Apollo Powerpress 7481320 Gas Press Coupling 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481320 is a 1-1/4 inch carbon steel press coupling with stop, designed for use in fuel gas piping systems. This fitting uses a press-style connection on both ends, eliminating the need for open flame or threading during installation. It is suited for black steel gas piping applications and is built to support systems compliant with ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Plumbers and gas fitters working on residential or light commercial gas distribution lines will find this coupling a reliable, code-appropriate mechanical joining solution. The integral stop feature ensures consistent insertion depth during assembly.

This coupling is used in natural gas and propane fuel distribution piping where press-fit technology is specified or preferred over threaded or welded connections. It fits 1-1/4 inch pipe on both sides using a press x press end style, making it suitable for straight-run connections in underground or above-ground black steel gas piping systems. The press fitting method reduces labor time and eliminates torch-related fire risk on job sites, which is a key consideration in occupied structures or renovation work.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure in the line before beginning work. A manufacturer-approved press tool with the correct jaw set for this fitting size and series is required to complete the connection. Do not use this fitting with press tools or jaw profiles not rated for gas service press fittings.
