Viega V26046 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I press the Viega 26046 onto Schedule 40 black iron gas pipe with my existing press tool?
Yes, the MegaPressG carbon steel reducer presses onto standard black iron pipe in the nominal sizes marked, 2 inch on the FTG end and 1-1/2 inch on the press end. It requires Viega MegaPress pressing jaws or rings in the matching 2 inch and 1-1/2 inch sizes, which are sold separately from the fitting.
2) What are the two ends on the Viega 26046 reducer, and which pipe does each take?
The connection type is FTG x P. The 2 inch end is a fitting (FTG) end sized to slip inside a 2 inch press socket, and the 1-1/2 inch end is a press (P) socket that goes over 1-1/2 inch black iron pipe. So it steps a 2 inch run down to 1-1/2 inch without needing a separate coupling at the large end.
3) What does Smart Connect do on the Viega 26046 press fitting?
Smart Connect is the feature designed into the sealing element so an unpressed connection leaks noticeably during pressure testing. On a gas line that matters, because it lets you find a missed joint at test rather than after the wall is closed. It does not replace pressing every joint.
4) How much room do I need to fit the 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch MegaPressG reducer in a tight chase?
The reducer measures 4.819 inches long with a 2.437 inch height and 2.437 inch width, and weighs 1.289 lbs. Add clearance beyond that for the press jaw to swing around the socket, which is the limiting factor in a tight chase rather than the fitting itself.
5) Can I use the 26046 MegaPressG reducer to transition from 2 inch to 1-1/2 inch on a branch tee?
Yes, that is its purpose. It is a reducer, not a tee itself, so it installs in line: press the 1-1/2 inch socket onto the 1-1/2 inch pipe, then insert the 2 inch FTG end into the 2 inch socket of the tee or coupling at the larger run. You still need the 2 inch tee as a separate fitting.
6) Is the Viega 26046 carbon steel reducer okay to use outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The body is carbon steel, the same base material as the black iron pipe it presses onto, so it behaves like that pipe does: fine in dry interior mechanical spaces, and it will rust if left wet or exposed. Protect or coat it the way you would the rest of a black iron gas run in that location.
