Viega 90685 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the FTG x P connection on the Viega 90685 MegaPress reducer mean for how it installs?
The Viega 90685 is an FTG x P reducer: the FTG end is sized to slip inside a fitting socket, while the P end is a press socket that accepts pipe. So one side goes into another fitting and the other side receives pipe and gets pressed. Material is 316 stainless steel throughout.
2) What pipe sizes does the Viega 90685 MegaPress reducer connect?
It reduces 3 inch to 2-1/2 inch. Overall the fitting measures 5.551 inches long with 3.5 inch height and width, so allow that much room at the transition when you lay out the run.
3) Can I use the Viega 90685 reducer to go straight from 3 inch pipe into 2-1/2 inch pipe?
Not on its own. Because the 3 inch side is an FTG (street) end rather than a press socket, it has to land inside a mating 3 inch fitting socket. Only the 2-1/2 inch P end takes pipe directly. If both ends of your transition are bare pipe, you need a reducer with two press sockets instead.
4) Is a 316 stainless MegaPress fitting the right choice over carbon steel for my system?
316 stainless is the grade you pick when the media or the environment would attack carbon steel: wash-down areas, coastal or chemical exposure, and process lines where rust carryover matters. The 90685 is 316 stainless steel in both the body and at both connections. On ordinary black-iron gas or dry sprinkler work, the carbon steel MegaPress line is the usual spec and stainless is overkill.
5) Does the Viega 90685 press fitting tell me if I forgot to crimp it?
Yes. The 90685 carries Viega's Smart Connect feature, which leaves an unpressed connection deliberately leaky during pressure test so an uncrimped joint shows itself before the system is put into service rather than after the ceiling is closed.
