Apollo Powerpress 7481408 Gas Press Coupling 2 Inch

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481408 is a 2-inch carbon steel press coupling with an integrated stop, designed for fuel gas distribution piping systems. It connects using a press-by-press end configuration on both sides, requiring a compatible press tool to complete the joint. The integrated stop ensures consistent pipe insertion depth, reducing alignment error and improving joint reliability during the press cycle. Built from carbon steel for mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, this coupling is suited for demanding gas service applications where code-compliant, gas-tight connections are required. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This coupling is used in residential and commercial fuel gas distribution systems where press-fit piping is specified. The press-by-press end style on both sides means no soldering, threading, or open flame is required at the joint. The 401G series design is intended for use with compatible press tools and jaw sets rated for gas fittings. Its carbon steel construction and stop feature make it a reliable choice for new construction and retrofit gas piping installations where precision and code compliance are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the IFGC. Shut off and verify the absence of gas pressure in the line before beginning work. Confirm that the press tool and jaw set used are rated and approved for carbon steel gas press fittings of this size. Inspect the pipe end for burrs or debris and verify full insertion to the stop before completing the press cycle.
