Viega 28655 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does P x FTG mean on the Viega 28655 MegaPressG 45 degree elbow?
P x FTG means one end is a press socket and the other is a fitting (street) end. The press end accepts 4 inch carbon steel pipe; the FTG end is sized to slip into another 4 inch press socket, so you can run fitting to fitting without an extra length of pipe. That is what makes it a street elbow rather than a standard 45.
2) Can I press the Viega 28655 onto 4 inch copper or stainless pipe?
No. The 28655 is carbon steel and is made for carbon steel (black iron) pipe. Copper runs take copper press fittings and stainless runs take stainless press fittings; the sealing element and jaw profile are not interchangeable across those materials.
3) What is Smart Connect on this Viega press fitting and why does it matter on the job?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed joint leaks under test pressure so it gets found during pressure testing instead of after the wall is closed. On a 4 inch gas line that is the difference between catching a missed crimp at test and chasing it later.
4) Do I need a thread or weld adapter to tie this 45 into existing 4 inch black pipe?
Not for the press end, which goes straight onto prepared 4 inch carbon steel pipe. The other end is an FTG street end, so it inserts into the press socket of another 4 inch MegaPressG fitting. If you need to land on a flange or a threaded valve, you need a separate press by thread or press by flange adapter in the same 4 inch MegaPressG line.
5) Why use a 45 degree street elbow instead of two regular 45s and a nipple?
A street 45 combines one press socket and one fitting end, so it couples directly into the next fitting. On a 4 inch carbon steel run that removes a short pipe cut, two prep operations and one press from the offset, which matters when the 4 inch tool and jaw are slow to reset in a crowded ceiling.
