Viega 98330 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does FTG x P mean on the Viega 98330 MegaPress reducer?
FTG x P describes the two ends. The FTG (fitting) end is sized to slip into another MegaPress fitting's press socket, and the P end is a press socket that receives pipe. So the 2-1/2 inch end goes into a mating fitting, and the 2 inch end presses onto pipe. If you need a socket on both ends instead, you want a P x P reducer, not this one.
2) Will the Viega 98330 reduce a 2-1/2 inch MegaPress line down to 2 inch pipe?
That is exactly what it does, 2-1/2 inch by 2 inch. Keep in mind the 2-1/2 inch side is the FTG end, so it inserts into a 2-1/2 inch MegaPress socket rather than accepting pipe. The 2 inch side is the press socket for the smaller pipe run.
3) How much room do I need to fit a 2-1/2 x 2 inch MegaPress reducer in a tight ceiling space?
The 98330 reducer measures 4.996 inches long with a 2.894 inch height and 2.894 inch width, and weighs 1.433 lbs. Allow clearance beyond that for the press jaw or ring to wrap the socket and rotate, which is usually the limiting factor in a joist bay or above a ceiling grid.
4) What is Smart Connect on this Viega MegaPress fitting and why does it matter on a punch list?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed connection leak visibly during pressure testing, so an installer finds the missed joint at test rather than after the system is charged and closed in. It is a jobsite verification aid, not a substitute for pressing every socket on the 98330.
5) Do I need to order a separate press tool jaw for the 2 inch end of this MegaPress reducer?
Pressing is done with a Viega-approved press tool and the jaw or ring matched to the socket size, and none of that tooling comes with the fitting. The 98330 has a single 2 inch press socket, so you need the 2 inch MegaPress tooling on hand; the 2-1/2 inch FTG end is pressed by the jaw sized for the mating fitting it inserts into.
6) What part number do I give my supplier for a Viega MegaPress 2-1/2 x 2 inch reducer?
Order Viega part 98330. That number covers the MegaPress reducer in 2-1/2 inch by 2 inch with an FTG x P end configuration.
