Viega 84195 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What do the FTG x P ends on the Viega 84195 MegaPress reducer mean for how it installs?
The 84195 is a carbon steel MegaPress reducer with FTG x P ends. FTG is a fitting-end (street) side sized to slip into another press fitting's socket, and P is a press socket that receives 1-1/4 inch pipe. So it goes 1-1/2 inch fitting end into the next fitting, 1-1/4 inch pipe into the press socket, and both joints are made with a press tool rather than welding or threading.
2) Will the Viega 84195 reduce 1-1/2 inch black iron pipe down to 1-1/4 inch?
That is exactly the size step it makes: 1-1/2 inch on the FTG side, 1-1/4 inch on the press side. It's carbon steel, so it belongs on black/carbon steel pipe systems, not on copper or stainless lines. Note the 1-1/2 inch end is a fitting end, not a socket, so it inserts into a 1-1/2 inch press fitting rather than accepting a length of 1-1/2 inch pipe.
3) Can I use the carbon steel Viega 84195 on a potable water line?
No. The 84195 is a carbon steel fitting, and carbon steel press systems are intended for non-potable service such as hydronic heating, chilled water, compressed air, fire protection and fuel oil, depending on the sealing element specified. For domestic water you want a copper or stainless press fitting instead, not this one.
4) Do I need a 1-1/2 inch press jaw or a 1-1/4 inch jaw for the Viega 84195?
Only one joint on the 84195 is pressed at the fitting itself, and it's the 1-1/4 inch press socket, so you need a 1-1/4 inch MegaPress jaw for that. The 1-1/2 inch FTG end gets pressed by whatever 1-1/2 inch fitting it enters, so you'll want that jaw size on hand too if you're making that joint on site.
5) What does Smart Connect do on Viega MegaPress fittings, and does it mean I can skip checking the joint?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: before pressing, the sealing area deliberately leaks under test pressure so an unpressed joint shows itself during pressure test instead of after the walls close. It does not replace pressing every joint. On the 84195 you still press the 1-1/4 inch socket with the correct jaw, and the 1-1/2 inch FTG end still has to be pressed in the fitting it enters.
6) Is the Viega 84195 a tee or a straight reducer?
The part is a reducing coupling type fitting, 1-1/2 inch FTG by 1-1/4 inch press, used to step pipe size down in a run. If you need to branch a line, you need a reducing tee instead, which is a different fitting with three openings.
