Viega 26010 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does FTG x P mean on the Viega MegaPress 26010 reducer?
FTG x P describes the two ends of the 26010 reducer. The FTG end is a fitting end sized to slip into the press socket of another MegaPress fitting, and the P end is a press socket that accepts pipe. That lets you drop from 1 inch to 3/4 inch without adding a separate coupling, so one fewer press connection in the run.
2) Can I use the Viega 26010 carbon steel MegaPress fitting on black iron gas or hydronic pipe?
It is a carbon steel press fitting, which is the material family made for black steel pipe systems such as natural gas, hydronic heating and compressed air. It is not a copper or bronze fitting, so do not put it on a potable water line where copper press would be specified.
3) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPress 26010 reduce between?
One inch on the large side, 3/4 inch on the small side. Order it when you are stepping a 1 inch carbon steel run down to a 3/4 inch branch or drop.
4) How much room do I need around the Viega 26010 reducer to get the press tool jaw on it?
The fitting measures 3.244 inches long with a 1.492 inch height and 1.492 inch width, so the body itself is compact. The limiting factor is the press jaw, not the fitting, so lay out roughly a jaw width of clearance at the press socket before you commit the run tight to a wall or joist.
5) What is Smart Connect on Viega MegaPress fittings and does it change how I install them?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: before pressing, the fitting is intentionally allowed to leak during pressure test so an unpressed joint shows itself instead of hiding in a wall. It does not change the installation steps, you still cut, deburr, mark insertion depth, and press.
6) Is the Viega 26010 a threaded fitting?
No threads on it. Both ends are press type, FTG on one side and a press socket on the other, so it is installed with a press tool and the correct jaw, not with pipe dope and a wrench. If you need to transition to threaded pipe you need a separate press by NPT adapter.
7) What is the manufacturer part number for the Viega 1 inch x 3/4 inch MegaPress carbon steel reducer?
Viega part number 26010. Quote that number when matching an existing submittal or restocking a van, since MegaPress reducers run in close numeric sequence by size and the adjacent numbers are different size combinations.
8) How much does the Viega MegaPress 26010 reducer weigh for a parts order?
0.397 lbs each, carbon steel body made in Germany. Useful if you are pricing out a box quantity for a riser or figuring hanger loads on a long reduced run.
