Viega 26110 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does P x FTG mean on the Viega MegaPress 26110 45 degree street elbow?
P x FTG means one end is a press socket (P) that goes over the outside of the pipe, and the other end is fitting-size (FTG), sized to slip INTO the press socket of another fitting. That is what makes it a street elbow: you can press it directly into the next fitting without a short cut piece of pipe between them. Both ends on the 26110 are 1 inch.
2) Do I need a special tool to install the Viega 26110 MegaPress elbow?
Yes, it is a press fitting, not threaded or welded. You press the socket end onto 1 inch carbon steel pipe with a press tool and the matching MegaPress jaw or ring for 1 inch. No threading, no cutting oil, no flame, which is why crews use these on occupied buildings and hot-work-restricted jobs.
3) What is Smart Connect on this Viega MegaPress fitting?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature built into the sealing element so an unpressed connection leaks visibly during pressure testing instead of passing inspection and failing later. On a 1 inch carbon steel 45 degree street elbow like the 26110, that is what lets you find a missed joint before the system is buried or insulated.
4) How much space does the Viega 26110 elbow take up in a tight chase?
Published dimensions are 4.409 inches long, 3.094 inches wide and 1.78 inches high, and it weighs 0.677 lbs. The source gives the three dimensions without naming which axis runs with the pipe, so lay it out against your chase before committing. Because it is a street elbow, it also saves you the length of a nipple compared with a standard press x press elbow.
5) Should I use a 45 degree street elbow or a regular 45 press elbow?
Use the street version, like the Viega 26110, when the elbow has to land directly on another fitting, a valve body with a press socket, or into a second elbow for an offset. Its fitting-size end slips into the next press socket, so no nipple is needed. Use a press x press 45 when both legs continue as pipe.
6) Can I thread a 1 inch black iron nipple into the Viega 26110 elbow?
No. Neither end is threaded. The 26110 has a press socket on one side and a fitting-size plain end on the other, so both sides terminate into press connections. To pick up threaded pipe you need a press-by-thread adapter or a MegaPress threaded transition fitting.
7) Where is the Viega 26110 MegaPress elbow manufactured?
Made in Germany. That matters on spec jobs and government work where country of origin has to be documented on the submittal.
