Viega 28630 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Viega 28630 a press fitting or does it need to be threaded or welded?
It's a press fitting on both ends. Both ports are press (P1 x P2), so the joint is made cold with a press tool and the correct 2-1/2 inch jaw or ring, no threading, no welding, no open flame. That is the main reason crews use MegaPressG on gas work in occupied buildings.
2) Can I use a MegaPressG carbon steel elbow on a water line, or is it gas only?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated press system, and the 28630 is the carbon steel 2-1/2 inch 45 degree elbow in it. For water service Viega uses the MegaPress line rather than MegaPressG, so match the system to the medium and don't mix sealing elements between the two.
3) What does Smart Connect technology actually do on this Viega elbow?
Smart Connect is the feature built into the fitting that lets an unpressed connection leak detectably during pressure testing, so the installer finds the missed joint before the system is buttoned up and covered. On a 2-1/2 inch 45 degree elbow buried in a ceiling run, that's the difference between finding the fault at test and finding it after drywall.
4) Will this press elbow work on galvanized or stainless pipe?
No. The 28630 is a carbon steel fitting sized for 2-1/2 inch carbon steel (black iron) pipe. For stainless or copper runs you need the press fitting built for that material, since the fitting body metal has to match the pipe to avoid a dissimilar metal joint.
5) Do I need anything besides the fitting to install it?
The elbow ships as the fitting with its sealing element already installed; nothing is threaded or soldered. You supply the press tool and the 2-1/2 inch jaw or press ring rated for MegaPressG, plus properly cut and deburred pipe marked to full insertion depth. No pipe dope, no tape, no cutting oil in the joint.
