Viega 98305 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What connections does the Viega 98305 MegaPress adapter have?
The Viega 98305 is a 3 inch press by 3 inch male pipe thread adapter (P x MPT). One end presses onto 3 inch pipe with a MegaPress tool and jaw, the other threads into a 3 inch female NPT port, so it is the transition fitting between a pressed run and threaded equipment like a valve, strainer or gauge manifold.
2) Is the Viega 98305 MegaPress fitting stainless or carbon steel?
It is 316 stainless steel through the body, not carbon steel. That matters when you are pressing onto a system where a carbon steel MegaPress fitting would corrode, and 316 is the grade usually specified for chloride exposure, wash-down areas and chemical or coastal service.
3) Does the 98305 MegaPress adapter tell you if the joint was pressed?
Yes. It uses Viega's Smart Connect feature, which leaks visibly at an unpressed connection during pressure testing so the installer can find the joint that was missed. On a 3 inch line that is the difference between finding a skipped press at test and finding it after the ceiling is closed.
4) Do I need sealant on the threaded end of the 98305 adapter?
The MPT end is a standard male pipe thread, so it gets thread sealant or PTFE tape the same as any tapered NPT joint. The press end needs no sealant, no dope and no heat, it seals on the factory-installed sealing element when the jaw crimps it.
5) What part number should I order for a 3 inch MegaPress 316 stainless adapter with male threads?
Viega part number 98305, a 3 inch press by 3 inch MPT adapter in 316 stainless. One size only, so there is nothing else to specify on the order beyond quantity.
6) Where is the Viega 98305 made?
Germany. That origin statement is the one institutional and government buyers usually need for procurement paperwork on MegaPress stainless fittings.
