Viega 28830 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPressG 28830 reducer connect?
It reduces 3 inch to 2 inch, in an FTG x P configuration. The FTG end is fitting-size so it slips into a 3 inch fitting socket, and the press end accepts 2 inch carbon steel pipe. Overall it measures 5.709 inches long by 3.5 inches high and 3.5 inches wide.
2) Can I use the MegaPressG 28830 on gas lines, or is it for water?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated press system, which is the difference between the G line and standard MegaPress. The 28830 is carbon steel, which is what black iron gas piping is, so it presses onto the same pipe you would otherwise be threading.
3) Will the Viega 28830 work on copper or stainless pipe?
No. It is carbon steel and sized for carbon steel (black iron) pipe. Copper needs a ProPress copper fitting and stainless needs a stainless press fitting; putting a carbon steel fitting on either creates a dissimilar metal joint and the sealing element is not the right one for that system.
4) What is Smart Connect on this Viega press reducer?
Smart Connect is the feature built into the fitting that lets an unpressed joint leak on purpose during pressure test, so the installer can find the connection they missed before the system is closed up. On a run using the 3 x 2 reducer, that is what catches a skipped crimp behind a wall.
5) What is the Viega part number for the 3 inch by 2 inch MegaPressG reducer?
The manufacturer part number is 28830. Order by that number to get the carbon steel FTG x P reducer in 3 inch by 2 inch; adjacent sizes in the MegaPressG reducer family carry different numbers.
