Viega 98460 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega 98460 MegaPress tee fit?
The 98460 is a 3 inch x 3 inch x 2 inch reducing tee. The run presses onto 3 inch pipe at both ends and the branch takes 2 inch, so use it where you are pulling a 2 inch branch off a 3 inch main. All three ends are press connections (P1 x P2 x P3), not threaded or grooved.
2) Is the Viega 98460 MegaPress tee stainless or carbon steel?
It is 316 stainless steel, which is the corrosion resistant grade with molybdenum added, so it suits wetter or chemically aggressive service where plain carbon steel MegaPress would rust. Carbon steel MegaPress fittings are the black iron equivalent and are not interchangeable with stainless in a corrosive application.
3) Do I need to weld or thread this 3 inch tee in?
No. This is a press fitting. The 3 x 3 x 2 tee goes on with a press tool and jaw sized for the connection, so there is no cutting oil, no threading, and no hot work permit. That is the main reason crews pick MegaPress over welded or threaded black pipe on occupied buildings.
4) What does Smart Connect mean on this Viega tee?
Smart Connect is the feature built into the sealing element that lets an unpressed connection leak visibly during pressure testing, so an installer can find a joint that was missed before the system is put into service. On a 3 x 3 x 2 tee with three separate press points, that matters, because it is easy to press two ends and walk away from the third.
5) What part number should I give my distributor for the Viega 3 x 3 x 2 stainless MegaPress tee?
Order Viega part number 98460. That is the MegaPress 316 stainless reducing tee, 3 inch x 3 inch x 2 inch.
6) Can I use this tee to reduce from 3 inch down to 2 inch on the main run?
No. On the 98460 the run stays 3 inch end to end and only the branch reduces to 2 inch. To step a 3 inch main down to 2 inch you need a reducer or a reducing coupling, not this tee.
7) Where is the Viega 98460 MegaPress tee made?
Made in Germany. Useful if you are filing country of origin documentation on a government or institutional job.
