Viega 91765 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPress 91765 45 degree elbow press onto?
The 91765 is a 1 inch by 1 inch elbow, so both press ends take 1 inch pipe. Connection type is press on both ends (P1 x P2), meaning there is no threaded or sweat end on this fitting.
2) Is the Viega 91765 elbow stainless or carbon steel?
It is 316 stainless steel, the grade Viega uses for its MegaPressG and MegaPress stainless line. That matters if you are running a system where carbon steel would corrode, such as damp mechanical rooms, coastal sites, or process piping, and it is why this fitting is specified in place of the black carbon steel MegaPress fittings.
3) Do I need a special press tool jaw for a 1 inch MegaPress 45 degree elbow?
You press it with a press tool fitted with the 1 inch jaw matched to the MegaPress profile. The fitting itself is a 1 inch press by 1 inch press 45, so one jaw size covers both ends.
4) What does Smart Connect technology do on this Viega elbow?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: a joint that has been left unpressed will leak visibly during pressure testing, so the installer finds it on the test rather than after the walls are closed. On a 1 inch 45 degree elbow that is useful on long offset runs where a fitting is easy to skip.
5) Can I mix this 316 stainless MegaPress elbow with carbon steel MegaPress fittings on the same run?
Keep the material consistent. The 91765 is 316 stainless, and joining dissimilar metals in a piping run invites galvanic corrosion at the junction. If the run is stainless, stay with stainless MegaPress fittings for it; if it is black carbon steel pipe, use the carbon steel MegaPress line instead.
6) Should I use a 45 degree elbow or two 90s for an offset?
A pair of 45s like the Viega 91765 makes a shallower offset with less flow restriction than two 90s, and it is the usual choice for jogging around an obstruction in a 1 inch run. Use 90s when you need a hard change of direction in a tight space. Either way, with press fittings each turn is another joint and another press cycle, so keep the count down.
7) Where is the Viega 91765 MegaPress fitting made?
Made in Germany. That is often asked on institutional and government jobs where country of origin has to be documented in the submittal package.
