Viega 26006 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does FTG x P mean on the Viega 26006 MegaPressG fitting?
FTG x P is the connection callout on the 26006. The FTG end is a fitting-end that slips inside the socket of another press fitting, and the P end is a press socket that receives 1/2 inch pipe. So you are pressing at both ends, no threading and no welding on the joint.
2) Is the Viega 26006 MegaPressG reducer 1 inch to 1/2 inch?
Yes, the 26006 reduces 1 inch to 1/2 inch. Ordering note: with an FTG x P configuration the 1 inch side is the fitting end that inserts into another press socket, and the 1/2 inch side is the press socket. If your 1 inch run terminates in a plain pipe end rather than a fitting socket, this is not the piece you want.
3) Can I mix Viega MegaPressG carbon steel fittings with copper press fittings on the same run?
No. The 26006 is a carbon steel press fitting sized for carbon steel pipe. Copper press systems use different socket geometry and a different sealing element, and joining dissimilar metals directly invites galvanic corrosion. Where a carbon steel run has to meet copper, transition through a threaded dielectric union rather than trying to press across the two systems.
4) What is the Smart Connect feature on Viega MegaPressG fittings actually for?
Smart Connect is a deliberate leak path built into the sealing element so an unpressed joint weeps during pressure testing instead of hiding until the system is in service. On a gas or fuel line that is the difference between finding a missed press at test and finding it in an occupied building. It does not replace pressing the joint, it only makes a missed one visible.
5) What part number do I give my supplier for the Viega 1 inch by 1/2 inch MegaPressG reducer?
Viega model 26006. That is the MegaPressG carbon steel reducer in 1 inch by 1/2 inch with an FTG x P connection. One model covers this size combination, so there is no finish or option suffix to specify.
