Viega 28820 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does FTG x P mean on the Viega 28820 MegaPressG reducer?
FTG x P is the end configuration: one end is a fitting (FTG) end sized to slip into another fitting or press socket, and the other is a press (P) end that receives pipe and is crimped with a press tool. So the 28820 is not press on both ends, which matters when you are laying out a run and need to know which end goes where.
2) Does the Viega 28820 reducer need to be pressed, or can it be threaded?
The press end is crimped, not threaded. One end of the 28820 is a press connection made with a press tool and jaw sized for the fitting; the other is a fitting end that inserts into a mating socket. There are no threads on this part, so no pipe dope, tape, or threading of the pipe is involved on either end.
3) Is the Viega 28820 reducer brass or steel?
Carbon steel. That is what pairs it with black iron and carbon steel pipe systems rather than copper or stainless runs. The piece weighs 1.942 lbs.
4) What is Smart Connect on the Viega MegaPressG 28820?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature built into the sealing element of the MegaPressG fitting. During pressure testing, a connection that was left unpressed leaks noticeably so the installer can find it before the system is put into service. It is a workflow feature on the 28820, not something you order separately.
5) Can I use the Viega 28820 carbon steel press fitting on copper tubing?
No. It is a carbon steel fitting built for carbon steel and black iron pipe. Copper and copper tube size runs need a copper press system, and stainless runs need stainless fittings. Mixing a carbon steel body onto copper is the wrong material pairing regardless of the press tool you own.
6) Where is the Viega 28820 MegaPressG fitting made?
Germany. For submittal packages or buy-clause reviews on institutional jobs, the 28820 carries a Made in Germany country of origin and a manufacturer part number of 28820.
