Apollo Powerpress 7481375 1 in Carbon Steel Press Coupling

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481375 is a 1-inch carbon steel press coupling with an internal pipe stop, designed for joining carbon steel pipe in fuel gas and low-pressure steam systems. It uses a mechanical press connection, eliminating the need for open flame welding or threaded joints. The press x press end configuration accepts pipe on both sides and includes a factory-installed sealing element rated for gas service. The built-in pipe stop controls insertion depth for consistent, repeatable connections. This fitting is manufactured in accordance with industry specifications and is suited for non-potable piping applications where a permanent, code-compliant mechanical joint is required.

This coupling is used in residential and commercial gas piping installations where flame-free joining methods are preferred or required. It is appropriate for fuel gas distribution systems and low-pressure steam lines using carbon steel pipe. The press x press end style requires a press tool approved for carbon steel fittings. Installation professionals working on gas service piping, boiler rooms, and mechanical rooms will find this fitting suitable for both new construction and retrofit applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or gas fitters using a press tool approved for carbon steel press fittings. Shut off and depressurize the gas or steam line completely before cutting into any existing piping. Verify pipe end preparation meets the fitting manufacturer's requirements for cleanliness and squareness before pressing. All gas piping work must comply with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements, and the authority having jurisdiction.
