Viega V26115 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the "street" configuration on the Viega 26115 MegaPress 45 degree elbow mean for how I pipe it?
Street means one end presses onto pipe and the other end is a fitting-end (FTG) that slips into the press socket of another fitting. The 26115 is listed P x FTG, so you can go straight fitting-to-fitting without a short nipple between them. Handy when you need to roll 45 degrees immediately off a tee or coupling in a tight chase.
2) Can I press MegaPress carbon steel fittings onto copper or stainless pipe?
No. The 26115 is carbon steel and is intended for black iron / carbon steel pipe systems. For copper tube you need a copper press fitting line, and for stainless you need stainless press fittings. Mixing a carbon steel body onto copper invites galvanic corrosion at the joint.
3) How much room do I need to fit the 1-1/4 inch MegaPress 45 degree street elbow?
The fitting measures 5.461 x 3.768 x 2.205 inches overall. Allow for that envelope plus clearance for the press jaw around the bead when you are working against a wall or between joists, since the tool needs to seat square on the fitting.
4) Should I use a 45 degree street elbow or a standard 45 with a nipple?
Use the street version when the turn has to start right at another fitting. The 26115's FTG end plugs directly into the next fitting's press socket, which removes a nipple and one press joint. A standard press-by-press 45 is the right call when both sides land on pipe runs instead.
5) Does the MegaPress 26115 elbow tell me if the joint is unpressed?
It is built with Viega's Smart Connect feature, which lets water or air escape at an unpressed connection during testing so you can find a missed joint before the system is charged. It does not replace pressing every joint, but it makes the miss visible on test.
6) Do I need to cut threads or weld to install the 26115 elbow?
No. It is a press fitting, so installation is cut, deburr, mark depth, and press with the proper 1-1/4 inch jaw. No threading, no open flame, which is why these get specified for occupied buildings and retrofit work where hot work permits are a problem.
