Viega 25496 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Viega 25496 MegaPressG tee and which outlet is the reduced one?
The 25496 is a reducing tee sized 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 3/4 inches, so the run stays at 1-1/4 inch and the branch drops to 3/4 inch. That is the fitting you want where a 3/4 inch takeoff leaves a 1-1/4 inch main without adding a bushing.
2) Is the Viega 25496 tee press-connect on all three ports, or does one end thread?
All three ports press. The connection is listed P1 x P2 x P3, meaning press on the two 1-1/4 inch run ends and press on the 3/4 inch branch, so the fitting goes on with a press tool and jaws in the matching sizes rather than with threading or welding.
3) Can I use a MegaPressG carbon steel tee on a gas line?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated press system for black iron and carbon steel pipe, and the 25496 is a carbon steel MegaPressG tee. It is the gas-side fitting, not the water-side MegaPress. On a hydronic or water run you would be reaching for plain MegaPress instead.
4) Will a MegaPressG tee fit standard black iron pipe, or do I need special pipe?
Carbon steel press fittings size to standard schedule pipe, so the 1-1/4 inch ends of the 25496 go onto nominal 1-1/4 inch black or carbon steel pipe and the branch onto 3/4 inch. The pipe gets cut, deburred and marked to depth, then pressed. No cutting of threads and no pipe dope on any of the three ports.
5) What does Smart Connect do on a Viega MegaPressG fitting?
Smart Connect is a deliberate feature in the sealing element that lets an unpressed joint leak during test, so an installer pressurizing the system finds the connection that got missed instead of discovering it after the walls close. On a three-port fitting like the 25496 that matters more than on a coupling, because there are three crimps to forget rather than two.
6) Do I need a different press tool or jaw for the 3/4 inch branch on this tee?
Yes. Each port presses at its own nominal size, so the two 1-1/4 inch run ends take a 1-1/4 inch jaw and the 3/4 inch branch takes a 3/4 inch jaw. Crews carrying only the large jaw set get stopped at the branch, so bring both sizes to the opening.
7) What is the Viega part number and weight for the 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 3/4 MegaPressG tee?
Order it as Viega part 25496. It weighs 1.406 lbs, which is worth knowing when you are hanging a run of carbon steel press fittings and sizing supports, and it is made in Germany.
