It creates a 3\/4 in FNPT threaded branch connection directly on a 2 in main pipe run without welding, cutting, or open flame. The connection is made using a standard battery-powered or corded pressing tool, which makes it well suited for occupied buildings and retrofit environments where hot work permits are difficult to obtain. The fitting ships zinc nickel coated for corrosion resistance and is rated to 200 psi and 284 degrees F. It is fitted with a sealing element of either EPDM or FKM; fittings marked with a green dot carry EPDM seals and those marked with a white dot carry FKM seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis branch connector is intended for use in residential and commercial hydronic, mechanical, and process piping installations where a threaded branch tap is needed on an existing or new SCH 10 carbon steel main. Typical applications include pipe manifolds for sensors, thermometers, gauge ports, and drains. Its compact footprint makes it particularly useful in tight mechanical rooms and congested pipe racks where a standard tee or weld-o-let would not fit. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary trade for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo-weld, no-flame press connection eliminates hot work permits in retrofit and restoration projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 200 psi and 284 degrees F for demanding hydronic and mechanical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSCH 10 compatible press end with 3\/4 in FNPT branch outlet conforming to ASME B1.20.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc nickel coating provides corrosion resistance on carbon steel body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColor-coded sealing element: green dot for EPDM, white dot for FKM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstalls with standard battery-powered or corded MegaPress pressing tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with SCH 10 and SCH 40\/STD carbon steel pipe in the 2 in nominal pipe size.

De-pressurize and drain the line before pressing the fitting onto the pipe. Use only a compatible MegaPress pressing tool and jaw set sized for the pipe diameter; do not substitute press jaws from other fitting systems. Verify local plumbing and mechanical codes for acceptance of press-fit fittings before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4812.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press-In Branch Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 x 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCH 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 284 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc Nickel Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Options\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM (green dot) or FKM (white dot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VIEGA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26805\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VIEGA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233805467954,"sku":"26805","price":158.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307630095.jpg?v=1780109489","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/viega-26805-press-in-branch-connector-2-x-3-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
