Viega 90895 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Viega 90895 elbow press onto 1-1/4 inch black iron pipe?
Yes, the press end is sized for 1-1/4 inch pipe, and MegaPress is the carbon/black steel pipe press system. The 90895 is the 316 stainless steel version of the fitting body, pressed with a MegaPress jaw in that size.
2) Can I use the Viega 90895 to replace a threaded 90 degree street elbow on existing pipe?
Only as a press joint, not a threaded one. The 90895 has a fitting-end male spigot and a press socket, so it mates to MegaPress fittings and to cut pipe ends. If the existing run is threaded and you want to stay threaded, this is the wrong part. To transition, you would press this elbow onto pipe and use a MegaPress press-by-thread adapter at the threaded connection.
3) Why choose a 316 stainless MegaPress elbow instead of a carbon steel one?
The 90895 body is 316 stainless steel, which is the grade you want where the carbon steel version would corrode: damp mechanical rooms, exposed outdoor runs, washdown areas, and lines carrying more aggressive media. On an ordinary dry interior gas or hydronic run, the standard carbon steel MegaPress elbow does the same job.
4) Do I need anything else to install the Viega 90895, or does it come with a seal?
The elbow ships with its sealing element already in the press socket, so nothing extra goes in the joint. What you do need is the press tool and the 1-1/4 inch MegaPress jaw, plus a pipe cutter and a depth marker. There are no threads and no sealant on this fitting.
5) How much room do I need to fit the Viega 90895 street elbow in a tight chase?
Plan around the stated overall size: 5.138 inches long, 4.654 inches wide and 2.205 inches high. Remember the press tool jaw needs clearance around the socket as well, not just the fitting footprint, so measure for the jaw swing when you are working against a wall or between joists.
6) Is Viega 90895 the right part number for a 1-1/4 inch stainless MegaPress street elbow?
Yes. Viega part number 90895 is the MegaPress 90 degree street elbow in 316 stainless steel, 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch, FTG x P. Order by that number to avoid getting the P x P elbow, which has two press sockets instead of a fitting end.
7) What is Smart Connect on a Viega MegaPress fitting and does it change how I press it?
Smart Connect is a feature of the press socket that lets you find an unpressed joint during pressure testing, so a missed connection shows itself before the system goes into service. It does not change the install: clean and mark the pipe, seat it fully in the socket, and press once with the correct MegaPress jaw for 1-1/4 inch.
8) How much does the Viega 90895 1-1/4 inch elbow weigh, and where is it made?
It weighs 1.225 lbs and is made in Germany. Useful if you are pricing a bulk pull for a riser package or checking weight for hanger spacing on a stainless run.
