Viega 84895 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does P x FTG mean on the Viega MegaPress 84895 street elbow?
P x FTG means one end is a press socket and the other is a fitting (street) end sized to slip into another press socket. On the 84895, both ends are 1-1/2 inch, so you press one leg onto 1-1/2 inch pipe and the street leg goes directly into the next 1-1/2 inch MegaPress fitting without a short nipple between them.
2) Can I use a MegaPress carbon steel elbow on black iron pipe instead of threading or welding?
That is what MegaPress is for. The 84895 is a carbon steel press fitting, so it joins to carbon steel (black iron) pipe with a press tool rather than cut threads or a weld, which keeps the work cold and avoids hot work permits. It is not a fitting for copper or PEX lines.
3) What size pipe does Viega 84895 fit?
Both ends are 1-1/2 inch, matching 1-1/2 inch nominal carbon steel pipe. For any other run size you need the corresponding MegaPress elbow in that size, not an adapter on this one.
4) What is Smart Connect on this Viega press elbow and what do I have to do about it?
Smart Connect is the deliberate leak path built into the sealing element so an unpressed joint weeps during pressure test instead of passing quietly. Practically, it means you pressurize the system after pressing and look for the tell-tale; any joint you skipped shows itself before the walls close up.
5) Does the 84895 street elbow save space compared to using a regular elbow and a nipple?
It does. Because one leg is a fitting end, the elbow plugs straight into the next press socket, so you lose the nipple and one extra press joint. Overall the fitting measures 6.114 inches long, 5.087 inches wide and 2.437 inches high, which is worth checking against tight joist bays or a close wall return.
6) Do I need anything besides the elbow itself to make the joint?
The sealing element comes in the press socket, so nothing extra goes into the fitting. What you supply is the tool side: a press tool with the correct 1-1/2 inch MegaPress jaw or ring and actuator, plus a proper pipe cut and deburr. No solder, flux, dope or tape is involved.
7) When should I order a street elbow instead of a standard press x press elbow?
Pick the street version, like the 84895, when the turn lands directly on another fitting, for example an elbow feeding a tee or a valve socket. If both legs of the turn land on cut pipe, use the press x press elbow instead, since the street end has nowhere to go.
