The MegaPress Press-in Branch Connector is designed for SCH 10 and SCH 40/STD carbon steel pipes. The press-in branch connector creates a 3/4 in NPT threaded connection in accordance with ASME B1.20.1. It is particularly suitable where space is at a premium, e.g. in pipe manifold installation for sensors, thermometers or drains. A separate press-in branch connector is available for the different pipe dimensions. The press-in branch connector is fitted with a sealing element made of EPDM or FKM. The press-in branch connectors are marked with a green dot for EPDM and a white dot for FKM. The Viega MegaPress Press-in Branch Connector requires no welding and poses no fire hazard, which is particularly important in restoration or retrofit work. The press fittings are installed with a battery-powered or corded pressing tool. Engineered with a 420 stainless steel grip ring plus a 304 stainless steel separator ring for sizes 1/2 in to 2 in and a PBT separator ring for sizes 2-1/2 in to 4 in fittings Approved for more applications than any other carbon steel pipe press fitting system Suitable for use with ASTM SCH 5 to SCH 40/STD carbon steel pipe (can be used on higher schedule pipe, but limited to maximum pressure listed) Corrosion-resistant zinc nickel coating Over 180 engineered fitting configurations from 1/2 in to 4 in Approved for underground applications, in accordance with code and local AHJ The same hanger and support requirements as threaded systems Viega Smart Connect technology provides installers added confidence in their ability to ensure secure connections Not approved for use with SCH 10, 1/2 in to 1 in pipe where UMC codes apply
