Viega 95270 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of connection does the Viega MegaPress 95270 adapter have on each end?
The 95270 MegaPress adapter is P x FPT, meaning one end is a press socket that goes onto the pipe with a press tool and the other is female pipe thread. That's the fitting you use to get from pressed carbon steel pipe to a threaded component, like a valve, gauge, union, or a piece of threaded equipment, without cutting a thread on the pipe itself.
2) What pipe size does the Viega 95270 MegaPress adapter take?
It is a 1 inch by 1 inch fitting: the press end takes 1 inch pipe and the female thread is 1 inch NPT. Overall it measures 2.76 inches long by 1.78 by 1.78 inches and weighs 0.538 lbs, so it clears tight hangers and close-to-wall work.
3) Is the Viega 95270 adapter stainless or carbon steel, and does that matter for my system?
The 95270 body is 304 stainless steel. Stainless MegaPress fittings are the ones specified where the pipe run itself is stainless or where corrosion resistance is the driver, as opposed to the carbon steel MegaPress fittings used on standard black iron pipe. Match the fitting metal to the pipe you are pressing onto so you are not creating a dissimilar metal joint.
4) What does Smart Connect do on a MegaPress fitting, and do I still have to press it?
Smart Connect is a feature of the sealing element that lets an unpressed connection leak intentionally during pressure testing, so an inspector or installer can spot a joint that was missed before the system is buttoned up. It is a verification aid, not a substitute for pressing. Every 95270 joint still has to be pressed with the proper MegaPress jaw for 1 inch.
5) Can I use a MegaPress adapter instead of threading the pipe on a 1 inch steel line?
That's exactly what the 95270 is for. Press the 1 inch press end onto the prepared pipe end with a press tool, and the 1 inch female NPT end gives you the thread for your valve or fitting. No cutting oil, no threading machine, no hot work. The tradeoff is that you need the press tool and the correct 1 inch jaw on site.
6) Is the Viega 95270 a tee or a two-ended adapter?
It is a two-ended adapter, press on one side and 1 inch female thread on the other. If you need a branch takeoff rather than a transition, a MegaPress tee in 1 inch is the part to look for instead, not this adapter.
7) Where is the Viega 95270 MegaPress adapter made?
Germany. That is relevant on institutional and government jobs where country of origin has to be documented in the submittal package.
