Viega 91745 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Viega 91745 MegaPress elbow work on 1-1/2 inch black iron pipe?
Yes. The 91745 is a 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch MegaPress fitting, and MegaPress presses onto 1-1/2 inch black iron and other carbon steel schedule pipe. The press end goes over the pipe; the FTG end is the male side that inserts into another press fitting rather than onto pipe.
2) Is the 91745 the stainless MegaPress or the carbon steel version?
It is the stainless version. The 91745 elbow body is 316 stainless steel, which is the one specified where the carbon steel MegaPress body would corrode, such as damp mechanical rooms or more aggressive media. If your spec calls for plain MegaPress on black iron, that is a different fitting body.
3) What is Smart Connect on this Viega elbow and why does it matter on inspection?
Smart Connect is a deliberate small feature in the sealing area that lets a tiny amount of media escape from an unpressed connection during pressure testing. The practical value is that an elbow you forgot to press shows itself at test instead of after the ceiling is closed, which is why it gets specified on large press jobs.
4) Do I need a separate O-ring or sealing element with the Viega 91745?
No. MegaPress fittings ship with the sealing element already installed in the press socket, so the elbow is ready to go on the pipe. What you do need is the correct press tool and 1-1/2 inch jaw or ring set, which is not part of the fitting.
5) Street elbow or a regular 90 plus a nipple, which should I use?
Use the street elbow when you need the turn immediately at another fitting. The FTG end inserts directly into the next press fitting, so you drop a short nipple and one press joint out of the assembly. If both ends are landing on pipe, you want a standard press by press 90 instead.
