Viega 95305 MegaPress coupling With stop Smart Connect technology 304 stainless steel, 2'' x 2''

The MegaPress 95305 is a 2 inch by 2 inch coupling, so both press ends take 2 inch pipe. It is a straight, same-size connection, not a reducer.

With stop means there is an internal shoulder in the middle of the coupling, so each pipe end butts against it and seats at a fixed insertion depth. That is what you want on a normal run where you can slide both pipe ends in. A coupling without a stop (a slip or repair coupling) lets you slide the fitting fully onto one pipe and back over the joint, which is what you use on a fixed run you cannot pull apart. For a straightforward 2 inch joint, the 95305 with stop is the right choice.

The 95305 is a 304 stainless steel body. MegaPress stainless fittings are the stainless-pipe version of the system; the carbon steel MegaPress fittings are a separate zinc-nickel coated line. Match the fitting metal to your pipe to avoid putting dissimilar metals in the joint, so use the 304 stainless 95305 on stainless pipe.

Smart Connect is a feature in the sealing element that lets an unpressed joint leak on purpose during test, so an accidentally skipped connection shows itself instead of hiding behind a dry fitting. On a run with dozens of 2 inch joints, that is how you find the one you missed before the ceiling closes in.

No. Both ends of the 95305 are press connections, so the install is cut, deburr, mark insertion depth, and press with a 2 inch jaw. No threading, no solder, no hot work permit. The sealing element comes installed in the fitting.

No. A press joint is a permanent cold-formed connection. If the 95305 is pressed out of position, cut the fitting out and install a new one. Order a spare or two on any run of size for that reason.
