Viega 28800 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the end connections on the Viega 28800 MegaPressG reducer?
Connections are FTG x P. The 2-1/2 inch end is a fitting (FTG) end, meaning it is sized to insert into another press fitting's socket rather than receive pipe, and the other end is a press (P) socket that accepts 1 inch pipe. Lay that out before you cut, because an FTG end will not take pipe.
2) Is the Viega MegaPressG 28800 for gas or for water lines?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated press system for black iron pipe, which is what the G designates. For water and other non-gas service on carbon steel pipe, the plain MegaPress line is the one to order instead. The 28800 is the 2-1/2 inch x 1 inch carbon steel reducer in the G family.
3) Can I use the Viega 28800 on copper or stainless tube?
No. It is a carbon steel fitting made for carbon steel (black iron) pipe. Copper runs call for a copper press system and stainless runs call for a stainless system; the seal and the fitting metal both have to match the pipe.
4) What does Smart Connect do on a Viega MegaPressG fitting?
Smart Connect is a deliberate leak path built into the sealing element so an unpressed joint weeps during pressure testing instead of passing inspection and failing later. On the 28800 it means you can test the 2-1/2 inch and 1 inch joints and find a connection you missed before the wall closes up.
5) How much clearance do I need to fit the Viega 28800 reducer in a tight chase?
The fitting measures 4.811 inches long and 2.874 inches on the other two dimensions, and it weighs 1.21 lbs. Add the jaw depth of your press tool around it when you are laying out clearance in a chase or against a joist.
6) Does the Viega MegaPressG 28800 need threading or welding?
Neither. It is a press fitting, so the joint is made cold with an approved press tool and jaw set, no cutting oil, threading dies, or hot work. On a 2-1/2 inch to 1 inch reduction that saves threading the large pipe entirely. You will need the correct jaw or ring for each of the two sizes.
7) Where is the Viega 28800 MegaPressG fitting made?
Made in Germany. If you are filing submittals or country-of-origin documentation on a public or institutional job, that is the origin to record for this fitting.
