Viega 25650 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of connection does the Viega MegaPress 25650 have on each end?
The MegaPress 25650 is a press-by-female-thread fitting: one end is a MegaPress press connection, the other is female NPT (FPT). That means one side goes onto the pipe with a press tool and no threading or welding, and the other side accepts a male-threaded nipple, valve, or gauge. Both sides are 1/2 inch.
2) Do I need a special press tool for the 1/2 inch MegaPress fitting, or can I thread it on?
The press end needs a press tool with the correct MegaPress jaw for 1/2 inch carbon steel pipe. It cannot be tightened by hand or with a wrench. The FPT side is different: that end threads on conventionally with pipe sealant or tape, which is why this fitting is a common way to tie a pressed steel line into a threaded valve or device.
3) What does Viega's Smart Connect feature actually do on a MegaPress fitting?
Smart Connect leaves a deliberate small leak path at an unpressed connection, so when the system is pressurized during testing an unpressed joint weeps and shows itself before the walls close. It is an inspection aid, not a seal. Once the joint is pressed correctly, it seals normally.
4) How much room do I need to allow for a 1/2 inch MegaPress union in a tight chase?
Allow for a body measuring 2.854 x 1.772 x 1.614 inches, plus clearance to swing the press jaw around the press end. The fitting itself weighs 0.621 lbs, so it is light enough not to need support on a short branch, but the jaw envelope, not the fitting, is usually what decides whether it fits behind a wall.
5) Is the Viega 25650 a reducing fitting or same size on both ends?
Same size through: 1/2 inch on the press side and 1/2 inch on the female threaded side. If you need to step up or down between the pressed steel run and the threaded device, use a separate reducing bushing or a reducing MegaPress fitting instead of this one.
6) Will a carbon steel press fitting work on a wet system, or should it be dry service only?
The body is carbon steel, which is the material used for black iron gas, compressed air, hydronic, fire protection, and similar steel piping rather than for potable water. For potable water lines use a copper or bronze system fitting; carbon steel is not the right material there.
7) Where is the Viega MegaPress 25650 made, and does it come as a single fitting?
Manufactured in Germany, and the 25650 is one fitting, sold under manufacturer part number 25650. There is a single model, so there is no finish or size choice to specify when ordering.
