Viega 26800 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe and branch does the Viega MegaPress 26800 branch connector serve?
The MegaPress 26800 press-in branch connector works on 1-1/2 inch carbon steel pipe and gives you a 3/4 inch female NPT branch. The connection arrangement is press by female pipe thread, so the body presses onto the run and the branch is threaded.
2) Can I press a MegaPress branch connector onto black iron pipe instead of cutting and threading a tee in?
That is exactly what the 26800 is for. It is a carbon steel press-in branch fitting that lands on an existing 1-1/2 inch carbon steel run, so you take a branch off a live line without threading or welding. The 3/4 inch outlet is female NPT, so you thread your branch nipple or valve straight into it.
3) Is the Viega 26800 branch connector suitable for a galvanized or copper line?
No. It is a carbon steel MegaPress fitting sized for 1-1/2 inch carbon steel pipe. For copper tube you need a copper press system fitting, and for stainless you need the stainless version. Matching the fitting material to the pipe material matters for both sealing and galvanic corrosion.
4) What does the 3/4 inch FPT outlet on the MegaPress 26800 let me connect?
A female 3/4 inch NPT outlet accepts any male-threaded 3/4 inch nipple, valve, drop, gauge adapter, or threaded-to-press adapter. So you can branch to a gas drop, a sprinkler arm-over, or a threaded riser without needing a second press connection on the branch side.
5) How much does the Viega 26800 branch connector weigh for a parts order?
Each 26800 weighs 0.454 lbs. It is a single-piece carbon steel fitting made in Germany, ordered by model number 26800.
