Viega 98450 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes are the three outlets on the Viega MegaPress 98450 tee?
The MegaPress 98450 is a reducing tee sized 2-1/2 inch x 2-1/2 inch x 1-1/2 inch. The run is 2-1/2 inch on both ends and the branch is 1-1/2 inch, so you can take a smaller branch line off a 2-1/2 inch main without adding a separate bushing or reducer.
2) Are all three ends of the Viega 98450 tee press connections, or is one threaded?
All three ends are press. The connection type is listed as P1 x P2 x P3, meaning every outlet is a press socket, so the fitting goes on with a press tool and jaw set rather than threading or welding.
3) Can I mix the Viega 98450 stainless tee into a carbon steel MegaPress line?
Don't. The 98450 is a 316 stainless steel fitting. Pressing stainless directly to carbon steel pipe puts two dissimilar metals in contact, which invites galvanic corrosion at the joint, and the stainless MegaPress line is built for stainless pipe. For a carbon steel run, order the carbon steel MegaPress tee in the same 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 configuration.
4) Is the Viega 98450 MegaPress tee suitable for a corrosive or wet environment?
It is made from 316 stainless steel, the molybdenum-bearing grade used where chloride exposure and corrosion are a concern. That makes it a fit for applications where a carbon steel press fitting would rust out, and it is a common choice on stainless piping systems in food service, healthcare, and industrial work. The fitting is made in Germany.
5) What does Smart Connect mean on the Viega 98450, and do I still have to pressure test?
Smart Connect is a deliberate feature in the sealing element that lets an unpressed connection leak during test, so an installer can find a joint that was missed before the system is put into service. It is a verification aid, not a substitute for the pressure test. Press every joint and test the line.
6) What part number do I order for a 2-1/2 inch Viega MegaPress stainless tee with a 1-1/2 inch branch?
Order Viega part number 98450. That is the 316 stainless MegaPress tee in 2-1/2 inch x 2-1/2 inch x 1-1/2 inch with press connections on all three outlets. Specify the full number when quoting, because MegaPress tees run in both carbon steel and stainless and the sizes step closely together.
