Viega 26840 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I take a 3/4 inch branch off 2-1/2 inch black steel pipe without cutting or welding the main?
That is exactly what the 26840 press-in branch connector is for. It presses onto the 2-1/2 inch carbon steel main at a drilled opening, so you do not have to cut the run out and weld or thread a tee in. The 3/4 inch outlet is female pipe thread, so you continue the branch with a threaded male nipple or a threaded-to-press adapter.
2) Do I need a press tool for the Viega MegaPress 26840, or can it be installed with hand tools?
The run side is a press connection, so it requires a press tool with the correct MegaPress jaw or ring for the 2-1/2 inch size. No torch, no threading machine, and no welding on the main. Only the 3/4 inch FPT branch is made up with pipe dope or tape and a wrench.
3) Will the 3/4 inch outlet on the Viega 26840 accept a standard threaded nipple or sprinkler drop?
Yes. The branch is 3/4 inch female pipe thread, so any standard 3/4 inch NPT male end threads straight in, whether that is a nipple, a gauge, a drain valve, or a threaded adapter to press or CPVC.
