Viega 28650 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does P x FTG mean on the Viega MegaPressG 28650 45 degree elbow?
P x FTG means one end is a press socket and the other is a street (fitting) end. The press end slips over 3 inch pipe and gets crimped; the FTG end is sized to slip INTO another 3 inch press socket or fitting. That saves you a coupling when you need to change direction right off another fitting.
2) What size pipe does the Viega 28650 45 degree street elbow take?
It is a 3 inch by 3 inch fitting, so both ends work with 3 inch carbon steel pipe. The press side receives 3 inch pipe and the street side inserts into a 3 inch socket.
3) What is Smart Connect on this Viega elbow and why does it matter on a gas line?
Smart Connect is the feature Viega builds into the fitting so an unpressed connection leaks visibly during pressure testing instead of passing inspection and failing later. On a gas install with multiple 3 inch joints, it is how you catch the one fitting that got missed before the wall closes up.
4) Should I use a street elbow or a regular 45 elbow for my 3 inch gas run?
Use the street version, like the 28650, when you are turning directly off another fitting or valve socket, because its FTG end plugs straight in and removes one joint. Use a press-by-press 45 when you are joining two lengths of cut pipe. Fewer joints means fewer presses to verify, which matters on 3 inch work.
5) Do I need anything besides the elbow to make up a 3 inch MegaPressG joint?
The 28650 ships as the fitting only. You still need a press tool with the correct 3 inch MegaPress actuator and ring for carbon steel, plus a deburring and marking setup for the cut pipe. No sealant, no dope, no thread cutting.
6) Where is the Viega MegaPressG 28650 fitting manufactured?
It is made in Germany. That matters on spec jobs where country of origin has to be documented for submittals or procurement rules.
