Viega MegaPressG fittings for fuel gas or fuel oil systems shall be used with ASTM A53 schedule 40 carbon steel pipe. MegaPressG is CSA LC4 approved for fuel oil and fuel gas installations. Viega MegaPress fittings and valves are constructed of carbon steel with a corrosion-resistant zinc/nickel coating ranging from ½" to 2" for MegaPress and ½" to 4" for MegaPress FKM and MegaPressG. The Viega MegaPress fitting system is offered in configurations that allow for the installation of the vast majority of carbon steel piping applications in the residential, commercial, and industrial markets. MegaPress fittings may be used with seamless (S) or longitudinal welded (W) steel pipes. MegaPress ½" to 2" fittings with an EPDM sealing element and MegaPress FKM 2½" to 4" fittings may be installed in NFPA 13, 13R, and 13D fire sprinkler systems. They are certified for use in "wet" and "dry" fire protection systems in accordance with UL and FM certifications: UL/ANSI 213: Standard for Rubber Gasketed Fittings for Fire-Protection Services. ULC ORD-C213: Canadian Standard for Rubber Gasketed Fittings for FireProtection Services. FM Class 1920: Pipe Couplings and Fittings for Aboveground Fire Protection Systems. Viega MegaPress systems can help reduce installation time up to 90 percent compared to traditional methods of pipe joining. Threading and welding can be messy and time consuming, and connections are not always reliable. With Viega press technology, installers can make consistent, secure press connections in a matter of seconds without flame or heavy equipment. MegaPress fittings feature a green dot with an EPDM sealing element while MegaPress FKM fittings have a white dot with an FKM sealing element. MegaPressG fittings have a yellow dot with an HNBR sealing element. All use Viega's unique, patented Smart Connect technology to help installers ensure that they have pressed all connections. The fittings require no soldering or welding and are installed with electrohydraulic press tools (battery-powered or corded press tools). Viega MegaPress fittings can be utilized for a wide variety of applications in industrial, commercial, or residential projects. DANGER! Read and understand all instructions for installing Viega MegaPress fittings. Failure to follow all instructions may result in extensive property damage, serious injury, or death. 4 PG-MP 724453 0120 MegaPress Systems Introduction Smart Connect Technology Security Under Pressure Locating unpressed connections is an important step in the pressure testing process. Viega MegaPress fittings include Smart Connect technology, providing quick and easy identification of unpressed connections during a pressure test. Smart Connect technology is an integral part of the design of the fitting, providing a path for liquids and/or gases from inside the system past the sealing element of an unpressed connection. When pressed according to our Product Instructions, the fluid path is altered, creating a leak-proof, reliable connection. Unpressed connections are located by pressurizing the system with air or water. When testing with water the proper pressure range is 15 to 85 psi. Pressure testing with air can be dangerous at high pressures. When testing with compressed air the proper pressure range is ½ to 45 psi. Following a successful Smart Connect test, the system may be pressure tested up to 600 psi maximum for water and 200 psi maximum for air if required by local code requirements. 1Identify an unpressed connection during pressure testing when water flows past the sealing element. 2 Upon identification, use the press tool to press the fitting, making a secure, leakproof connection. 3 Viega MegaPress connections are fast, flameless, and reliable.

Definition: FKM Fluoroelastomer, dull black in color The unique properties of the HNBR sealing element have resulted in the wide adoption of it in automotive, industrial, and assorted performance-demanding applications (e.g., engine seals, grommets, and gaskets; fuel system seals and hoses; transmission system bonded piston seals; chevron seals, oil field packers, and rotary shaft seals). The HNBR sealing element is not suitable for food contact applications and cannot be installed in drinking water applications. Operating Temperature: 14°F to 284°F (with temperature spikes up to 356°F) PG-MP 724453 0120 MegaPress Systems 15 Technical Information Viega MegaPress Pipe Marking Guide Viega MegaPress ½" to 4" fittings are compatible with ASTM A53, A135, A106, and A795 carbon steel and galvanized steel pipe.

