Viega 26735 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does FTG x P mean on the Viega MegaPress 26735 reducer?
FTG x P describes the two ends. FTG is a fitting end sized to slip into the socket of another press fitting or onto the outside of a fitting, and P is a press end that receives the pipe. On the 26735 that pairing is 3 inch by 2-1/2 inch, so it steps a 3 inch run down to 2-1/2 inch without an adapter in between.
2) Can I use the Viega 26735 MegaPress fitting on copper or PEX?
No. The 26735 is a carbon steel MegaPress fitting, made for black iron and carbon steel pipe systems. Copper calls for a copper press system and PEX calls for PEX fittings. Putting a carbon steel press fitting on copper tube is a material and sizing mismatch.
3) How much room do I need around the Viega 26735 to get the press tool jaws on it?
Plan your clearance off the fitting body: the 26735 measures 5.535 inches long, 3.5 inches high and 3.5 inches wide. A large-diameter press ring and actuator needs swing room beyond that on every press end, so tight-to-joist or tight-to-wall runs should be laid out with the fitting positioned before the pipe is cut.
4) Is the Viega 26735 a tee or just a reducing coupling?
It is a tee. The 26735 is a MegaPress reducing tee in carbon steel, taking a 3 inch connection down to 2-1/2 inch at the reduced port, with a press end and a fitting end.
5) Do I still need to thread or weld pipe if I use MegaPress carbon steel fittings?
No. The 26735 joins carbon steel pipe with a cold press connection, so there is no threading, no cutting oil and no hot work permit on that joint. You do need the correct press tool and jaw or ring for a 3 inch and 2-1/2 inch carbon steel fitting, which is bought separately.
6) What part number do I order for a 3 inch by 2-1/2 inch MegaPress carbon steel reducing tee?
Viega part number 26735. It is the carbon steel MegaPress reducing tee in the 3 inch by 2-1/2 inch configuration with FTG x P ends.
7) What is the weight of the Viega 26735 for a large press job takeoff?
Each 26735 reducing tee weighs 2.206 lbs. On a large-diameter carbon steel run that matters for hanger spacing and for pricing out freight on a full pallet of fittings.
