DANGER!
Read and understand all instructions for installing Vega Mega Press Stainless fittings. Failure to follow all instructions may result in extensive property damage, serious injury, or death

1. Cut pipe square using displacement-type cutter or fine-toothed saw.
   

2. Keep end of pipe a minimum of 4″ away from the contact area of the vise to prevent possible damage to the pipe in the press area.
   

3. Remove burr from inside and outside of the pipe and prep to proper insertion depth using a preparation tool or fine-grit sandpaper.
   

4. Check seal and grip ring for correct fit. Do not use oils or lubricants.
   

5. Mark proper insertion depth as indicated by the Vega Mega Press Insertion Depth Chart. Improper insertion depth may result in improper seal. It is recommended that the depth marking be visible on the completed assembly.
   

6. Refer to the chart below for minimum distance between fittings. To ensure a correct press, a minimum distance between press fittings must be maintained. Failure to provide this distance may result in an improper seal.
   Pipe Diameter (in)| d (in)| d (mm)
   ---|---|---
   ½| ¼| 6
   ¾| ¼| 6
   1| ¼| 6
   1¼| ½| 13
   1½| ½| 13
   2| ½| 13

Pressing 1/2″ to 1″ Fittings
8a Viega Megaspores Stainless ½” to 1″ fitting connections must be performed with Mega Press jaws.

8b Open the Mega Press jaw and place at right angles on the fitting. Visually check insertion depth using mark on pipe.

8c Start pressing process and hold the trigger until the jaw has engaged the fitting. Jaws will automatically release after a full press is made. Remove the Mega Press jaw from the fitting

Pressing 11/2″ to 2″ Fittings
9a Viega Mega Press Stainless 1¼” to 2″ fitting connections must be performed with Mega Press rings and V2 actuator.

9b Open the Mega Press ring and place at right angles on the fitting. The Mega Press ring must be engaged on the fitting bead. Check insertion depth.

9c Place V2 actuator onto the Mega Press ring and start pressing process. Hold the trigger until the actuator has engaged the Mega Press ring.

9d Once the press is complete, release the V2 actuator from the Mega Press ring and then remove the Mega Press ring from the fitting.

Pressing 21/2″ to 4″ Fittings
10a Viega Mega Press Stainless 2½” to 4″ fitting connections must be made using Mega Press XL rings and either the Mega Press XL Press Booster or the Mega Press Z3 actuator.

Pressing with Mega Press XL Press Booster
11a Remove the retaining bolt of the press machine. Slide the Press Booster in via the press jaw fixture. Slide the retaining bolt of the press machine in as far as it will go.

11b To open the Press Booster jaw, pull back the handle at the hinged adapter jaw. Place Press Booster onto the Mega Press XL ring by inserting the ball heads of the hinged adapter jaw into the contact points of the XL ring. Push the handle forward to close the hinged adapter jaw.

11c Hold the trigger until the Press Booster has engaged the Mega Press XL ring. The Press Booster requires two presses of the trigger to execute a complete press. A third press may be needed to initiate a release cycle to reset the rollers back to the original position. Once the press is complete, release the Press Booster from the Mega Press XL ring and then remove the Mega Press XL ring from the fitting.

Pressing with Mega Press Z3 Actuator
12a On the press tool, rotate the retaining pin handle 180 degrees and pull it out to open the slot for the actuator. Insert the Viega Z3 actuator into the slot on the press tool. On the press tool, push the retaining pin back in and rotate it 180 degrees.

12b Open the Viega Z3 actuator by pulling the handle back. Place the open Viega Z3 actuator onto the Mega Press XL ring by inserting the ball heads of the actuator into the contact points of the XL ring. Close the Z3 actuator.

12c Start the pressing process by holding the press tool trigger until the actuator has engaged the XL ring. When the press cycle is complete, the actuator will stop and release. Once the Z3 actuator releases, remove it from the Mega Press XL ring and then remove the Mega Press XL ring from the fitting.