Without a stop, these couplings can slide completely onto a pipe and allow a connection to be made in tighter spaces. Unlike fittings with an integrated stop that have a minimum insertion depth, no-stop couplings have minimum and maximum allowable insertion depths. The minimum and the maximum insertion depths should be marked and a line should connect the two marks. Drawing a line between the minimum and maximum insertion marks distinguishes a good connection on a nostop coupling from a bad connection on a coupling with a stop.

Welding Adjacent to a Press Fitting To prevent damage to the sealing element, maintain proper welding distances from the fitting. If welding adjacent to the connection, weld a minimum of four inches away. Welding In Line with a Press Fitting To prevent damage to the sealing element, maintain proper welding distances from the fitting. If welding in line with the connection, weld a minimum of three feet away from the connection. Welding Requirements The installer should take precautions to keep the MegaPress connection cool: Wrap the connection with a cold wet rag. Protect the connection with a weld blanket. Prefabricate solder connections/welded fittings prior to installing the press fitting. (Ensure pipe has cooled before installing the press fitting.) Apply heat sink gel or spray or spot freezing.

Compensation must be allowed for expansion and contraction that may occur within the piping system. Expansion joints or mechanical expansion compensators may be used to alleviate these stresses. Electrical Bonding When properly installed, MegaPress fittings comply with Section 1211.15 Electrical Bonding and Grounding of the Uniform Plumbing Code. The mechanical press provides continuous metal-to-metal contact between fitting and pipe. The press ensures the continuity of the bonding through this contact. Exposure to Freezing Temperatures Viega MegaPress systems with EPDM sealing elements can be installed in ambient temperatures down to 0°F. The FKM sealing element available with Viega MegaPress FKM fittings can be installed in ambient temperatures down to 14°F. The HNBR sealing element available with Viega MegaPressG fittings can be installed in ambient temperatures down to -40°F. When the contents could freeze, piping must be protected per acceptable engineering practices, codes, and as required by local code. Concealed Spaces Viega MegaPressG has been examined according to the construction and performance criteria in the CSA requirement LC-4 and was found acceptable. Specific performance tests were conducted to evaluate the fittings for use in concealed locations. Corrosion Protection Viega MegaPress fittings exposed to corrosive action, such as soil conditions or moisture, must be protected in an approved manner in accordance with NFPA 54 Section 404.8, NACE Standard RP0169-2002 Section 5, 2009 UPC Chapter 6 Section 609.3.1, 2009 UMC Chapter 13 Section 1312.1.3, and in a manner satisfactory to local code requirements. Care should be taken to select hangers of suitable material that is galvanically compatible with the piping system. In addition, systems should be properly sized to minimize the risk of erosion corrosion resulting from excessive velocities. Transition Fittings Threaded Viega MegaPress systems can be joined with off-the-shelf threaded fittings made of non-ferrous metals. In this regard: The threaded connection is made first. The press connection is made second. Underground Installations Viega MegaPress fitting systems and carbon steel pipe are approved for underground installations. However, installations must meet all state and local codes, including those for underground. Proper authorization must be obtained prior to installation from the Authority Having Jurisdiction. This process avoids unnecessary torsion on the press fitting. Transition Fittings Flange When using Viega flanges, bolt the flange end in place prior to pressing the fitting to the pipe. 18 PG-MP 724453 0120 MegaPress Systems Technical Information Deflection The pressing process can cause deflection (angular misalignment) to occur. When pressing Viega MegaPress fittings in a system, the deformation of the fitting is constant. This allows for a consistent leak-free joint every time and is a result of the pressing technique. Deflection occurs in the same way for every fitting. The fitting being pressed will move in the direction of the jaw or ring opening. Controlling Deflection Deflection while pressing can be minimized by utilizing the following installation practices. Alternate Sides for Presses Press one end of fitting. Make second press on other end of fitting from the opposite side. Since the fitting will deflect toward the opening of the jaw or ring, the pipe end will deflect in the opposite direction. By counteracting the fitting movement, one can minimize the deflection of the fitting and ultimately the pipe. When using strut and clamps, deflection is minimized and nearly eliminated depending on clamp spacing. Push-Pull Method Rings = Push on press tool. Jaws = Pull on press tool. The press tool can be feathered using the trigger as needed to apply pulling or pushing force to control deflection. Re-Press Press the fitting, once on each side (that is, re-press the fitting a second time on the opposite side). Pressing the same connection from the opposite side will usually straighten misalignment between the pipe and fitting. When pressing overhead piping, it may be inconvenient to alternate sides for each press. The natural weight of the piping plus pressing on opposite sides at a 45-degree angle should adequately eliminate deflection. This technique can also be used for any horizontal piping and when working above the piping. PG-MP 724453 0120 MegaPress Systems 19 Technical Information Viega MegaPress Pipe Preparation Guide Description Different kinds of pipe surface Prep necessary? Yes / No Surface after prepping Clean, bare pipe No Galvanized steel pipe Yes Pipe with black shellac or Yes lacquer Pipe with rust Yes Epoxy coating No Cataphoretic paint (KTL) No Comments If the pipe has no lacquer and there is no rust on the surface and the surface is smooth, no preparing is necessary. If the surface of the galvanized pipe is uneven, then the pipe surface must be smoothed. If the pipe is coated with black shellac or lacquer, the coating has to be smoothed. It is not necessary to completely remove the coating. If the pipe has no lacquer and there is a rust film on the surface, the surface has to be prepped until the rust film is removed and the pipe surface is smooth. The epoxy coating must be reduced to allow the pipe to be inserted into the fitting. If the pipe has been coated, the maximum external diameter must not exceed the limit in the Insertion Depth table. If the pipe is cataphoretic painted (KTL) and the surface is smooth, it is not necessary to prep the pipe. If there are scratches on the KTL, the surface has to be smoothed. 20 PG-MP 724453 0120 MegaPress Systems Technical Information Tool Clearances Minimum distances should be taken into consideration during planning in order to avoid space constraints during installation.

