Viega 98320 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of connection does the Viega 98320 MegaPress adapter have on each end?
The 98320 is a P x FPT adapter: one press end and one female pipe thread end. The press side goes onto the pipe with a MegaPress jaw, and the threaded side takes a male-threaded nipple, valve, or component. That makes it the transition piece when you need to get from a pressed run to a threaded device.
2) Can I thread a valve straight onto the Viega 98320 instead of welding?
That is exactly what the part is for. The FPT end accepts a 3 inch male-threaded valve, nipple, or gauge assembly, and the press end joins the pipe without hot work. On occupied buildings and retrofits where a hot work permit is the bottleneck, this is the way to land a threaded device on a 3 inch line.
3) Is the Viega 98320 MegaPress fitting stainless or carbon steel?
It is 316 stainless steel throughout. That is the corrosion-resistant grade Viega uses for its stainless MegaPress line, so it suits applications where a carbon steel press fitting would not hold up. Don't substitute it into a carbon steel MegaPress run without confirming your system spec allows mixing metals.
4) Is the Viega 98320 a tee or an adapter?
Ordered as Viega 98320, it is a 3 inch press by 3 inch FPT adapter with a press end and a threaded end. If you need a third branch off the run, this is not the part, you want a 3 inch MegaPress stainless tee instead.
5) What does Smart Connect do on the Viega 98320?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature. On an unpressed fitting it deliberately leaks during pressure test so the installer can find the joint they missed before the system is closed in. It is a QA aid, not a seal, so every joint still has to be pressed with the correct jaw.
6) Where is the Viega 98320 MegaPress fitting made?
Germany. For public and institutional jobs with country-of-origin reporting on the submittal package, that is the figure to put on the form.
