Viega 84835 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Viega 84835 MegaPress fitting a tee or a union?
The Viega 84835 is a 1-1/2 inch MegaPress union in carbon steel, with press connections on both ends (P1 x P2). A union is a two-end fitting that lets you break the line apart later without cutting pipe, which is what you want ahead of a pump, valve, or piece of equipment that will need service. If you need a three-way branch off the run, a union is the wrong part.
2) Do I have to thread or weld to install the Viega 84835 union?
No cutting oil, no torch, no threading. Both ends of the 1-1/2 inch MegaPress union are press connections, so you cut the pipe, mark the insertion depth, and press with the jaw. That is the reason contractors reach for MegaPress on occupied buildings, where hot work permits and welding on carbon steel line are the schedule problem.
3) Can I use the Viega 84835 carbon steel union on copper or PEX?
No. The 84835 is a carbon steel MegaPress fitting, sized and sealed for carbon steel pipe. Copper and PEX systems use their own Viega press lines, and mixing a carbon steel body onto copper is a corrosion problem, not just a fit problem.
4) What does Smart Connect technology on the Viega 84835 actually do for the installer?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: a fitting that never got pressed leaks visibly during pressure test instead of passing and failing later. On a run with a dozen 1-1/2 inch presses behind a ceiling, that is how you find the one you missed before the ceiling closes.
5) How much space do I need to fit a 1-1/2 inch MegaPress union in a tight chase?
The 84835 union measures 6.63 inches long, 2.992 inches wide, and 2.756 inches high, and weighs 2.722 lbs. Plan the length into the run, and remember the press jaw needs clearance around the fitting body on top of that, so a chase sized to the fitting alone will not let you make the press.
6) Where should I put a union on a MegaPress carbon steel run?
Put the 84835 at the equipment side of any component you will eventually pull, a circulator, a strainer, a control valve, or a meter. Press systems are permanent joints, so without a union in the line the only way back into that section is a cut. One 1-1/2 inch union at each side of the device turns a pipe-cutting callback into a two-wrench job.
