Viega MegaPress 45 Elbow 1-1/4 Inch Press Connection
The Viega MegaPress 45 elbow joins two sections of 1-1/4 inch carbon steel pipe using a press connection on each end. It changes the flow direction by 45 degrees in hydronic heating, compressed air or fire protection systems. Installers use a compatible press tool to complete the joint without welding or threading.
Thermal Range and Pressure Rating
The fitting operates from 0 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and handles a maximum pressure of 200 psi. Carbon steel construction resists deformation under normal system temperatures and pressures. No electrical power or active cooling is involved, so noise and power draw are not applicable.
Press-to-Connect Design Eliminates Consumables
The press connection removes the need for solder, flux, thread sealant or welding rod during installation. A single press cycle creates a permanent, leak-resistant seal on both ends. No additional software, calibration or accessories are required beyond the standard press tool and jaw set.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 25245 MegaPress elbow and what step is often missed?
Use a compatible press tool with the correct jaw size for 1-1/4" carbon steel; the step often missed is verifying the press indicator ring shows a complete connection before pressurising.
What maintenance or replacement will the 25245 MegaPress elbow need later?
The carbon steel fitting is designed for permanent installation; inspect periodically for corrosion or leaks, and replace the entire elbow if the seal fails or the pipe is modified.
What limit appears first on the 25245 MegaPress elbow under sustained use?
The maximum pressure rating of 200 psi is the primary limit; sustained operation above this pressure or beyond the 250 °F temperature range will cause failure first.
