Viega 84170 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Viega MegaPress 84170 reducer connect?
The 84170 is a 1 inch by 3/4 inch carbon steel MegaPress reducer. The connection arrangement is FTG x P, so the 1 inch end is a fitting (male) end that slides into another press fitting socket, and the 3/4 inch end is a press socket that receives 3/4 inch pipe.
2) Can I use the Viega 84170 on copper or stainless lines?
No. It is a carbon steel MegaPress fitting, made for black iron or carbon steel pipe systems. For copper tube you need a copper press system fitting, and for stainless you need a stainless press fitting; mixing a carbon steel body onto copper invites galvanic corrosion.
3) Does the FTG end on the 84170 mean I need an extra coupling?
No, and that is the point of it. The FTG x P arrangement gives you a male fitting end at 1 inch that presses directly into the socket of another 1 inch MegaPress fitting, so you drop a size without adding a coupling and without extra pipe between the two fittings.
4) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 84170 reducer in a tight ceiling space?
The body measures 3.244 inches long by 1.496 inches wide and 1.496 inches high, so the fitting itself is compact. Plan clearance around that for the press tool jaw, which needs more working room than the fitting envelope.
5) Is Smart Connect on the Viega 84170 something I have to do anything with?
No separate step. Smart Connect is a feature of the sealing element that lets a small amount of fluid escape from an unpressed joint during test, so you can spot a connection you missed before the system goes into service. You still press every joint with the proper MegaPress jaw.
6) Do I need to thread or weld anything to install the Viega 84170?
No cutting oil, no threading, no torch. It is a press connection on both ends, one press socket at 3/4 inch and one fitting end at 1 inch, so the joint is made cold with a press tool. That matters in occupied buildings where hot work permits are a problem.
7) What is the Viega part number and weight for the 1 inch x 3/4 inch MegaPress reducer?
Order it as Viega 84170. Each piece weighs 0.403 lbs, which is handy when you are pricing out freight on a box of fittings for a large repipe. It is made in Germany.
