Viega V90065 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe size does the Viega MegaPress 90065 45-degree elbow fit?
The MegaPress 90065 elbow is a 1 inch by 1 inch fitting, press on both ends. It takes 1 inch pipe at each connection, so it is a straight 1 inch 45-degree change of direction with no size reduction. For other line sizes you need a different MegaPress elbow.
2) Is this MegaPress elbow stainless or carbon steel, and can I use it on a corrosive or outdoor line?
It is built in 316 stainless steel, the more corrosion resistant of the MegaPress bodies. That makes it the choice for lines where a carbon steel press fitting would rust out, including wash-down areas, marine-influenced sites, and chemically aggressive media compatible with 316. Mixing it into a carbon steel system is a dissimilar metal decision you should resolve on the drawing.
3) Will this MegaPress elbow work on threaded black iron pipe without cutting threads?
That is the point of MegaPress: it presses onto the pipe itself, so you cut and prep the 1 inch pipe and press rather than threading or welding. On a renovation that means no hot work and no die cutting in an occupied building. The 316 stainless body is the version to specify when the line or the environment would attack carbon steel.
4) Do I need a special tool or can I press this with my existing press gun jaws?
The 90065 is a MegaPress fitting, so it presses with MegaPress jaws sized for 1 inch pipe in a compatible press tool. It is not a ProPress copper fitting and the two jaw sets are not interchangeable at the same nominal size. Both ends press, so plan jaw clearance at both the inlet and outlet of the elbow.
5) What does Smart Connect on this Viega elbow actually do for me on the job?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed fitting leaks deliberately during pressure testing so you find the joint you missed before the system is buttoned up. On a 45-degree elbow with two press ends, that matters, because it is easy to press one leg and walk away from the other.
6) How much room does a 1 inch MegaPress 45 elbow take up in a tight chase?
Overall the fitting measures 4.386 x 3.071 x 1.78 inches and weighs 0.639 lbs. Use those numbers when you are laying out offsets in a tight chase or ceiling space, and remember you also need swing room for the press jaw around each end, not just the fitting footprint.
7) What part number do I order for the Viega 1 inch MegaPress 45 stainless elbow?
Order Viega 90065. Viega also catalogs it under model number 5126, so you may see the fitting referenced either way on submittals and takeoffs. It is made in Germany.
