Viega 26770 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Viega MegaPress 26770 work on 4 inch carbon steel pipe?
Yes. The 26770 is a 4 inch MegaPress carbon steel fitting, so it is sized and made for 4 inch carbon steel (black iron) pipe. Material and nominal size have to match on a press system, so it is not a fitting for copper tube or stainless lines.
2) Do I need to weld or thread to install the Viega MegaPress 26770, or is it a press connection?
It is a press connection. MegaPress fittings are made up cold with a press tool and the matching 4 inch jaw or ring, so there is no torch, no threading, and no pipe dope on the joint. The pipe gets cut square, deburred, marked for insertion depth, then pressed. That is what makes it the usual choice for retrofit work in an occupied building where hot work permits are a problem.
3) Can I use a MegaPress carbon steel fitting on copper or PEX?
No. Carbon steel MegaPress fittings belong on carbon steel (black iron) pipe only. Copper tube takes Viega's ProPress copper fittings and PEX takes a PureFlow press or crimp system. Mixing a steel press fitting onto copper puts the wrong sealing element and the wrong dimensions on the tube, and the joint is not rated.
4) What does Smart Connect technology actually do on a Viega MegaPress fitting?
Smart Connect is the feature that makes an unpressed joint give itself away. The fitting is built so an uncrimped connection leaks visibly at pressure test instead of holding and failing later, which is how an installer finds the one joint that got missed on a large run. It is a verification aid, not a substitute for pressing every connection.
5) How much room and how much weight does the 4 inch Viega 26770 add to a run?
Figure 4.646 inches of height and 5.193 inches each way on length and width, at 2.707 lbs. On a 4 inch line that matters twice: you need the clear space around the joint for the press jaw to close, and the fitting weight plus the pipe it carries has to land on hangers, not on the fitting.
6) What part number do I give my supplier for the Viega 4 inch MegaPress carbon steel fitting?
Order it as Viega 26770. That is the manufacturer part number, and on a press job it is worth quoting the number rather than a description, because the same nominal size exists across Viega's copper and stainless press lines and only the carbon steel version goes on black iron pipe.
7) Where is the Viega 26770 MegaPress fitting made?
Germany. That is the line institutional and government buyers ask for on a submittal package, along with the manufacturer part number 26770, when country of origin has to be documented for the project.
