Viega 28810 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What do the FTG x P ends on the Viega 28810 MegaPressG reducer mean for installation?
The 28810 is an FTG x P reducer: the 2-1/2 inch end is a fitting end (FTG) sized to slip into another press fitting's socket, and the 1-1/2 inch end is a press socket (P) that goes over the pipe. So it does not accept pipe on both sides. If you need pipe into both ends, this is the wrong configuration for that joint.
2) Can the Viega 28810 MegaPressG fitting be used on gas lines?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated press line, and the 28810 is a MegaPressG carbon steel reducer with Smart Connect technology. Smart Connect is the feature that leaves an unpressed connection leaking slightly during testing so an installer can find a joint that was missed before the system is put into service.
3) What pipe is the Viega 28810 MegaPressG reducer made to join?
Carbon steel. The 28810 reducer body is carbon steel, matching black iron / carbon steel pipe systems rather than copper or stainless. Do not mix it into a copper press run.
4) How much space do I need to fit a 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 inch Viega 28810 reducer in a tight chase?
The 28810 reducer measures 5.165 inches in length with a 2.874 inch height and 2.874 inch width, and weighs 1.457 lbs. Lay that out against your chase or joist bay, and remember the press tool jaw needs clearance around the socket on top of the fitting's own footprint.
5) Why choose a press reducer like the Viega 28810 over threading or welding a 2-1/2 to 1-1/2 inch transition?
A press reducer is a cold-work joint: no threading, no cutting oil, no hot work permit. On a 2-1/2 inch carbon steel line that matters, since cutting and threading that size on site is slow. The tradeoff is you need the matching press tool and jaw for each size, and with the 28810 being FTG x P you are pressing only the 1-1/2 inch socket on this piece while the 2-1/2 inch fitting end gets pressed inside the adjoining fitting.
