is a press tool with the correct 2 inch MegaPress jaw or ring and actuator, plus a proper pipe cutter and deburring. The fitting itself includes no threads, both ends are press only (P1 x P2).
6) Can I press this 2 inch MegaPress elbow onto a threaded pipe end?
No. Both ends are press connections, so they need clean, round, cut pipe, not a threaded nipple. If you have to land on existing threads, use a press by male or female threaded adapter at that point and keep the 25255 for the press-to-press leg of the offset.
7) Where is the Viega MegaPress 25255 elbow manufactured?
Made in Germany. That matters on institutional and government work where country of origin has to be documented in the submittal package.
8) Which Viega part number should I order for a 2 inch carbon steel 45?
Order Viega model 25255, the MegaPress 2 x 2 inch 45 degree carbon steel elbow. One part number covers it, there is no finish or handing option to specify.
