Viega 26035 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Viega MegaPress 26035 reducer work on black iron / carbon steel pipe, or is it for copper?
The 26035 is a carbon steel MegaPress fitting, so it is made for carbon steel pipe systems (black iron schedule pipe), not copper. Copper and copper alloy lines take a different press system. The fitting body material is carbon steel throughout.
2) What do the FTG x P ends on the Viega 26035 mean for how I install it?
FTG x P means one end is a fitting end and the other is a press end. The FTG (street) end slips into the socket of another press fitting, and the P end receives pipe and gets crimped with the press tool. That combination lets you join directly to another fitting without adding a short nipple between them.
3) How much space do I need to fit the Viega 26035 reducer in a tight chase?
The fitting measures 4.488 inches in length with a 2.374 inch height and 2.374 inch width. Allow for that envelope plus the clearance your press tool jaw needs around the press end before you commit to a tight joist bay or wall chase.
4) Do I still need a press tool for the Viega MegaPress 26035, or can it be threaded or welded?
The press end has to be crimped with a MegaPress-compatible press tool and the correct jaw or ring for the size. There is no thread on either end, and a carbon steel press fitting is not a weld fitting. The FTG end is a slip-in connection to another press fitting socket, so that joint is pressed too.
5) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 26035 and why does it matter on a punch list?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed fitting leaks deliberately during pressure test so you find the joint you missed instead of discovering it after the walls close. On a large carbon steel run that is the difference between one test cycle and a callback.
6) How do I make sure I am ordering the right Viega MegaPress reducer?
Order by Viega part number 26035, the 2 inch x 1 inch carbon steel reducer with FTG x P ends. Viega's carbon steel reducers come in many size pairings with different end combinations, so the number plus the FTG x P callout is what keeps a 2 x 1 street-by-press from being swapped for a press-by-press.
7) Where is the Viega 26035 MegaPress fitting made, and how much does it weigh for takeoff?
Made in Germany, and it weighs 1.047 lbs each. That weight is worth noting on larger carbon steel assemblies when you are sizing hangers and support spacing around a reducing branch.
