Viega 84565 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three connections on the Viega MegaPress 84565 tee?
Two press ends and one female threaded outlet. The 84565 is configured P1 x P2 x FPT at 1-1/4 inch x 1-1/4 inch x 1 inch, so the run presses onto 1-1/4 inch carbon steel pipe at both ends and the 1 inch branch takes a male-threaded nipple, valve, or gauge. It is not a three-way press tee, so if you need the branch pressed too, you want the all-press version instead.
2) Can I use a MegaPress carbon steel tee on copper or stainless pipe?
No. The 84565 is a carbon steel fitting made for black iron / carbon steel pipe systems. Putting a carbon steel press fitting on copper mixes dissimilar metals and is the wrong system. For copper you need a copper press fitting, and for stainless a stainless press fitting.
3) Do I have to thread or weld pipe to install this Viega tee?
No cutting oil, no threading machine, no torch on the run. Both 1-1/4 inch ends are press connections made cold with a press tool and the matching jaw, which is why crews use MegaPress on occupied buildings and in areas where hot work permits are a problem. The only threaded work is whatever you screw into the 1 inch FPT branch.
4) What does Smart Connect on the Viega 84565 actually do for me?
It's the feature that keeps an unpressed joint from hiding on you. The sealing element is shaped so an unpressed connection leaks visibly during pressure test, so the joint gets found at test instead of after the ceiling is closed. On a run with a lot of tees, that is the difference between one callback and none.
5) How much room do I need to fit the 84565 tee between fittings?
The 84565 measures 6.457 inches long, 3.13 inches wide and 2.205 inches high, and it weighs 1.499 lbs. Lay that out before you cut: press fittings need clearance around the body for the jaw to close square, so the fitting footprint plus tool swing is what governs in a tight chase or against a joist.
6) I need a 1 inch drop off a 1-1/4 inch main for a gauge or valve. Is this the right tee?
That is exactly what this one is built for. The 1 inch female threaded branch takes a male-thread gauge, valve, or nipple directly, while the 1-1/4 inch run stays pressed. If your branch is going to continue in pipe rather than terminate at a threaded device, a full press branch tee makes more sense than adding a threaded transition here.
7) Is the Viega 84565 a reducing tee?
Yes, on the branch only. The run is straight 1-1/4 inch through, and the outlet reduces to 1 inch female thread. You don't need a separate bushing to get down to 1 inch.
8) Where is the Viega 84565 MegaPress tee made, and what part number do I order?
Order it as Viega part 84565. It is made in Germany. For submittal packages that is the manufacturer part number to list against the carbon steel MegaPress line.
