Viega 26116 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the "street" in Viega 26116 MegaPressG 45 degree street elbow mean, and do I need a coupling?
Street means one end is a male fitting end instead of a press socket. The 26116 is P x FTG: one press end (P) that accepts 1-1/4 inch pipe, and one FTG end sized to slip into the press socket of another MegaPressG fitting. So you can go straight from pipe into the elbow and then directly into the next fitting without a separate coupling, which saves a joint and tightens up the turn.
2) Is the Viega 26116 elbow for gas lines or for water?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated press line, and the 26116 carbon steel 45 degree street elbow is part of it. The G designation and the yellow sealing element are what distinguish MegaPressG fittings from standard MegaPress water fittings, so if your run is a fuel gas line in black iron pipe, this is the family to press with.
3) Will the Viega 26116 press onto standard 1-1/4 inch black iron pipe?
Yes. MegaPressG carbon steel fittings press onto black iron, which is Schedule 10 through Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe, and the 26116 is the 1-1/4 inch size. It is carbon steel throughout, so it matches the pipe material rather than introducing a dissimilar metal at the joint.
4) What is Smart Connect on this Viega press elbow and why does it matter on a gas job?
Smart Connect is a feature built into the sealing element of the 26116 that lets an unpressed connection leak visibly during pressure testing. On a gas install where every joint has to be proven, that is how you find the one fitting the crew walked past before the line is buried or closed in.
5) Can I thread the Viega 26116 onto a threaded pipe nipple?
No. Neither end of the 26116 is threaded. One end is a press socket and the other is an FTG male end that fits into another press fitting, so both connections are made with a press tool and the correct 1-1/4 inch jaw. To get onto existing threaded pipe you need a MegaPressG adapter fitting with an NPT end instead.
6) How much space does the Viega 26116 take up in a tight ceiling cavity?
Overall the fitting measures 5.461 inches long, 3.768 inches wide and 2.205 inches high, and it weighs 1.058 lbs. Those numbers are the envelope to check against your cavity, and you also need to allow clearance for the press jaw to close squarely around the press end.
