Viega 26880 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPress 26880 branch connector tap into, and what is the outlet?
The 26880 MegaPress press-in branch connector is a 4 inch x 3/4 inch fitting: it presses onto a 4 inch carbon steel main and gives you a 3/4 inch female threaded outlet. The connection type is P x FPT, so the run side is the MegaPress press joint and the branch side takes male pipe thread.
2) Can I use the MegaPress 26880 to add a 3/4 inch branch without cutting the 4 inch main apart?
That is exactly what a press-in branch connector does. Instead of cutting out a section of the 4 inch line and installing a reducing tee, you drill the main and press the 26880 onto it, leaving a 3/4 inch FPT outlet for your branch. The pipe stays in place, so you only take the system down for the drill and the press.
3) Is the Viega 26880 branch connector for copper or for steel pipe?
Steel. MegaPress is the carbon steel side of the Viega press system, and the 26880 is a carbon steel fitting made for black iron and carbon steel pipe. Do not put it on copper tube, that is a different press system and a different seal.
4) How much clearance do I need around the 4 inch pipe to install the 26880 press branch connector?
The fitting body itself is small, 1.693 x 1.693 inches with a height of 1.654 inches off the pipe, and it weighs 0.445 lbs. What governs the install is the press tool and ring you swing around it, so plan clearance for the jaw, not just the fitting. In a tight ceiling or a pipe close to a wall, check the tool sweep before you drill the main.
5) Does the 26880 outlet take a threaded nipple or do I have to press the branch line too?
The outlet is 3/4 inch female pipe thread, so you thread straight into it with a standard 3/4 inch MPT nipple, valve, or gauge adapter. Only the connection to the 4 inch main is a press joint. That makes it a practical point to hang a drain, a gauge, a sensor well, or a small takeoff on an existing main.
