Viega 28700 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPressG 28700 tee fit?
The 28700 MegaPressG tee is a 3 inch x 3 inch x 2-1/2 inch reducing tee. The run is 3 inch on both ends and the branch takes 2-1/2 inch pipe, so you can pull a 2-1/2 inch branch off a 3 inch main without an extra reducer.
2) Is the Viega 28700 tee a press fitting or does it need to be welded or threaded?
It's a press fitting. All three outlets are press connections (P1 x P2 x P3), so the joints are made cold with a press tool and jaws sized for the fitting. No welding, threading, or flame on the pipe.
3) What is MegaPressG rated for, gas or water?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated carbon steel press system, which is what the G designates, and the 28700 is a carbon steel MegaPressG tee. Carbon steel press fittings are used on black iron pipe systems, not on potable water, where copper or stainless press is used instead.
4) What does Smart Connect do on a Viega MegaPressG fitting?
Smart Connect is the feature built into the 28700 tee's sealing element that lets an unpressed joint leak intentionally during pressure testing, so an installer finds the missed connection on test instead of after the system is closed in. It's a verification aid, not part of the seal in service.
5) Can I mix a carbon steel MegaPressG tee into a copper or stainless press run?
No. The 28700 is carbon steel and belongs in a carbon steel press system. Joining it directly to copper invites galvanic corrosion, so transitions between materials need a proper dielectric or threaded transition fitting rather than pressing dissimilar systems together.
6) What part number do I give my supplier for the 3 x 3 x 2-1/2 MegaPressG tee?
Order Viega part number 28700. That number covers the MegaPressG carbon steel tee in 3 inch x 3 inch x 2-1/2 inch.
7) Where is the Viega 28700 tee manufactured?
Made in Germany. That matters on public and institutional work where country of origin has to be documented in the submittal package.
