Viega 98550 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Viega MegaPress 98550 cap fit?
The Viega 98550 MegaPress cap is a 4 inch fitting, so it presses onto 4 inch pipe. It is press-connect on that end, no threading or welding needed.
2) Is the Viega 98550 MegaPress cap stainless or carbon steel?
It is 316 stainless steel, which is the grade Viega uses for its stainless MegaPress line. That matters if you are capping a line carrying anything corrosive or running in a wet or washdown environment, where a carbon steel MegaPress fitting would not be the right call. The 98550 is made in Germany.
3) Does the Viega 98550 cap have Smart Connect, and what does that actually do for me on the job?
Yes, the 98550 carries Viega's Smart Connect feature. It is the designed leak path in the sealing element that lets an unpressed fitting weep during pressure test, so you find the joint you missed before the system is buried or insulated. On a 4 inch cap that is the difference between a quick test and chasing a leak behind finished work.
4) How much room do I need to press a 4 inch MegaPress cap at the end of a run?
The cap itself measures 5.193 inches long and 4.5 by 4.5 inches across, so plan for that plus clearance for the press jaw or chain around the pipe. Tight against a wall or a joist, the jaw, not the fitting, is what runs out of space first.
5) Can I use a MegaPress cap instead of a threaded cap on 4 inch pipe?
Yes, and that is the point of it. A threaded cap needs the pipe end cut, reamed and threaded; the 98550 presses straight onto plain-end 4 inch pipe with no flame and no thread cutting, which is why it gets used for dead-ends, future taps and capping off an abandoned branch in an occupied building. Order it when you want a permanent cap, not a serviceable one, since a press joint is not meant to come back apart.
