45° Carbon Steel Press Elbow

The Viega MegaPress 4826 is a 45 degree elbow made from carbon steel for press-to-press connections. It joins two 1 in pipes in plumbing or hydronic systems. The fitting handles a maximum pressure of 200 psi and operates from 0 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. It arrives in new condition ready for installation.

Suits press-system installers.

This fitting suits installers using press tools on carbon steel pipe who need a 45 degree change of direction at 1 in size. It is not for systems that require threaded, soldered, welded or grooved connections. Buyers needing a different angle, a different pipe diameter or a material such as stainless steel or copper should look at other fittings.

Press-tool installation.

Installation is completed with a compatible press tool and the correct jaw for 1 in carbon steel MegaPress fittings. What usually goes wrong is using an incorrect jaw size, pressing with a tool not approved for this fitting series, or failing to insert the pipe fully before pressing. Always confirm tool approval and jaw match before starting the joint.

Questions about this item

What press tool and jaw set are required to install the MegaPress 4826 1 in elbow?

A Viega MegaPress-compatible press tool with the correct 1 in jaw set is needed to form the press connections on each end of the 45° carbon steel fitting.

Can the 4826 elbow join directly to existing 1 in threaded steel pipe?

No, the fitting uses press ends on both sides; a separate press-to-thread adapter or transition coupling is required to connect to threaded pipe.

How do I verify the joint is sound after pressing the 4826 elbow?

Inspect the press indicator ring on each connection for full closure, then pressure-test the system up to 200 psi at temperatures up to 250 °F to confirm leak-free performance.
