Viega 98405 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Viega 98405 elbow stainless or carbon steel?
It's 316 stainless steel, not carbon. That matters on the job because 316 is the alloy you specify where there's chloride exposure or corrosive service, and because you should not mix it into a carbon steel MegaPress run without addressing dissimilar metal contact.
2) Do I need to thread or weld 2-1/2 inch pipe to use this Viega elbow?
No. Both ends of the 98405 are press connections, so the 2-1/2 inch pipe is cut, deburred, marked and pressed with a Viega-approved tool and jaw or ring. No threading, no torch, no hot work permit.
3) What does Smart Connect mean on this Viega press elbow?
Smart Connect is Viega's feature that lets an unpressed joint leak during pressure testing so the installer can find it before the system goes into service. On a 2-1/2 inch 316 stainless elbow like the 98405, that's the check you rely on when the fitting is buried in a rack of pipe.
4) How much clearance do I need to install the 2-1/2 inch MegaPress stainless elbow?
The fitting body itself measures 7.717 inches by 7.717 inches by 3.543 inches and weighs 3.438 lbs. Lay that out against your hanger spacing and wall clearance, and remember you also need room to get the press tool jaw or chain around the fitting at each end.
5) Does the Viega 98405 come with sealing elements, or do I order those separately?
The 98405 is a complete press fitting with the sealing element in each end already installed. What you supply is the correctly sized 2-1/2 inch pipe and a Viega-approved press tool with the matching jaw or ring for 2-1/2 inch.
6) What is the manufacturer part number and where is the Viega MegaPress 2-1/2 inch stainless 90 elbow made?
Order it as Viega part 98405. It's made in Germany.
