Viega MegaPress 316 1-Inch FKM 90-Degree Street Elbow

The Viega MegaPress 316 1-Inch FKM 90-Degree Street Elbow is the smaller-diameter right-angle fitting in this duplicate pair. Its street end is sized like pipe, so it can enter another compatible fitting directly instead of requiring a short pipe nipple between fittings. That layout is useful when a stainless run must turn sharply in limited space.

MegaPress installation uses the proper press tool and jaws rather than threading, welding or brazing. The installer cuts the pipe square, deburrs it, marks insertion depth and completes the press connection without an open flame. For engine-room, bilge and other marine work areas, avoiding hot work can simplify the installation process.

Inside the press connection, a grip ring holds the pipe, a separator ring protects the seal and an FKM element forms the joint. The fitting is compatible with Schedule 5 through Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe, and the 316 stainless body offers improved resistance to pitting in salt environments compared with 304.
