Viega 90160 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPress 90160 tee press onto?
The 90160 is a reducing tee sized 2 inch x 2 inch x 1/2 inch, so the run presses onto 2 inch pipe at both ends and the branch takes 1/2 inch. All three ends are press connections (P1 x P2 x P3), not threaded or grooved, so you need the matching press jaws and rings for both the 2 inch and the 1/2 inch sizes before you can make up the joint.
2) Is the 90160 MegaPress tee stainless or carbon steel?
It is 316 stainless steel. That matters because MegaPress is also made in a carbon steel version for black iron pipe; the 316 version is the one specified where corrosion resistance is needed. Don't substitute the carbon steel fitting on a line that was specified stainless.
3) Can I use the MegaPress 90160 to take a 1/2 inch branch off a 2 inch line without threading or welding?
Yes, that is exactly what it is for. Cut the 2 inch pipe in, press both run ends and press the 1/2 inch branch. No threading, no welding, no hot work permit. The fitting weighs 2.074 lbs, so it is a one-hand hold while you set the tool.
4) What does Smart Connect do on a MegaPress fitting?
Smart Connect is the feature built into the sealing element that lets an unpressed joint leak intentionally during pressure testing, so an installer can spot a connection that was missed before the system is put into service. On a 2 x 2 x 1/2 tee with three separate press joints, that is the practical check that all three were actually crimped.
5) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 90160 tee between hangers?
Plan on roughly 7.646 inches overall length, 4.283 inches width and 2.894 inches height for the fitting body. Add clearance beyond that for the press tool jaw to swing around each of the three joints, which is usually the limiting factor in a tight ceiling or chase, not the fitting itself.
6) What is the exact part number and origin for the Viega 2 x 2 x 1/2 stainless MegaPress tee?
Order it as Viega part number 90160. It is manufactured in Germany. That is the single orderable configuration of this stainless 2 x 2 x 1/2 press tee, so there is no finish or option to specify.
