Viega 26710 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Viega MegaPress 26710 reducer connect?
The MegaPress 26710 reduces 2-1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch. It is a carbon steel fitting, so it is meant for carbon steel pipe runs where you need to step a 2-1/2 inch line down to 1-1/2 inch.
2) What does FTG x P mean on the Viega 26710 reducer, and will both ends press?
Only one end presses. The 26710 is FTG x P: the FTG end is a fitting end sized to slip into the press socket of another MegaPress fitting, and the P end is a press socket that receives 1-1/2 inch pipe and gets crimped. So you do not get two pipe sockets here. If your 2-1/2 inch side is plain pipe rather than an existing fitting socket, this is the wrong end configuration for that joint.
3) Can I use a carbon steel MegaPress reducer on copper or PEX?
No. The 26710 is a carbon steel fitting built for carbon steel pipe. Copper and PEX take entirely different Viega systems, and a carbon steel press fitting on copper is a dissimilar metal joint you do not want in a piping system. Match the fitting material to the pipe material.
4) How much room do I need around the Viega 26710 press fitting to get a tool jaw on it?
The fitting itself measures 5.165 inches long and 2.874 inches in both height and width, so plan your clearance from that envelope plus whatever your press jaw and actuator need to swing. In a tight ceiling or a joist bay, take those numbers off the pipe centerline before you commit to the layout.
5) What is the Viega part number to order for the 2-1/2 by 1-1/2 MegaPress carbon steel reducer?
Order Viega 26710. That is the manufacturer part number for the carbon steel MegaPress reducer with Smart Connect technology in 2-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch, FTG x P.
6) Where is the Viega 26710 MegaPress fitting manufactured?
It is made in Germany. That matters on submittal packages where country of origin has to be declared, so you can list it without chasing the manufacturer for a letter.
