Viega 25736 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega 25736 MegaPressG cap fit?
The Viega 25736 MegaPressG cap is a 3/4 inch press fitting, so it caps the end of 3/4 inch black iron or carbon steel gas pipe. It is a press connection, not threaded, so the pipe end needs to be cut square, deburred and fully inserted to the stop before pressing with the matching 3/4 inch MegaPress jaw.
2) Is the Viega 25736 cap approved for gas lines or only water?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas line press system, and the 25736 is the 3/4 inch carbon steel cap in that system. Use MegaPressG fittings on gas piping and keep the standard MegaPress (non-G) fittings on water and other non-gas service. The two systems look similar in carbon steel, so match the G designation to the application.
3) What does Smart Connect do on this Viega press cap?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: the sealing element is shaped so an unpressed fitting leaks noticeably during pressure testing instead of holding. On a 3/4 inch MegaPressG cap that matters because a cap at the end of a run is easy to skip when you are pressing a long branch, and the leak at test tells you which joint was missed.
4) How much room do I need to press a 3/4 inch MegaPressG cap in a tight chase?
The cap itself measures 2.256 inches long and 1.496 inches in both height and width, so the fitting body is compact; the clearance that actually governs is the swing of the press jaw around that 1.496 inch diameter. In a tight chase or against a wall, plan for jaw rotation space rather than just fitting size.
5) Can I use a press cap instead of a threaded cap to close off an abandoned gas branch?
Yes, and that is the usual reason to buy one. A threaded cap needs the pipe end threaded, which means cutting, reaming and cutting threads in place; the 3/4 inch MegaPressG cap presses onto plain cut pipe in seconds with no open flame and no threading. Where the existing pipe already has good threads, a threaded cap is still the cheaper close-off. Where you are cutting back live-in-place pipe, the press cap wins.
6) Is the Viega 25736 cap carbon steel or stainless, and will it corrode in a mechanical room?
It is carbon steel, matched to black iron and carbon steel gas pipe so you are not mixing metals at the joint. Carbon steel is for dry interior service; for wet, buried or exposed corrosive locations specify a stainless press fitting instead.
7) What is the exact part number to specify for the 3/4 inch MegaPressG cap?
Viega part number 25736. That is the 3/4 inch MegaPressG carbon steel cap with Smart Connect. Quote that number directly rather than describing it, since MegaPress and MegaPressG caps carry different numbers in the same size.
8) Where is the Viega 25736 MegaPressG cap made, and what does it weigh for a parts order?
Made in Germany, and it weighs 0.264 lbs each, which is useful if you are building out a stocking order of press caps for multiple trucks.
