Viega 84115 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Viega 84115 MegaPress a cap for 1-1/4 inch pipe?
Yes. The Viega 84115 is a MegaPress cap sized for 1-1/4 inch, made of carbon steel. It closes off the end of a run rather than continuing it, so you press it onto the prepared pipe end and the line is terminated.
2) What kind of pipe does a MegaPress carbon steel fitting press onto?
MegaPress carbon steel fittings are for black iron / carbon steel pipe, not copper. The 84115 is carbon steel bodied and sized 1-1/4 inch, so it presses onto 1-1/4 inch carbon steel pipe using a MegaPress jaw of that size. For copper or PEX you need a different Viega system (ProPress for copper, PureFlow for PEX).
3) Do I need to thread or weld the pipe to cap off a 1-1/4 inch black steel line?
No. That's the point of MegaPress. A press cap like the 84115 goes on a cut, deburred and marked pipe end with a press tool and the correct 1-1/4 inch jaw, no threading, no cutting oil, no hot work. On occupied or sprinklered buildings where a hot work permit is a hassle, that's usually the deciding factor over a threaded cap.
4) Can I use a carbon steel MegaPress cap on a potable water line?
Carbon steel is not a potable water material. The 84115 cap has a carbon steel body, which puts it on the gas, hydronic heating, compressed air, fire protection and similar non-potable black pipe side of the house. For potable work, use copper or a stainless or bronze system instead.
5) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 84115 and why does it matter during pressure testing?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed fitting leak intentionally during test, so an inspector or installer spots the connection that got missed before the system is closed up. On a cap, that matters because a capped end is easy to overlook on a long run.
6) Do I need anything besides the cap to make the connection?
You supply the tooling. A press cap ships as the fitting with its sealing element already in place, so there is no separate gasket or ring to buy, but you do need a press tool with a 1-1/4 inch MegaPress jaw, plus a cutter, deburring tool and depth marker for the pipe prep.
7) Is the Viega 84115 cap actually one piece, given the listed dimensions?
The 84115 is a single 1-1/4 inch MegaPress cap. The figures on record, 11.469 inches length, 8.134 inches width and 5.193 inches height at 0.635 lbs, are packaging and handling numbers, not the pressed footprint of the fitting itself. Use 1-1/4 inch as the pipe size when you order jaws.
