Viega 26715 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPress 26715 reducer fit?
The Viega MegaPress 26715 is a 2-1/2 inch x 2 inch reducing fitting for carbon steel pipe. The connection is FTG x P, meaning one end is a fitting-size (FTG) end that slips into another MegaPress 2-1/2 inch press socket, and the other is a 2 inch press end that receives the pipe.
2) Can I use a MegaPress carbon steel fitting on copper or stainless pipe?
No. The 26715 is a carbon steel press fitting and is intended for carbon steel pipe. For copper tube you need a copper press system fitting, and for stainless you need a stainless press fitting. Mixing a carbon steel fitting onto copper or stainless is a material mismatch.
3) What does FTG x P mean on a MegaPress reducer?
FTG is the fitting end: it is sized like pipe on the outside so it presses into the 2-1/2 inch socket of another MegaPress fitting. P is the press end, which accepts 2 inch pipe. So the 26715 steps a 2-1/2 inch fitting outlet down to a 2 inch pipe run without an extra coupling.
4) Is the Viega 26715 a threaded or grooved reducer?
Neither. It is a press-connect reducer: both ends are made up cold with a press tool, no threading, no grooving, no welding. That is the appeal on black iron gas and hydronic work where hot work permits are a problem.
5) What is the Smart Connect feature on the Viega 26715 for?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature on the MegaPress 26715. An unpressed joint will leak noticeably during pressure testing rather than hold, so the installer finds the missed press on test instead of after the ceiling is closed.
6) Where is the Viega MegaPress 26715 made, and how much does it weigh?
Made in Germany, and the fitting weighs 1.492 lbs. Useful if you are pricing freight on a bulk order or figuring hanger spacing around a cluster of large-diameter fittings.
