Viega 28600 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega 28600 MegaPressG elbow take?
The Viega 28600 is a 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch 90 degree elbow, so both ends press onto 2-1/2 inch carbon steel pipe. It is a same-size turn, not a reducing fitting, so if you need to change diameter at the corner you need a different part.
2) Are both ends of the Viega 28600 elbow press ends, or is one threaded?
Both ends are press. The connection type is P1 x P2, meaning press on each side, so the elbow goes onto prepared pipe with a press tool and jaw sized for 2-1/2 inch. There is no threaded or grooved end on this fitting, so if you are tying into threaded pipe you need a press-by-thread adapter at that point.
3) Can I use a MegaPressG carbon steel elbow on gas lines?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated press system, and the 28600 is the 2-1/2 inch 90 degree elbow in that line. It is carbon steel with Smart Connect technology, the feature that leaves an unpressed connection detectable during pressure testing so a missed joint shows up before the system goes live. Standard MegaPress (non-G) fittings are the water and non-gas version and are not interchangeable with MegaPressG on a fuel gas line.
4) Will a MegaPressG carbon steel elbow work on copper or stainless tube?
No. The 28600 is built for carbon steel pipe and its seal and press profile are matched to that. Copper tube takes a copper press system and stainless takes a stainless one; mixing a carbon steel press fitting onto either is not a valid joint.
5) How heavy is a 2-1/2 inch MegaPressG elbow, and does it need support at the joint?
The 28600 weighs 3.306 lbs on its own. That is a meaningful load once it is carrying filled 2-1/2 inch carbon steel pipe on both legs, so hang the runs to either side of the turn rather than letting the elbow take the weight of an unsupported riser or long horizontal.
