Viega 26066 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Viega 26066 press elbow work on 1-1/4 inch black iron gas pipe?
Yes. The 26066 is a MegaPressG fitting in carbon steel, sized 1-1/4 inch, and MegaPressG is the gas-rated side of the MegaPress line for black iron / carbon steel pipe. Press it with the matching 1-1/4 inch MegaPress jaw on a Viega-approved press tool.
2) Can I use a MegaPressG elbow on copper or stainless tubing?
No. The 26066 is carbon steel with a seal and dimensions made for iron pipe size carbon steel pipe. Copper needs a ProPress copper fitting and stainless needs a stainless press fitting; the sealing element and jaw profile are not interchangeable.
3) What is Smart Connect and why does it matter on a gas line?
Smart Connect is a feature of the sealing element that lets an unpressed connection leak detectably during test, so you find the joint you missed before the system goes into service. On a gas install that is the difference between catching a skipped press at pressure test and finding it later.
4) How much clearance do I need to install the Viega 26066 in a tight chase?
The fitting itself measures 5.138 x 4.705 x 2.205 inches and weighs 1.3 lbs. Plan clearance beyond that for the press jaw to open and rotate around the socket end, which is usually the limiting factor rather than the fitting body.
5) Should I use a street elbow or a regular 90 with a nipple?
Use the street 90, like the 26066, when you need the turn to start immediately at another fitting; it eliminates the cut nipple and one extra press joint. Use a standard press x press 90 when you are joining two runs of pipe, since both ends there are pipe ends, not fitting ends.
6) Is the Viega 26066 elbow made in the USA?
Yes, the 26066 MegaPressG street elbow is made in the USA, which matters on public and institutional work carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
