Viega 90885 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of connection does the Viega 90885 MegaPress adapter have on each end?
The Viega 90885 is a P x FPT adapter: one press end that crimps onto 1-1/4 inch pipe, and a 1-1/4 inch female pipe thread outlet. So you press one side and thread the other, which is how you transition from a pressed run into threaded valves, unions, or gauge ports without soldering or cutting threads on site.
2) Is the Viega 90885 MegaPress fitting stainless steel or carbon steel?
It is 316 stainless steel, not carbon steel. That matters when you are choosing between MegaPress carbon steel fittings for black iron pipe and the stainless version for corrosive or wash-down service, where 316 holds up better against chlorides. Match the fitting body to the pipe and the fluid you are running.
3) Can I use the Viega 90885 to tie a threaded valve into a 1-1/4 inch pressed pipe run?
Yes, that is what the adapter is for. The press end goes onto the 1-1/4 inch pipe and the 1-1/4 inch female thread takes the male-threaded valve, nipple, or specialty device. Use an appropriate thread sealant on the FPT side; the press side is sealed by the fitting's own element, no dope or tape there.
4) How much room do I need around the pipe to press the 1-1/4 inch MegaPress adapter?
The fitting body itself is 3.291 inches long, 2.205 inches wide and 2.205 inches high, so plan clearance off those figures plus whatever your press tool jaw needs to wrap the press end. In tight ceiling cavities or against a wall, that jaw swing is usually the limiting factor, not the fitting.
5) What does Smart Connect technology on the Viega 90885 actually do for me on the job?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature. The sealing element is shaped so an unpressed joint leaks visibly during pressure test, which is how you find the fitting the crew missed before the ceiling closes. It does not change the fit or dimensions of the 1-1/4 inch P x FPT adapter, it just makes a missed press show itself.
6) Where is the Viega MegaPress 90885 made, and how much does it weigh for a submittal?
Made in Germany, and it weighs 0.688 lbs. Those are the two figures procurement and spec packages usually ask for alongside the 316 stainless material callout.
