Viega 26040 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPress 26040 reducing fitting press onto?
The Viega 26040 is a 2 inch x 1-1/4 inch MegaPress carbon steel reducer, so it transitions a 2 inch run down to 1-1/4 inch. Both ends are sized for black iron / carbon steel pipe in those nominal sizes.
2) What does the FTG x P connection on the Viega 26040 mean for how it installs?
FTG x P means one end is fitting-size (it slips INTO the next press fitting or socket) and the other end is a press socket that accepts the pipe. So the 2 inch FTG end goes into another 2 inch MegaPress fitting rather than over pipe, and the 1-1/4 inch press end goes over 1-1/4 inch pipe. Get that orientation wrong on the layout and the fitting will not land.
3) Is the Viega 26040 a tee or a straight reducing coupling?
It is catalogued as a reducer with an FTG x P connection, a two-end 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch size change, not a three-outlet branch fitting. If you need a branch off a 2 inch main, you want a reducing tee rather than this part.
4) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 26040 MegaPress reducer in a tight chase?
The fitting measures 4.835 inches in length and 2.374 inches across in both height and width. Allow for press jaw clearance around the 2.374 inch body as well, since the tool has to seat squarely on the press socket.
5) What is Smart Connect on a Viega MegaPress fitting and why does it matter on a jobsite?
Smart Connect is the feature built into Viega press fittings that leaks visibly when a connection has been left unpressed, so an inspector or a pressure test finds the miss instead of a wall covering it. On a 2 inch x 1-1/4 inch carbon steel reducer buried in a mechanical run, that is the difference between catching one missed crimp and chasing it later.
6) Where is the Viega 26040 MegaPress reducer made?
Made in Germany. For procurement files that track origin on mechanical fittings, that is the stated country of origin for the 26040.
