Viega 28850 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the FTG x P connection on the Viega 28850 MegaPressG reducer mean for how it installs?
FTG x P means one end is a fitting (male) end sized to slip into another 4 inch fitting's press socket, and the other end is a press (female) socket that accepts 2-1/2 inch carbon steel pipe. So the 4 inch side is not pressed onto pipe, it inserts into the next 4 inch MegaPressG fitting, while the 2-1/2 inch side presses onto pipe with the matching jaw. If you need a socket on both ends, this is the wrong configuration.
2) Can I use the Viega MegaPressG 28850 on copper or stainless pipe?
No. The 28850 is a carbon steel fitting made for black iron / carbon steel pipe. Copper needs a copper press system and stainless needs a stainless press fitting; the sealing element and jaw profile are not interchangeable across those materials.
3) Is the Viega 28850 a tee or just a reducing coupling?
It is catalogued as a reducer in Viega's MegaPressG line and is a tee-type body, 4 inch by 2-1/2 inch. Overall it measures 7.059 inches long by 5.193 inches wide and 5.193 inches high, so allow that envelope when you are fitting it into a tight chase or between hangers.
4) Does the Viega 28850 reducer have Smart Connect, and what does that do on the job?
Yes, the 28850 is a Smart Connect fitting. The feature intentionally leaves an unpressed connection leaking during pressure test so the installer can find a joint that was missed before the system is put into service. It does not replace pressing the joint with the correct tool and jaw.
5) Where is the Viega 28850 MegaPressG fitting manufactured?
Made in Germany. If you are submitting on a job with country-of-origin documentation requirements, that is the origin on record for this carbon steel MegaPressG reducer.
