Viega 98360 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPress 98360 coupling join?
The 98360 is a 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch MegaPress coupling, so it joins two runs of 2-1/2 inch pipe in line. Both ends are press connections (P1 x P2), not threaded or grooved, so you press it with a MegaPress jaw or ring sized for 2-1/2 inch.
2) What does "no stop" mean on this Viega MegaPress coupling, and when do I want it?
No stop means there is no internal tube stop in the middle of the coupling, so pipe can slide all the way through from either end. That is what you need for a repair or tie-in where both pipe ends are already fixed in place and you cannot spring them apart: slide the coupling fully onto one side, bring the second pipe in, then slide it back to center and press both ends. Mark your insertion depth first, since without a stop nothing sets the depth for you. On a new run where you can seat the pipe against a stop, a standard stop coupling is the easier choice.
3) Is the Viega 98360 coupling stainless steel or carbon steel, and what pipe can it go on?
It is built from 316 stainless steel, which is the MegaPress stainless line rather than the carbon steel MegaPress used on black iron. Match the fitting metal to the pipe you are pressing: the 316 body is the one specified for stainless pipe systems and for wet or corrosive environments where carbon steel would rust out. The connection style is press on both ends.
4) What is Smart Connect technology on Viega MegaPress fittings?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed connection feature. If a fitting gets left unpressed during a pressure test, the sealing element lets the medium escape past it so the installer can find the miss instead of discovering it after the walls are closed. The 98360 coupling carries it.
5) How much room do I need around a 2-1/2 inch MegaPress no-stop coupling to get a press jaw on it?
The coupling body itself runs 4.921 inches long and 3.543 inches across in both height and width. Add clearance beyond that for the press ring and actuator jaw to swing, and remember a no-stop coupling needs extra straight pipe on one side so you can slide the whole body back before centering it.
6) Is the Viega 98360 a tee or a coupling?
It is a straight coupling, a two-end inline joint. It does not branch. If you need a 2-1/2 inch branch off the main, you want a MegaPress stainless tee instead.
7) How heavy is a 2-1/2 inch MegaPress stainless coupling for overhead hanger spacing?
The fitting weighs 1.741 lbs on its own. That is the fitting only, so add it to the filled weight of the pipe run when you size hangers or figure a support near the joint.
