Common Questions
- Which pipe does this fitting fit?
- This MegaPress 304 FKM fitting is made for use with Sch. 5 to Sch. 40 stainless steel pipe. It is IPS sized: an CTS pipe of the same nominal size has a different outside diameter and will not seal in it.
- Which press tool and jaw do I need?
- Press it with jaws or rings made for the MegaPress profile. A jaw made for a different profile will not make a warrantable joint.
- What temperature and pressure is it rated for?
- It seals with a factory-installed FKM sealing element, rated 14°F to 284°F (Viega seals and gaskets data). Viega's application chart rates this system to 200 psi.
- Can it be used on drinking water?
- Viega's application chart does not list MegaPress 304 FKM for potable water. For drinking water use ProPress copper, ProPress 316 or MegaPress 316 with an EPDM element.
- How do I find a joint that was not pressed?
- Smart Connect technology: an unpressed connection leaks during a low-pressure test, so a missed press is found before the system goes into service.
