Viega 26870 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I take a 3/4 inch branch off a 2-1/2 inch black steel main without cutting the pipe or welding?
That is exactly what this fitting is for. The MegaPress 26870 presses onto 2-1/2 inch carbon steel pipe and gives you a 3/4 inch female threaded outlet, so the branch is made with a press tool instead of a weld-o-let or a threaded tee that would require cutting and rethreading the main.
2) Do I need anything else besides the 26870 to finish the branch takeoff?
Two things beyond the fitting itself: a press tool with the correct jaw for a 2-1/2 inch MegaPress connection, and whatever threads into the 3/4 inch FPT outlet, typically a male-thread nipple, valve, or transition adapter. The fitting supplies the press side and the female thread only.
3) Will this Viega press branch connector work on copper or stainless pipe?
No. The 26870 is a carbon steel fitting intended for carbon steel pipe systems. For copper you need a copper press fitting, and for stainless a stainless press fitting; the sealing element and body material are matched to the pipe type.
4) What is the exact part number and origin for the Viega 2-1/2 x 3/4 MegaPress press-in branch connector?
Order it as Viega MegaPress 26870. It is made in Germany and sold as a single carbon steel fitting, 2-1/2 inch press by 3/4 inch FPT.
