Viega 28645 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does P x FTG mean on the Viega 28645 MegaPressG 45 degree elbow?
The Viega 28645 is a street elbow: one end is a press socket (P) that receives 2-1/2 inch pipe, and the other end is fitting-sized (FTG), meaning it is sized to slip into the press socket of another 2-1/2 inch MegaPress fitting. That lets you make a 45 degree offset without adding a short nipple between two fittings.
2) Is the MegaPressG 28645 elbow for gas or for water lines?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated press system, and the 28645 is a MegaPressG carbon steel fitting, so it is intended for black iron gas piping rather than potable water. Carbon steel fittings are not used on potable water lines.
3) What pipe does the Viega 28645 press elbow go on?
It presses onto 2-1/2 inch carbon steel (black iron) pipe. The fitting body itself is carbon steel, so it matches the pipe material it is joining, and both ends are 2-1/2 inch.
4) How much clearance do I need to fit a 2-1/2 inch MegaPressG 45 degree street elbow in a tight chase?
Plan around an overall footprint of 7.689 inches long, 5.555 inches wide, and 3.543 inches high for the 28645. On top of that you need swing room for the press jaw or ring and actuator at the press end, so a chase sized only to the fitting body will not work.
5) What is Smart Connect technology on this Viega press fitting?
Smart Connect is the feature designed into the sealing element of the 28645 that lets an unpressed connection be identified during pressure testing, so a missed joint shows itself before the system is put in service rather than after.
6) Should I use a 45 degree street elbow or a standard 45 elbow for an offset?
Use the street version, like the 28645, when you want to couple directly into another press fitting or run two 45s back to back for a close offset: its FTG end slips into a press socket, so you save a nipple and a joint. A standard press x press 45 is the one you want when both sides of the turn are plain pipe.
