Viega 28740 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How does the Viega 28740 MegaPressG adapter connect on each end?
The Viega 28740 MegaPressG adapter is a press by male pipe thread fitting: one end is a 2-1/2 inch press connection made up with a press tool and jaw, the other is 2-1/2 inch MPT that threads into a female-threaded valve, union, or existing threaded pipe. No welding or threading of the press side.
2) Will the Viega 28740 press adapter work on black iron gas pipe?
Yes. The 28740 is a MegaPressG carbon steel fitting, which is the gas line series, and it presses onto 2-1/2 inch black iron pipe. Carbon steel is the matching material for black iron systems, so you are not mixing dissimilar metals at the joint. The threaded end is 2-1/2 inch MPT for tying into threaded gas valves or drops.
3) What does Viega Smart Connect technology do on the 28740 fitting?
Smart Connect is the feature built into the 28740 adapter that leaks deliberately at pressure test if the joint has not been pressed. During a leak check an unpressed connection shows itself immediately, so a missed press on a 2-1/2 inch gas line is found before the system is put in service rather than after.
4) Is the 2-1/2 inch Viega 28740 a tee or a straight adapter?
It is catalogued by Viega as an adapter with a press end and a male thread end, model 28740, in the 2-1/2 inch size. If your drawing calls for a branch takeoff, this is not the part, you need a MegaPressG tee instead.
5) Do I need anything besides the Viega 28740 to make the joint up?
Two things beyond the fitting itself. The press end needs a press tool with the correct 2-1/2 inch MegaPress jaw or ring, and the MPT end needs a thread sealant rated for the media you are running. The fitting ships with its sealing element already installed, so nothing is added to the press side.
