Viega 26900 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How does the Viega MegaPress 26900 branch connector attach to an existing 2-1/2 inch carbon steel line?
The 26900 is a press-in branch connector: the 2-1/2 inch side presses onto the main carbon steel pipe and the branch comes off as a 3/4 inch female pipe thread. Connection type is listed as P x FPT, so you press one end and thread the other. No welding and no threading of the main required on the press side.
2) Will the Viega 26900 work on copper or stainless pipe?
No. The 26900 is carbon steel and is made for black iron or carbon steel pipe systems. For copper or stainless mains you need the press fitting line built for that material, not this one.
3) Is the MegaPress 26900 a tee or a saddle-style outlet?
It is a branch connector that presses onto the run of a 2-1/2 inch pipe rather than being plumbed in-line, so you do not have to cut and remove a section of the main the way a conventional 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 3/4 reducing tee requires. Functionally it gives you a tee outlet with far less demolition on an existing system.
4) Can I add a 3/4 inch takeoff to a 2-1/2 inch line without draining the whole building?
That is the case the 26900 is built for. Because the connector presses onto the outside of the 2-1/2 inch carbon steel main instead of being cut into it, retrofit work on an occupied building is limited to a short local shutdown rather than cutting, rethreading, or welding a section of the run. Useful for adding a sprinkler drop, a gauge, or a branch to an existing black steel header.
5) Do I need a threaded nipple or adapter to run the 3/4 inch branch off a MegaPress 26900?
The branch outlet is a 3/4 inch female pipe thread, so you thread directly into it with a 3/4 inch male NPT nipple, valve, or adapter. Nothing is included with the fitting for the branch side, and sealant or tape is applied as you would on any NPT joint.
