Viega 26580 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPress 26580 tee connect?
The 26580 is a reducing tee sized 2-1/2 inch x 2-1/2 inch x 2 inch, so the run is 2-1/2 inch on both ends with a 2 inch branch outlet. All three ends are press connections (P1 x P2 x P3), no threading or welding at any port.
2) Is the MegaPress 26580 tee meant for black iron pipe or copper?
It is a carbon steel fitting, made for press connections onto black iron and carbon steel pipe. It is not a copper fitting, so for copper tube you want a copper press tee instead of this one.
3) Do I need to thread or weld pipe when branching a 2-1/2 inch black steel line with this tee?
No cutting oil, no threading dies, no hot work. Each of the three ports is a press socket, so you cut the pipe square, deburr, mark the insertion depth, and press. That is the reason crews use MegaPress on occupied buildings where a welding permit or open flame is a problem.
4) Can I press a 2-1/2 inch MegaPress tee with the same tool I use for 1/2 to 2 inch?
No. The 26580 covers 2-1/2 inch run with a 2 inch branch, and the larger MegaPress sizes above 2 inch use larger press jaws and rings rather than the standard small-size jaw set. Plan on the large-diameter tool and ring/actuator combination for the 2-1/2 inch ends, plus the correct jaw for the 2 inch branch.
5) How much clearance do I need to fit the 26580 MegaPress tee in a tight mechanical room?
The fitting body measures 7.953 inches long, 5.866 inches wide and 3.543 inches high, and it weighs 3.251 lbs. Add room around that for the press ring and actuator jaw to close on each socket, which needs more working space than the fitting footprint alone.
6) What does Smart Connect do on this Viega press tee?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed joint deliberately leaks during pressure testing so the installer can find the socket that was missed before the system goes into service. On a three-port fitting like the 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 2 tee that matters, since it is easy to press two sockets and walk away from the third.
7) What part number should I order for a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 2 MegaPress carbon steel tee?
Viega part number 26580. It is a single-configuration item, one size and one material, so there is no finish or seal option to choose on the order.
8) Is the Viega 26580 tee made in the USA?
It is manufactured in Germany. Buyers with domestic-preference or Buy American requirements on a project should note that before specifying it.
