Viega 84435 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Viega MegaPress 84435 tee connect?
The MegaPress tee, model 84435, is a reducing tee sized 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/2 inch x 1 inch. The run is 1-1/2 inch on both ends and the branch outlet steps down to 1 inch, so you can take a 1 inch branch off a 1-1/2 inch main without adding a separate bushing or reducer.
2) Is the Viega 84435 MegaPress tee for copper or for black iron pipe?
It is a carbon steel fitting, made for carbon steel pipe systems, not for copper tube. If the line you are working on is copper, this is the wrong fitting family.
3) Are all three ends of the 84435 MegaPress tee press ends, or is one threaded?
All three ends are press connections. The connection type is listed as P1 x P2 x P3, meaning press on the 1-1/2 inch run ends and press on the 1 inch branch. There is no thread or socket on this tee, so you press all three joints with the appropriate jaw or ring for each size.
4) Do I need two different press jaw sizes to install this Viega MegaPress reducing tee?
Yes. Because the run is 1-1/2 inch and the branch is 1 inch, the two sizes take different press tooling. Plan on the 1-1/2 inch jaw or press ring with actuator for the run ends and the 1 inch jaw for the branch before you get to the riser.
5) How much room do I need to fit the 84435 MegaPress tee in a tight ceiling or chase?
Overall the fitting measures 9.22 inches long, 6.756 inches wide and 4.181 inches high. Allow for that envelope plus clearance for the press tool jaw to swing around each socket, which is usually the tighter constraint in a joist bay or a chase.
6) Can I use the Viega 84435 tee to branch down from 1-1/2 inch without stacking adapters?
That is exactly what it does. One fitting takes you from a 1-1/2 inch run to a 1 inch branch in a single press tee, so there is no reducing coupling or bushing in the branch leg. Fewer joints in the line means fewer places to leak and less assembly length to find in the bay.
7) What does Smart Connect mean on a Viega MegaPress fitting?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed joint be identified during pressure testing, so a connection you missed shows itself before the system goes into service rather than after the ceiling is closed. It is built into the 84435 tee.
8) How heavy is the Viega 84435 MegaPress tee, and will it need extra support?
The tee weighs 1.915 lbs on its own. That is light enough that normal hanger spacing on the 1-1/2 inch run carries it, but if the 1 inch branch picks up a long vertical drop, support the branch rather than leaving the load hanging on the fitting.
9) Where is the Viega MegaPress 84435 tee manufactured?
Made in Germany. For submittal packages that require country of origin on each fitting line item, that is the value to enter for part 84435.
