Viega 84160 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the FTG x P connection on the Viega 84160 MegaPress reducer mean for how it installs?
FTG x P means one end is a fitting (male) end sized to slip into another MegaPress fitting's press socket, and the other end is a press (P) socket that takes 1/2 inch pipe. So the 3/4 inch side is not a socket you press pipe into, it is the end that goes into a 3/4 inch press fitting. If you need to press 3/4 inch pipe directly on both sides, this is the wrong configuration and you want a P x P reducing coupling instead.
2) Can the Viega 84160 MegaPress reducer be used on black iron gas or steel pipe?
The 84160 is a carbon steel MegaPress reducer, which is the MegaPress line built for black iron and carbon steel pipe rather than copper. Material is carbon steel on both the body and the fitting, so it matches the pipe it presses onto and you are not mixing dissimilar metals in the run.
3) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 84160 reducer in a tight joist bay or wall cavity?
Plan on about 2.854 inches of run length and 1.264 inches across the fitting in both width and height. That is the fitting body alone, so add clearance for the press jaw to seat square around the socket.
4) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 84160, and why does it matter on an inspection?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature. The sealing element is shaped so an unpressed fitting leaks visibly during pressure test rather than holding, which is how you find a missed joint before the wall closes up. It does not replace pressing, it just makes the miss obvious.
5) Where is the Viega 84160 MegaPress reducer manufactured?
Made in Germany. For specs and submittals on federal or institutional jobs with country-of-origin reporting, that is the origin to list for part 84160.
