Viega 84825 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Viega 84825 MegaPress union on copper or stainless pipe?
No. The 84825 is a carbon steel MegaPress fitting, made for black iron or carbon steel pipe. Copper needs a copper press system and stainless needs a stainless fitting, so match the fitting material to the pipe you are pressing.
2) Does the MegaPress 84825 union need to be threaded or welded in?
Neither. Both ends are press connections, so the joint is made cold with a press tool and the correct 1 inch jaw. No threading, no soldering, no hot work permit. That is the main reason crews reach for a press union on an occupied building or a tight mechanical room.
3) Why use a press union instead of just a coupling on a 1 inch steel line?
A union gives you a disconnect point. A coupling is permanent once pressed, so if you ever need to pull a pump, valve or piece of equipment out of the line, you would be cutting pipe. The 84825 lets you break the joint at 1 inch and put it back together. Standard practice is one at each side of serviceable equipment.
4) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 84825 union between hangers?
Plan for 5.339 inches of length. The body measures 5.339 inches long, 2.26 inches wide and 2.087 inches high, so it needs clearance around the pipe as well, plus swing room for the press jaw on each end.
5) What part number do I order for the Viega 1 inch MegaPress carbon steel union?
Order Viega part number 84825. That is the 1 inch by 1 inch MegaPress union in carbon steel, made in Germany.
6) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 84825 and does it change how I install it?
Smart Connect is the unpressed-connection feature built into MegaPress fittings. It does not change the install steps, but it does mean that if a joint gets missed during pressure testing, it will show itself rather than sit unpressed in the wall. You still mark insertion depth and press every joint.
7) Is the Viega 84825 MegaPress union heavy enough to need extra support?
At 1.415 lbs it is light enough to hang on standard 1 inch pipe supports. Support the pipe, not the fitting, and keep hangers off the press ends so the jaw has clearance.
