Viega 26036 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPressG 26036 reducer fit?
The 26036 MegaPressG reducer is a 2 inch x 1 inch fitting, so it takes you from 2 inch carbon steel pipe down to 1 inch. Connection configuration is FTG x P, meaning one end is a fitting-end (street) that inserts into another 2 inch press fitting or socket, and the other is a 1 inch press socket that receives the pipe.
2) Can I use the Viega 26036 MegaPressG fitting on gas lines?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated press system for black iron and carbon steel pipe, and the 26036 is a MegaPressG carbon steel reducer with Smart Connect technology. Smart Connect is the feature that leaves an unpressed connection deliberately leaking during pressure test, so an installer can find any joint that was missed before the system is put in service.
3) Will FTG x P work where I need two press sockets instead?
No. The 26036 is configured FTG x P, so the 2 inch end is a fitting (street) end sized to go into another 2 inch press socket, not to accept 2 inch pipe. If you are joining two cut pipe ends, you need a reducer with press sockets on both ends rather than this street-end version.
4) Is the Viega MegaPressG 26036 copper or steel, and can I use it on copper tube?
It is carbon steel, intended for carbon steel and black iron pipe. Do not use it on copper tube or stainless; those systems use Viega's ProPress and ProPress stainless lines instead. Mixing a carbon steel fitting onto copper also sets up dissimilar metal contact.
5) How much clearance do I need to install the Viega 26036 reducer?
Lay out roughly 4.488 inches of length and 2.374 inches across (height and width both 2.374 inches) for the fitting body itself. You also need room to get the press jaw around the socket squarely, so plan on more than the fitting footprint in tight chases or next to joists.
6) Does the Viega 26036 press reducer need threading or welding?
No cutting oil, threading, or hot work. MegaPressG joints are made cold with a press tool and the correct jaw for the socket size, which here means a 2 inch jaw on the fitting end and a 1 inch jaw on the press socket. The press tool and jaws are separate purchases, not supplied with the fitting.
7) How heavy is a 2 inch x 1 inch MegaPressG reducer for hanger spacing?
The 26036 weighs 1.047 lbs on its own. That is light enough that support is driven by the pipe run rather than the fitting, but on a 2 inch carbon steel main the fitting still wants a hanger close by so no bending load sits on the pressed joints.
