Viega 26051 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Viega 26051 carbon steel elbow on copper tubing?
No. The 26051 is a carbon steel press fitting sized for steel pipe, not copper tube. For copper you need a copper press fitting such as Viega's ProPress line. Mixing a steel fitting onto copper also sets up a dissimilar metal joint you do not want in a piping system.
2) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 26051 and why does an installer care?
Smart Connect is the feature built into the sealing element that intentionally leaks at an unpressed connection during pressure test. On a gas line that is the point: you find the joint you missed before the system is charged, instead of after. It does not change how the 26051 is pressed, only how an unpressed joint shows itself.
3) How much clearance do I need to install the Viega 26051 street elbow in a tight chase?
The fitting itself measures 1.264 by 3.189 by 2.736 inches, so plan the chase around that envelope plus room to get the press jaw fully around the socket. The street end helps here, since it eliminates the short pipe nipple a standard P x P elbow would need between two fittings.
4) When should I use a street elbow instead of a regular 90 degree press elbow?
Use the street version, like the Viega 26051, when you are coming off another fitting and have no room for a pipe nipple between the two. Its FTG end inserts into the next fitting's press socket directly. If you are joining two lengths of pipe, a standard elbow with press sockets on both ends is the right part instead.
5) Is the Viega 26051 made in the USA?
Yes, the 26051 MegaPressG elbow is made in the USA, which matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
