Viega 26905 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPress 26905 branch connector fit?
The 26905 press-in branch connector is a 3 inch x 3/4 inch fitting: the press side seats onto 3 inch carbon steel pipe and the branch is a 3/4 inch female threaded tap.
2) Is the branch on the Viega 26905 threaded or press?
It's P x FPT. The run connection is pressed onto the pipe and the outlet is female pipe thread, so the branch takes a male-threaded nipple, valve, or gauge rather than another press fitting.
3) Can I use this MegaPress branch connector on copper or PEX?
No. The 26905 is a carbon steel fitting made for carbon steel pipe systems. For copper or PEX you need a different Viega system (ProPress for copper, PureFlow for PEX), not a MegaPress carbon steel fitting.
4) How much room do I need around the pipe to install a 3 inch MegaPress press-in branch connector?
The fitting body measures 1.654 inches high by 1.693 by 1.693 inches, so it sits close to the pipe wall. Plan clearance for the press jaw or chain around the 3 inch pipe rather than for the fitting itself, since the tool is the bigger footprint.
5) Why use a press-in branch connector instead of cutting in a tee on a 3 inch steel line?
A press-in branch like the 26905 lets you add a 3/4 inch threaded tap onto an existing 3 inch carbon steel line without cutting the pipe out, re-threading, or welding. A conventional tee means removing a section of pipe and re-supporting the run. Where you only need a small takeoff for a gauge, drain, sensor, or branch valve, the press-in connector is the less invasive route.
6) Where is the Viega MegaPress 26905 made, and what is the part number I should order?
Order by Viega part number 26905. It is made in Germany.
