Viega 90175 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Viega MegaPress 90175 tee connect?
The Viega 90175 MegaPress tee is a reducing tee sized 2 inch x 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch, so the run is 2 inch on both ends and the branch outlet takes 1-1/2 inch. All three ends are press connections (P1 x P2 x P3), so no end is threaded or socket weld.
2) Is the Viega 90175 MegaPress tee carbon steel or stainless?
It is 316 stainless steel, not carbon steel. That matters when you are picking a fitting for the pipe you are pressing onto, because MegaPress carbon steel fittings and MegaPressG are different product lines. Stainless 316 is what you want on stainless pipe runs and in corrosive or washdown environments.
3) Do I need to solder or thread the Viega 90175 tee, or is it a press fitting?
No heat and no threading. The 90175 is a press fitting with three press ends, joined with a press tool and the correct jaw or ring for the size. Because the run is 2 inch and the branch is 1-1/2 inch, you will need jaws or rings for both sizes to make up all three joints.
4) Can I use the Viega 90175 stainless tee to branch a 1-1/2 inch line off a 2 inch main?
That is exactly what it is for. The two 2 inch press ends go on the main and the 1-1/2 inch press end takes the branch, so you do not need a separate reducer or bushing at the takeoff. Keep in mind the branch reduction is fixed at 1-1/2 inch; for a different branch size you need a different tee.
5) What does Smart Connect technology do on a Viega MegaPress fitting?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed connection leak visibly during pressure testing, so an installer can find a joint that was missed before the system is put in service. On a three-end fitting like the 90175 tee that is worth knowing, since it is easy to press two ends and walk away from the third.
6) How much clearance do I need to fit the Viega 90175 MegaPress tee in a tight chase?
Plan on a fitting envelope of 7.646 inches by 5.157 inches by 2.894 inches, and it weighs 2.407 lbs. On top of that you need room to get the press tool and jaw around each of the three ends, which is usually the real constraint in a chase or above a hard ceiling rather than the fitting body itself.
