Viega 90140 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Viega MegaPress 90140 tee connect?
The 90140 is a reducing tee sized 1 inch x 1 inch x 3/4 inch: the run is 1 inch on both ends and the branch presses onto 3/4 inch pipe. All three ends are press connections (P1 x P2 x P3), so there is no threading or welding on any outlet.
2) Is the Viega 90140 tee stainless or carbon steel, and does that matter for my pipe?
It is built in 316 stainless steel, body and all three press ends. MegaPress fittings are matched to the pipe material, so a 316 stainless fitting is the one you want on stainless pipe runs rather than on black iron. If you are pressing black carbon steel pipe, order the carbon steel MegaPress version of the same tee instead.
3) Can I use the Viega 90140 to drop a 3/4 inch branch off a 1 inch line without a bushing?
Yes, that is exactly what this tee is for. The 3/4 inch branch is built into the fitting, so you press 3/4 inch pipe straight into it with no reducing bushing or adapter. The 1 inch run passes through both other ends.
4) What does Smart Connect technology on this Viega press tee actually do for the installer?
Smart Connect is a deliberate leak path built into the sealing element so an unpressed connection weeps during pressure testing instead of hiding until the system is in service. On a three-outlet fitting like the 1 x 1 x 3/4 tee that is worth something, because it is easy to press two ends and walk away from the branch. It does not replace pressing every joint; it just makes a missed press show itself on test.
5) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 90140 MegaPress tee in a tight chase?
Plan around a fitting that measures 5.256 inches long, 3.287 inches wide and 1.78 inches high. The bigger constraint in a tight chase is usually the press tool jaw, not the fitting, so leave clearance on all three outlets for the jaw to close square on the pipe. It weighs 0.891 lbs, light enough that no intermediate support is needed for the fitting itself.
6) Do I need to order a separate sealing element or O-ring with this MegaPress tee?
No. The sealing element is factory installed in each of the three press ends of the 90140, so the fitting arrives ready to press. What you do need on site is the press tool with jaws sized for 1 inch and 3/4 inch, plus a deburring and marking step on the cut pipe ends.
7) What part number should I give my distributor for the 1 x 1 x 3/4 stainless MegaPress tee?
Viega part number 90140. It is the 316 stainless MegaPress tee in 1 inch x 1 inch x 3/4 inch with press ends on all three outlets. The adjacent numbers in the family cover other size combinations, so quote 90140 specifically if you need the 3/4 inch branch.
8) Where is the Viega MegaPress 90140 tee manufactured?
Made in Germany. For spec submittals and government or institutional procurement where country of origin has to be declared, that is the value to list, along with the 316 stainless steel material and Viega part number 90140.
