Viega 28730 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three connections on the Viega 28730 MegaPressG tee?
The 28730 is a reducing tee with two 3 inch press ends on the run and a 3/4 inch female pipe thread outlet on the branch. Viega lists the connection pattern as P1 x P2 x FPT, so the two large ends press onto 3 inch pipe and the branch takes a male-threaded nipple, valve, or gauge adapter.
2) Is the Viega 28730 tee for gas lines or water?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated carbon steel press line, and the 28730 is a MegaPressG tee. It is intended for fuel gas service on black iron pipe, not for potable water, which runs on copper or stainless press systems instead.
3) I need a 3/4 inch branch off a 3 inch gas main for an appliance drop. Is this the right fitting?
That is exactly what the 28730 does. The 3 inch run presses into the main and the 3/4 inch female threaded branch takes a nipple down to the appliance drop or a shutoff valve. If you want the branch pressed rather than threaded, you need the all-press version of the tee instead, not this one.
4) What does Smart Connect technology on the Viega 28730 actually do for me on the job?
Smart Connect is the feature Viega builds into the sealing element so an unpressed connection leaks visibly during pressure testing. On a 3 inch gas main with a lot of joints, that is how you find the one fitting the crew missed before the system is closed up.
5) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 28730 tee in a tight ceiling space?
Plan the opening around 7.48 inches long, 5.378 inches wide, and 5.193 inches high for the fitting body, plus clearance for the press jaw or ring to swing around a 3 inch connection. At 3.097 lbs it also needs supporting while you press, not hanging on the pipe.
6) Is the Viega 28730 tee corrosion protected, or does carbon steel need coating?
The fitting body is carbon steel, matching the black iron pipe it presses onto. Like the pipe, it is for dry interior gas service and is not a stainless or copper fitting, so anything exposed to weather or wet conditions needs the same protection you would give the pipe run itself.
