Viega 98340 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the FTG x P connection on the Viega 98340 MegaPress reducer mean for how it installs?
FTG x P means one end is fitting-end (street) and the other is a press socket. The 3 inch FTG end slips inside the socket of another MegaPress fitting the way a street fitting does, while the 2-1/2 inch P end presses onto 2-1/2 inch pipe. So you can go straight from a 3 inch fitting into 2-1/2 inch pipe without adding a short nipple between them.
2) Will the Viega 98340 reducer press onto black iron pipe, or only copper?
MegaPress is the black-iron/carbon steel press system, not the copper one. The 98340 reduces 3 inch to 2-1/2 inch on schedule pipe in a MegaPress run. For copper tube you would be looking at Viega's ProPress line instead, which is a different jaw set and a different fitting.
3) What is Smart Connect on this Viega MegaPress fitting and why does it matter on an inspection?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that leaves an unpressed connection deliberately leaky when the system is put under pressure. On a 3 inch to 2-1/2 inch reducer buried in a mechanical room, that is how you find the joint you missed during pressure test rather than after the ceiling closes. It does not change the fitting's geometry or the tool required.
4) Can I use a MegaPress reducer instead of cutting threads on a 3 inch to 2-1/2 inch transition?
That is exactly what it is for. Instead of threading 3 inch and 2-1/2 inch pipe, you cut, deburr, mark depth and press. For maintenance crews working in an occupied building the press method avoids the hot work permit and the cutting oil that come with threading, and the 98340 covers the 3 inch to 2-1/2 inch step in one 5.551 inch long fitting.
5) Is the Viega 98340 the right part number to order, and where is it made?
Order it as Viega 98340, the MegaPress 3 inch x 2-1/2 inch FTG x P reducer. It is made in Germany. That MPN is the whole item, there are no finish or size options to pick on it.
