Viega 98425 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three connections on the Viega 98425 MegaPress tee?
The Viega 98425 is a 3 inch x 3 inch x 3/4 inch tee with a press x press x female threaded configuration (P1 x P2 x FPT). The two 3 inch run ends are MegaPress press connections made onto pipe with a press tool; the 3/4 inch branch is a female NPT thread, so a threaded nipple, valve, gauge or sensor tapping screws straight in with no press on that leg.
2) Is the Viega 98425 tee stainless or carbon steel?
It is 316 stainless steel, not carbon. That matters on the job because carbon steel MegaPress fittings and stainless MegaPress fittings are not interchangeable in a system where corrosion resistance is the reason for the spec. If the drawing calls for 316 stainless piping, this 3 x 3 x 3/4 tee matches it; if you are running black iron or carbon steel, you want the carbon version instead.
3) What does Smart Connect on a Viega MegaPress fitting actually do for the installer?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed fitting leaks visibly during pressure testing so it gets found on the test rather than after the wall is closed. On a 3 inch run like the 98425 tee, that is the difference between catching a missed press at test and chasing it later.
4) Can I use the 3/4 inch branch on this Viega tee for a drain, gauge or sensor tapping?
Yes. The branch is a 3/4 inch female pipe thread, so any 3/4 inch male NPT device (drain valve, pressure gauge, thermowell, sensor tee fitting) threads directly into it. You supply the thread sealant and the threaded device; the tee is the fitting only.
5) Is the Viega 98425 tee made in the USA?
No. The 98425 MegaPress stainless tee is made in Germany. If you are working a project with domestic-sourcing requirements, that is the detail to check against your submittal before you specify it.
