Viega 28865 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is Viega MegaPressG 28865 suitable for gas piping, or is it the water version?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas line, and 28865 is a MegaPressG fitting in 3 inch carbon steel. The G designation is what separates it from standard MegaPress for water and hydronic service, so this is the one you order for black iron gas piping, not the water fitting.
2) What pipe does the Viega 28865 press onto?
It is a 3 inch press fitting in carbon steel, so it goes onto 3 inch IPS carbon steel (black iron) pipe. It is not a threaded fitting, it is pressed with a jaw or ring sized for 3 inch MegaPress.
3) What does Smart Connect technology on the Viega 28865 actually do for the installer?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed connection leak detectably during pressure testing, so a joint you missed shows up on the test instead of after the wall closes. On a 3 inch gas line with a lot of joints, that is the point of it, you test the system and find the one fitting that did not get the jaw.
4) Can I use the Viega 28865 on galvanized or stainless pipe instead of black steel?
No. 28865 is a carbon steel MegaPressG fitting, sized for 3 inch carbon steel pipe. For stainless or copper runs you need the matching Viega press system in that material, since mixing a carbon steel fitting onto a different pipe material is outside what this fitting is built for.
