Viega 95490 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Viega MegaPress 95490 transition coupling actually connect?
It joins IPS-sized pipe on one end to CTS-sized pipe on the other, 2 inch to 2 inch. The connection is listed as P1 (IPS) x P2 (CTS), so it is the fitting you use where 2 inch iron pipe size carbon steel meets 2 inch copper tube size. Both ends are press, not threaded or soldered.
2) Can I use the Viega 95490 to adapt 2 inch black iron pipe to 2 inch copper without threading or soldering?
That is exactly what the 95490 is for. The IPS end presses onto 2 inch iron pipe size pipe and the CTS end presses onto 2 inch copper tube size, so the transition is made with a press tool on both sides. No cutting threads, no torch, no flux. Pipe ends still need to be cut square, deburred and marked to full insertion depth.
3) Is the MegaPress 95490 a tee or a straight coupling? The part data is confusing.
It is a straight transition coupling, two ends only, IPS on one side and CTS on the other. If you need a branch takeoff you want a MegaPress tee instead, not this part. Order the 95490 when you are simply continuing a 2 inch run across a change in pipe sizing standard.
4) Is the Viega 95490 coupling stainless or carbon steel, and does that matter for my system?
The 95490 body is 304 stainless steel. That matters if you are working on a system where carbon steel fittings would be the wrong call, such as wet environments or lines where corrosion resistance is specified. Note it is a stainless body, not a copper or brass fitting, so plan your dielectric and material compatibility accordingly.
5) What is Smart Connect on the Viega 95490, and do I still have to verify the joint?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed fitting will leak visibly during pressure testing so you can find and press it before the system is closed up. It is a verification aid, not a substitute for pressing. Every joint on the 95490 still has to be fully pressed with the correct 2 inch tool and jaw or ring.
6) Will one Viega 95490 handle a 2 inch to 2 inch transition, or do I need a reducer too?
One fitting does it. Both ends are nominal 2 inch, so no reducing bushing or second fitting is needed. Keep in mind IPS and CTS nominal 2 inch are different actual outside diameters, which is why the coupling has a distinct press profile on each end. Mark which end is which before you set it.
7) Where is the Viega 95490 MegaPress coupling made? I have a Buy American style spec to satisfy.
The 95490 is made in Germany. If your project carries a domestic sourcing requirement, that country of origin is what goes on your submittal, and you should confirm it is acceptable before you spec the fitting in.
8) What part number do I give my supplier for the Viega 2 inch MegaPress IPS to CTS stainless transition coupling?
Order by Viega part number 95490. That is the single orderable model for the 2 inch x 2 inch 304 stainless MegaPress transition coupling with Smart Connect.
