Viega 26705 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Viega MegaPress 26705 reducer connect?
The Viega 26705 is a 2-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch carbon steel MegaPress reducing fitting. It takes a 2-1/2 inch run down to a 1-1/4 inch branch connection, so it is the part you use where a larger black iron main feeds a smaller takeoff.
2) What does FTG x P mean on the Viega 26705 MegaPress fitting?
FTG x P means one end is a fitting end and the other is a press end. The fitting (FTG) end is sized to slip into the socket of another fitting, while the P end is a standard MegaPress press connection that goes over the pipe and is crimped with a press tool. Plan your assembly order accordingly, since only one end of the 26705 accepts pipe directly.
3) Do I need a press tool for the Viega 26705, or can it be threaded?
A press tool is required. The 26705 has a press (P) end that is crimped onto the pipe with a compatible press tool and jaw; there is no thread on the fitting. The other end is a fitting (FTG) end that inserts into another socket. If your job is threaded pipe, this is not the fitting for it.
4) Is the Viega 26705 MegaPress reducer suitable for black iron gas or hydronic pipe?
It is a carbon steel MegaPress press fitting, so it is made to join carbon steel pipe such as black iron schedule pipe rather than copper or stainless. Use carbon steel MegaPress fittings with carbon steel pipe systems only; copper lines need the copper press line instead.
5) How much room does the Viega 26705 MegaPress reducer take up in a tight chase?
Overall it runs 5.189 inches long with a 2.874 inch height and 2.874 inch width, and it weighs 1.305 lbs. Those numbers matter when you are laying out a takeoff in a chase or close to structure, since a press fitting also needs clearance around the body for the jaw to close.
6) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 26705, and why does it matter on a large job?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed connection leak during pressure testing so the installer can find it before the system is closed up. On a run with dozens of joints, that is how you catch the one fitting the crew missed. The 26705 carbon steel reducer is a Smart Connect fitting.
7) What is the manufacturer part number for the 2-1/2 x 1-1/4 MegaPress carbon steel reducer, and where is it made?
Viega part number 26705, made in Germany. Order by that number when you are matching an existing MegaPress carbon steel system, since the size and the FTG x P end configuration both ride on that single part number.