Good connections can be proven A by performing a pressure test. This is the same procedure for threaded systems. What steel pipe schedules can Q Viega MegaPress be installed with? Viega MegaPress may be installed A with schedule 5 - schedule 40 ASTM A53, ASTM A795, or ASTM A135 black steel pipe. National codes require the use of schedule 40 ASTM A53 black steel pipe for fuel gas and fuel oil applications. All applications must be compliant with local code requirements. Do I have to lubricate the pipe or Q the fitting? No, Viega does not require A lubrication of the pipe or the fitting. Can I install Viega MegaPress Q fittings on epoxy coated pipe? Yes, the surface of the pipe must be A smooth before installing the fittings. Surface smoothing can be accomplished by using the RIDGID Pipe Prep tool or an abrasive sanding cloth. Is Viega MegaPress approved for Q underground installation? Yes, Viega MegaPress systems may A be installed underground but must be protected per the national codes and the local authority. What is the procedure for welding Q near a Viega MegaPress fitting? When welding adjacent to a Viega A MegaPress fitting, a minimum four inches of space should be allowed to avoid overheating and damaging the sealing element. When welding a fitting in line with a Viega MegaPress fitting, a minimum distance of three feet should be maintained. The Viega MegaPress fitting should also be protected from overheating through use of a cooling agent or welding blanket. Q Can Viega MegaPress fittings be installed in a potable water Aapplication? No, Viega MegaPress is not certified for potable water usage. Q Can Viega MegaPress fittings be installed in a natural gas Aapplication? Only Viega MegaPressG with HNBR sealing elements are certified by CSA to be installed in natural gas applications. Q What is the maximum temperature that Viega MegaPressG, with HNBR Asealing elements, can be exposed to? Viega MegaPressG has been certified by CSA LC4 to withstand 1,000°F for one hour. What is Smart Connect Q technology? Smart Connect technology provides A a quick and easy way to identify unpressed connections during the pressure testing process. Unpressed connections are located by pressurizing the system with air or water. When testing with air or water, the pressure range is 15 psi to 85 psi maximum. The flow path is removed during the pressing process, creating a leak-proof, reliable connection. Guaranteed. Why is Smart Connect technology Q so valuable? Smart Connect technology A provides the user with a strong peace of mind. It allows for faster testing procedures since you do not have to shut down and drain the system. Costly damages and possible insurance claims and premiums can be avoided because it identifies unpressed connections before they can become a problem. Because of the time savings, projects stay on track.
