Viega 28880 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Viega 28880 a press fitting or does it need to be threaded or welded?
Press. The 28880 is a press-connect carbon steel fitting with Smart Connect technology, so the joint is made cold with a press tool and jaw sized for 3 inch MegaPress. No threading, no cutting oil, no hot work permit.
2) What does the G in MegaPressG mean, and can I use this on a gas line?
MegaPressG is Viega's gas-rated press line for black iron and carbon steel pipe, and the 28880 is a 3 inch MegaPressG carbon steel fitting. The G series uses a different sealing element than standard MegaPress for water and hydronic work, so do not mix the two on a fuel gas system. Local code and the gas utility still govern what is permitted on the job.
3) How much clearance do I need around a 3 inch MegaPressG flange fitting?
The fitting itself measures 7.717 inches long by 7.717 inches wide with a 4.087 inch height, and you need working room beyond that for the press jaw to swing around the pipe. In a tight ceiling or a chase, mock up the jaw position before you commit to the layout.
4) Can I press this Viega carbon steel fitting onto copper or stainless tubing?
No. The 28880 is a carbon steel MegaPressG fitting sized for 3 inch steel pipe, and its press dimension and sealing element are specific to that. Copper needs a ProPress copper fitting and stainless needs the stainless press line; the jaw and the fitting are not interchangeable across materials.
