Viega 28605 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Viega MegaPressG 28605 elbow be used on gas piping?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas line press system, and the 28605 is the 3 inch 90 degree elbow in it. It's carbon steel with Smart Connect technology, the feature that leaves an unpressed joint visibly leaking during pressure test so an installer can find it before the system is charged. Note the G: MegaPress (no G) fittings use a different sealing element and are the water and hydronic version. Don't mix the two on a gas run.
2) What size pipe does the Viega 28605 press elbow fit?
It's a 3 inch by 3 inch fitting, so both ends take 3 inch carbon steel pipe. Connection type is P1 x P2, meaning press on both ends, no threading and no welding at either connection.
3) What part number do I order for a Viega MegaPressG 3 inch 90 degree elbow?
Order Viega part 28605. It's a single configuration, carbon steel, 3 x 3 inch, press by press, made in Germany, so there's no finish or end-option to specify with it.
4) Is the Viega 28605 elbow OK to use on a copper or PEX system?
No. It's a carbon steel press fitting sized for 3 inch carbon steel pipe. Copper tube takes a copper press system (Viega ProPress), and PEX takes a PEX press system. Putting a carbon steel MegaPressG fitting on anything but steel pipe is the wrong material and the wrong press profile.
5) Will a carbon steel press elbow rust on an exposed gas line?
The 28605 is uncoated carbon steel, same as the black steel pipe it presses onto, so it behaves like the rest of the run. Indoor and dry, that's normal practice. Outdoors or anywhere it will see moisture, treat the fitting like the pipe and paint or wrap it after the joint is pressed and tested.
