Viega 84765 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the two ends on the Viega MegaPress 84765 adapter, and what pipe does the press end go on?
The 84765 is a P x FPT fitting: one press end at 1-1/4 inch and one female NPT thread at 1/2 inch. The press side is carbon steel and goes onto 1-1/4 inch carbon steel pipe; the 1/2 inch female thread takes a male-threaded nipple, valve, or gauge. No threading or welding on the press side.
2) Can I use the Viega 84765 MegaPress carbon steel fitting on copper or PEX?
No. The 84765 is a carbon steel MegaPress fitting, sized for 1-1/4 inch carbon steel pipe. Copper needs a copper press system and PEX needs a PEX fitting; the sealing element and jaw profile here are not interchangeable with those.
3) Is the Viega 84765 the right part for taking a 1/2 inch branch, gauge, or drain off a 1-1/4 inch steel line?
That is exactly what it does. The 1-1/4 inch press end sits in the main and the 1/2 inch female NPT accepts a threaded nipple, ball valve, pressure gauge, or drain cock. You supply the male-threaded device and thread sealant; the fitting itself provides only the FPT port.
4) What does Smart Connect do on the Viega 84765 and why does it matter on a job?
Smart Connect is the feature that leaves a deliberate leak path at an unpressed connection, so an unpressed joint shows itself during pressure test rather than after the wall is closed. On a run with a lot of 1-1/4 inch joints it is how you find the one the crew missed.
5) Do I need a special press tool for the 1-1/4 inch end of this MegaPress fitting?
Yes, a 1-1/4 inch MegaPress jaw or ring on a compatible press tool. The tool and jaws are separate purchases, not part of the fitting, and the sealing element is factory installed, so nothing else gets added at the joint besides a clean, deburred, properly marked pipe end.
6) Will a carbon steel press fitting like the Viega 84765 rust in a wet or exposed location?
The body is carbon steel, which is intended for closed systems such as hydronic heating, chilled water, compressed air, and fire protection rather than open or continuously wet exposure. Outdoors or in a damp pit it will want coating or a different material; for a dry interior mechanical room it is standard.
7) What is the Viega MegaPress part number and where is it made?
Order it as Viega MegaPress 84765. It is made in Germany and weighs 0.679 lbs, which is useful if you are pricing freight on a bulk fitting order.
