Viega 28860 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe size does the Viega MegaPressG 28860 fit?
It's a 2-1/2 inch MegaPressG fitting, so it presses onto 2-1/2 inch black iron / carbon steel pipe. Nominal size is the only size this part number covers (28860); other sizes in the MegaPressG line carry their own part numbers.
2) Can I use a MegaPressG carbon steel fitting on copper or PEX?
No. The 28860 is carbon steel and is made to press onto carbon steel (black iron) pipe. Copper lines need a copper press system such as ProPress, and PEX needs a PEX fitting; a carbon steel press fitting will not seal correctly on either.
3) What does Smart Connect technology actually do on a Viega press fitting?
Smart Connect is a feature in the sealing element area that deliberately leaks when a fitting has been left unpressed, so an unpressed joint shows itself during pressure testing instead of after the wall is closed. On a 2-1/2 inch gas line that's the difference between catching a missed press at test and chasing it later.
4) Is the 28860 a press fitting or does it thread on?
It's a press connection, listed with a P connection type, not threaded. The joint is made with a press tool and the correct jaw or ring for 2-1/2 inch carbon steel, so no threading, welding, or open flame on the install.
5) Where is the Viega MegaPressG 28860 made, and what do I order it by?
Made in Germany. Order it as Viega part number 28860, 2-1/2 inch carbon steel MegaPressG. That part number is the only identifier you need for a distributor or a submittal line item.
