Viega 95725 MegaPress flange Smart Connect technology 304 stainless steel, 3''

The Viega 95725 MegaPress flange is a 3 inch fitting, with a press connection on the pipe side. It is built for 3 inch black iron or carbon steel pipe systems where the press end replaces threading or welding at that size. Order number is 95725.

No. The pipe side is a press connection, so the 3 inch pipe is cut, deburred, marked for insertion depth and pressed with a MegaPress tool and jaw or ring sized for 3 inch. No threading, no cutting oil, no hot work permit. The flange face then bolts to the mating flange with the appropriate gasket and bolt set, which are not part of the fitting.

It is made from 304 stainless steel. That matters when you are matching material for a job spec or deciding what sealing element and pipe material the run will see, since the flange body itself will not be the same alloy as the black steel pipe it presses onto.

Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: the sealing element is shaped so an unpressed joint leaks deliberately during pressure testing, letting you find the missed connection before the system is closed in. It is a commissioning aid, not a substitute for pressing every joint.

A press flange is the choice when you need a bolted transition to a valve, pump, or equipment connection but cannot run a torch or a threading machine on site, occupied buildings, mechanical rooms with no hot work permit, retrofits over a ceiling. The 95725 gives you a 3 inch press end on the pipe and a flange face on the equipment side. If the line is already threaded and accessible, a threaded companion flange does the same job without a press tool; if you have full weld access and a welder on site, a weld neck flange is the conventional route.
