Viega 90405 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega 90405 MegaPress fitting cap off?
It is a 1-1/2 inch MegaPress cap, so it closes off 1-1/2 inch IPS steel pipe. MegaPress stainless fittings press onto Schedule 10 through Schedule 40 steel pipe in that nominal size. Overall the cap measures 3.047 inches long with a 2.437 inch height and width.
2) Is the Viega 90405 press cap stainless steel or carbon steel?
316 stainless steel body. That is the marine-grade alloy with molybdenum added, which is why it gets specified for corrosive or chloride-exposed service rather than the carbon steel MegaPress line. Match it to stainless pipe, not black iron, if you want to avoid galvanic issues on the joint.
3) What does Smart Connect mean on a Viega MegaPress fitting?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that makes an unpressed joint leak on purpose during pressure testing, so you find the connection you missed before the wall closes up. The 90405 cap is built with it. It does not replace pressing the joint, it just makes a skipped press obvious.
4) Do I need a special press tool and jaw for a 1-1/2 inch MegaPress cap?
Yes. Press fittings in 1-1/2 inch are pressed with a press tool and the matching 1-1/2 inch MegaPress ring and actuator rather than a standard jaw, so plan on the correct ring for the size before you get on the roof or in the mechanical room. The cap itself ships as the fitting only, no tooling.
5) Can I use a press cap instead of threading a 1-1/2 inch steel pipe end?
That is exactly what it is for. Capping with a press fitting means no threading, no cutting oil, and no hot work on the end of the run, which matters in occupied buildings and anywhere a hot work permit is a problem. You cut the pipe square, deburr, mark the insertion depth, and press. A threaded cap needs the pipe end threaded first, which a press cap avoids entirely.
6) Is the Viega 90405 made in the USA?
No, it is made in Germany. That is worth confirming up front on jobs carrying Buy American or domestic-sourcing requirements, because a German-made fitting will not satisfy them.
7) What is the Viega part number and weight for the 1-1/2 inch stainless MegaPress cap?
Order it as Viega 90405. It weighs 0.703 lbs each, so a box of them for a multi-riser shutdown stays easy to carry up a ladder.
