Viega V26025 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does FTG x P mean on the Viega MegaPress 26025 reducer, and which end goes where?
FTG x P describes the two ends of the 26025 reducing fitting: FTG is a fitting-end that slips inside a press fitting or socket of the larger size, and P is a press end that accepts pipe. So the 1-1/2 inch side mates into the next fitting while the 1 inch press end takes the pipe. Worth confirming your run direction before you press, because a press connection is permanent once the jaw closes.
2) Can the Viega MegaPress 26025 be used on black iron / carbon steel pipe?
Yes. The 26025 reducer is carbon steel, which is the MegaPress line made for black steel pipe rather than copper. Use it with copper press or PEX systems and you have the wrong material family.
3) Does the MegaPress 26025 need threading or welding to install?
No. It is a press fitting, so the joint is made cold with a press tool and the correct jaw for the size, no threading, no cutting oil, no hot work. That is the main reason crews pick MegaPress for occupied buildings where a welding permit is a problem.
4) What size reduction does Viega 26025 make?
It steps 1-1/2 inch down to 1 inch. Overall it runs 4.157 inches long with a 1.902 inch height and width, so allow that much space in a tight chase or between hangers.
5) Is Viega 26025 the same as model 4815.1?
Same part. 26025 is the order number and 4815.1 is Viega's model designation for this carbon steel MegaPress reducer. If a submittal or takeoff lists 4815.1 at 1-1/2 x 1, 26025 is what you order.
6) What is Smart Connect on this Viega fitting?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature on the 26025 MegaPress reducer that makes an unpressed connection detectable during pressure testing, so an inspector or installer can find a joint that was missed before the system goes into service. It is a verification aid, not a substitute for pressing every joint.
7) How heavy is the Viega 26025 reducer, and where is it made?
It weighs 0.793 lbs and is made in Germany. Light enough that a reduction in an overhead run does not need its own support beyond normal hanger spacing.
