Viega 28695 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Viega MegaPressG 28695 tee connect?
The 28695 MegaPressG tee is a reducing tee sized 3 inch x 3 inch x 1-1/4 inch, so the run is 3 inch on both ends with a 1-1/4 inch branch outlet. All three ends are press connections (P1 x P2 x P3), not threaded or grooved, so each one goes onto the pipe and gets crimped with the matching press jaw.
2) Is the Viega 28695 MegaPressG tee for gas or water lines?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated carbon steel press system, so the 28695 tee is the fitting you use on black iron gas piping rather than the plain MegaPress water/hydronic version. The body is carbon steel, which is why it belongs on steel pipe and not on copper or stainless runs.
3) Will a MegaPressG tee work on my existing black iron pipe without threading?
That is the point of it. The 28695 presses directly onto carbon steel pipe, so you cut, clean, mark depth, and crimp instead of threading or welding, which is what makes it workable on an in-service building where you cannot get a pipe wrench or a torch into the space. The 3 inch run ends and the 1-1/4 inch branch all press.
4) Can I use this tee to branch a 1-1/4 inch gas drop off a 3 inch main?
Yes. The 28695 is built exactly for that: 3 inch straight through with a 1-1/4 inch press branch, so it drops a smaller appliance or riser leg off a 3 inch carbon steel main without a bushing stack or a reducer at the outlet.
5) How much clearance do I need around a 3 inch MegaPressG tee to get the press tool on it?
Plan the space from the fitting's own envelope: the 28695 measures 8.071 x 6.724 x 5.193 inches, and the press ring or jaw for a 3 inch connection adds to that on each end. A 3 inch press joint takes an actuator with a press ring rather than a standard jaw, so tight joist bays and close-to-wall runs need checking before you commit the fitting.
6) What is Smart Connect on a Viega press fitting and why does it matter on an inspection?
Smart Connect is the feature built into the 28695 that lets an unpressed joint leak intentionally during pressure test, so the installer and the inspector can find a connection that got missed before the system is charged. On a gas line that is the difference between catching a bad joint at test and finding it later.
7) Where is the Viega 28695 MegaPressG tee made?
Made in Germany. For spec packages and submittals where country of origin has to be declared, that is the value to put on the sheet for the 28695 tee.
