Viega 25445 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three outlet sizes on the Viega 25445 MegaPress tee, and is the branch threaded?
The 25445 MegaPress tee is a 1-1/2 in x 1-1/2 in x 1 in configuration. The two run ends are press connections and the 1 in branch is female pipe thread, listed as P1 x P2 x FPT. So the run presses straight onto 1-1/2 in carbon steel pipe and the branch takes a male threaded nipple or fitting.
2) Can I use a MegaPress carbon steel tee on copper or PEX lines?
No. The 25445 tee is carbon steel and MegaPress press ends are made for black iron / carbon steel pipe. For copper you need a copper press system fitting, and for PEX a PEX tee. Mixing a carbon steel press fitting onto copper is not a supported joint.
3) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 25445 tee into an existing 1-1/2 inch run?
Plan on about 6.87 in end to end on the run, with the fitting standing 2.437 in and measuring 3.457 in across. Add clearance beyond that for the press tool jaw to close squarely around each end, which is the usual limiting factor in a tight joist bay or against a wall.
4) Should I use a press tee with an FPT branch or a straight press tee?
Go with the 1 in FPT branch on the 25445 when the takeoff has to land on something threaded, a gauge, a valve, a drop nipple, or a device with male pipe thread. If the branch continues in 1 in carbon steel pipe, a full press x press x press tee saves you a thread joint and the dope. The run ends here are press either way.
5) What part number do I order for a 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1 inch MegaPress tee with a threaded branch?
Viega MegaPress 25445. One model, carbon steel, 1-1/2 in x 1-1/2 in x 1 in, press run with an FPT branch. Specify it by that number when you are matching the rest of a MegaPress bill of material.
6) What does Smart Connect mean on a Viega MegaPress fitting?
Smart Connect is the feature that makes an unpressed fitting leak on purpose during test, so an accidentally skipped joint shows itself before the system is put in service rather than after the ceiling is closed. It is built into the 25445 tee.
7) Who makes the Viega 25445 and what does it weigh for takeoff and shipping?
Viega manufactures it in Germany. Each 25445 tee weighs 1.929 lbs, useful if you are pricing out hanger spacing or a bulk pack for a job.
