Viega 98490 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size branch does the Viega MegaPress 98490 stainless tee have?
The 98490 is a reducing tee: 4 inch run on both ends with a 3 inch branch, written 4 x 4 x 3. All three ends are press connections (P1 x P2 x P3), so the run stays 4 inch and only the takeoff steps down to 3 inch. If you need a full 4 x 4 x 4, this is not the fitting.
2) Is the Viega 98490 tee carbon steel or stainless?
It's 316 stainless steel, not carbon steel. That matters for pipe selection: press fittings are matched to the pipe material, so a 316 stainless MegaPress tee goes on stainless pipe, not on black iron. 316 is the molybdenum-bearing grade, which is why it gets specified where chlorides or wash-down conditions would attack a carbon steel system.
3) What does Smart Connect mean on a Viega MegaPress fitting?
Smart Connect is Viega's unpressed-connection feature: an unpressed joint leaks visibly during pressure testing so the installer can find it and press it. On a three-port fitting like the 4 x 4 x 3 tee, that's three separate presses to keep track of, which is exactly where a missed connection tends to happen.
4) How much does the Viega 98490 4 x 4 x 3 stainless tee weigh, and how big is it?
About 7.037 lbs, measuring 11.614 x 7.988 x 5.193 inches. At that size and weight you want the pipe supported and aligned before pressing, and enough clearance around the fitting for a large-diameter press ring and actuator to swing on each of the three ports.
5) Do I need to thread or weld the 3 inch branch on this Viega tee?
No. All three outlets are press ends, so the branch takes a 3 inch press connection the same way the 4 inch run does. No threading, no welding, no hot work permit for the joint itself. If your branch has to land on threaded pipe, you'd press to an adapter rather than modify this tee.
6) Where is the Viega 98490 MegaPress tee made?
Made in Germany. For spec-driven jobs where country of origin has to be documented in the submittal, that's the stated origin for this 316 stainless MegaPress tee.
7) What part number do I order for a Viega MegaPress 316 stainless 4 x 4 x 3 tee?
Viega part number 98490. That's the manufacturer part number for the MegaPress 316 stainless reducing tee in 4 x 4 x 3.
