Viega 26760 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Viega MegaPress 26760 cap fit 2-1/2 inch black iron pipe?
The MegaPress 26760 is a 2-1/2 inch carbon steel cap, sized to press onto 2-1/2 inch nominal black or carbon steel pipe. It is a press-connect fitting, so the pipe end does not need to be threaded or welded, just cut square, deburred and marked to depth before pressing with the matching 2-1/2 inch MegaPress jaw or ring.
2) What is Smart Connect on this Viega MegaPress cap, and why does it matter on a dead leg?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed connection leak visibly during pressure testing, so a cap that was slipped on but never pressed shows itself instead of being buried in a wall or ceiling. That matters on caps in particular, since a capped stub is easy to set aside and forget during a tie-in.
3) Can I use a press cap instead of a threaded cap to close off a 2-1/2 inch steel line?
Yes, and it is usually the faster call. A threaded cap needs the pipe end threaded, which means a power threader, cutting oil and cleanup on a 2-1/2 inch line, plus dope or tape. The MegaPress 26760 presses onto plain cut pipe in seconds with no flame and no hot work permit, which is why it gets used for capping stubs, abandoning branches and closing test points in occupied buildings. Where you need the cap to come back off repeatedly for service, a threaded cap or a flange is still the better choice, because a pressed joint is permanent.
4) How much clearance do I need around the pipe to press the 2-1/2 inch MegaPress cap?
The cap body itself is small, 3.543 inches across and 3.268 inches high, so the fitting is not the constraint. The clearance you have to plan for is the press tool and the 2-1/2 inch ring with its actuator jaw, which needs room to swing around the pipe. On a cap at a wall or close to a joist, dry-fit the ring before you cut the pipe to length.
5) Is the Viega 26760 cap carbon steel or stainless, and can I use it on a galvanized line?
It is carbon steel, the MegaPress line rather than MegaPressG stainless. Carbon steel MegaPress fittings are used on black and galvanized carbon steel pipe in closed hydronic, chilled water, compressed air and fire protection style services. For potable water or anywhere you need corrosion resistance on an open system, go to a stainless or copper press system instead of this cap.
6) What part number and weight should I put on a 2-1/2 inch MegaPress cap for a submittal?
Order it as Viega MegaPress part number 26760, 2-1/2 inch carbon steel cap, 1.309 lbs each, made in Germany. That is the number to show on the material list; no separate sealing element or insert is ordered with it, the seal comes installed in the fitting.
