Apollo Powerpress 7481331 Gas Press Coupling 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481331 is a 1-1/2 inch carbon steel press coupling with an integrated stop, designed for fuel gas distribution systems in above-ground piping applications. Manufactured from ASTM A420 carbon steel and compliant with ASTM F3226, this fitting uses a press-to-connect design that eliminates the need for welding, threading, or soldering. The EPDM sealing element and patented press geometry create a leak-resistant mechanical connection. The integrated stop ensures correct pipe insertion depth before pressing, reducing installation error. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial and industrial gas systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

This coupling is rated for joining Schedule 10 through Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe in fuel gas distribution systems. It conforms to ASME B31 piping codes and carries ANSI LC 4/CSA 6.32 certification for above-ground gas piping. The press x press end configuration on both sides accepts standard M-profile pressing jaws, making it compatible with common pressing tools used across commercial and industrial jobsites. It is suited for new construction and retrofit gas piping work where open-flame joining methods are restricted or impractical.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Schedule 10 through Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe in above-ground fuel gas distribution systems conforming to ASME B31 and ANSI LC 4/CSA 6.32 requirements. Compatible with standard M-profile pressing tools and jaws.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the gas supply before beginning work, and verify the system is purged per local utility and code requirements before pressing. Use only M-profile pressing jaws rated for this fitting size and confirm full pipe insertion to the integrated stop before actuating the press tool. Inspect all pressed connections for proper seating before returning the system to service.
