Works great for applications in tight spaces where threading or welding isn't an easy option.... have used a few times (in industrial environment)-- has saved my company lots of money.

No it doesnt

[@mr.yeetmiser7839]

I wish the tool wasn't so expensive. These are really nice.

[@dumdiversaspapalbull1452]

I’ve googled steam application. The site I saw said it wasn’t approved for superheated applications. Can it be used for steam or not, seeing as how you should know best?

[@disbeafakename167]

The appropriate comment belongs here.

Can I use the same tool to do copper fittings? Or is a totally different tool ?

[@tannerpalacios9466]

What tool do you have? The compact press’s (Milwaukee and ridgid) can do up to 3/4 in Mega press and the regular full size press’s can do up to 2 inch mega press without the booster. You will need different jaws for your press tool though, copper and mega press jaws are not the same

[@ViegaLLC]

Tanner gave a very good answer below! Depending on what size fittings you are pressing, will determine which tool you can use - a standard or compact. You will need different sets of jaws to press ProPress and MegaPress.

Is this for natural gas and LP piping?

[@ViegaLLC]

Hi Adam, our MegaPressG fittings can be used for gas applications. Check out our approved applications list for more information www.viega.us/en/products/applications.html

What do they mean by pipe cut at a right angle

[@Hyundairobitdog]

They meant don't cut it at the wrong angle

[@punchogunter2362]

Can those fitting be used on a 1/2 inch black pipe hot water line?

R.I.P $400 in couplings.

[@illestk24civic]

Hard pass, mega press is junk

[@Hyundairobitdog]

Why ? I ain't tried it yet

[@dumdiversaspapalbull1452]

@@Hyundairobitdog I’ve used it on 1 1/2” in the ground, at some apartments. My helper and I spent more time being fearful of it actually working than fixing the pinhole. It was a snap.

Сколько стоит комплект пресса?

[@dumdiversaspapalbull1452]

Rigid 1/2”-2” mega jaw kit can be had for as little as $3000.00 here in U.S. and maybe a little less (retail). I just got 3 quotes on the kit today.
