Viega 90485 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPress 90485 transition coupling press onto?
The 90485 is a 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch coupling, with both ends made as press connections (P1 x P2, CTS). It joins two 1-1/2 inch runs without threading or welding, so the pipe ends only need to be cut square, deburred and marked for insertion depth before pressing.
2) Is the Viega 90485 coupling stainless or carbon steel, and can it go on a wet or corrosive line?
It's 316 stainless steel, the more corrosion resistant of the two common press alloys. That makes it suitable where a carbon steel press fitting would be a risk, such as damp mechanical rooms or lines carrying corrosive media. Carbon steel MegaPress fittings are the choice for standard black iron gas and hydronic work; 316 is what you specify when the service or the environment calls for stainless.
3) Is the Viega 90485 a tee or a straight coupling? I'm trying to order the right fitting.
Despite how it's filed, the 90485 is a transition coupling, a two-end straight connector in 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch. It joins two pipe ends in line. If you need to branch a line, you want a three-outlet MegaPress tee instead, not this part.
4) How much room do I need around the pipe to press a 1-1/2 inch MegaPress coupling?
The fitting body itself measures 4.547 inches long and 2.437 inches across in both height and width, so plan clearance for that plus the jaw of the press tool swinging around the pipe. In tight ceiling or wall cavities, measure the full tool envelope, not just the 2.437 inch fitting diameter.
5) What does Smart Connect technology on the Viega 90485 actually do for me on the job?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed fitting leaks visibly under test pressure so you find the missed joint during pressure testing rather than after the walls close. On a long run with dozens of presses, that is the difference between a quick test and chasing a hidden joint later. The 90485 carries it.
6) Can I use the 90485 to repair a section of existing 1-1/2 inch pipe in place?
Yes, that is the common use for a press coupling this size. Cut out the damaged section, dress both pipe ends, slide the coupling on and press each side. Because both ends are press rather than threaded, you do not have to rotate the pipe, which is what makes it workable on a fixed run. Just verify the existing pipe is a material and wall the 316 stainless MegaPress press end is made for before you cut.
7) Where is the Viega 90485 MegaPress fitting manufactured?
Made in Germany. For spec packages and submittals that require country of origin, that is the value to list. Each coupling weighs 0.804 lbs, which matters if you are pricing freight on a full box for a large job.
