Viega 98455 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size reduction does the Viega 98455 MegaPress tee make?
The Viega 98455 is a reducing press tee sized 2-1/2 inch x 2-1/2 inch x 2 inch. The run stays 2-1/2 inch on both ends and the branch drops to 2 inch, so you can pull a 2 inch takeoff off a 2-1/2 inch main without adding a separate bushing or reducer.
2) Is the Viega 98455 MegaPress tee press-fit on all three ends, or does one side thread?
All three outlets are press connections, listed as P1 x P2 x P3. There is no threaded or grooved end on it, so every joint gets made with a press tool and the correct jaw or ring for the size, 2-1/2 inch on the run and 2 inch on the branch.
3) Is the Viega 98455 press tee stainless or carbon steel?
It is 316 stainless steel, the more corrosion resistant of the two MegaPress bodies. That matters if the line runs anywhere damp, coastal, chemically aggressive, or in a process or food service environment where a carbon steel press fitting would rust at the joint.
4) How much room do I need to fit a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 2 MegaPress tee in a tight ceiling space?
Plan the pocket around 7.953 inches length, 5.866 inches width, and 3.543 inches height for the fitting body itself. On top of that you need swing clearance for the press jaw or chain ring around each of the three outlets, which is the usual limiting factor in a joisted ceiling or a crowded rack.
5) What does Smart Connect do on this Viega MegaPress tee?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-joint feature: an unpressed connection leaks visibly during pressure test so it gets caught before the ceiling closes. On a three-outlet fitting like the 98455 that is worth knowing about, since it is easy to press two ends and walk away from the third.
6) Should I use a MegaPress stainless tee or a welded fitting on 2-1/2 inch steel pipe?
Press is the no-flame option. On 2-1/2 inch schedule pipe, a welded or threaded branch means hot work permits, a fire watch, and cutting threads on the jobsite; the 98455 makes the same 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 2 branch cold with a press tool. Where the line is stainless or the environment is corrosive, the 316 body matches the pipe rather than introducing a dissimilar carbon steel fitting.
7) Where is the Viega 98455 MegaPress tee made?
Made in Germany. That is often the detail a spec-driven or government job needs on the submittal, alongside the 316 stainless material call-out.
8) What is the manufacturer part number for the 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 2 MegaPress stainless tee?
Viega part number 98455. Quote that number when matching a submittal or reordering, since MegaPress reducing tees run in closely spaced sizes and a neighbouring number will be a different branch size.
