Apollo Powerpress 7481485 90 Deg Gas Press Street Elbow

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481485 is a 3/4 inch carbon steel 90-degree press street elbow designed for natural gas and fuel gas distribution piping. It uses a press x spigot (fitting x press) end configuration, allowing a directional change without requiring additional transition fittings. The press-connect design eliminates open-flame joining methods, speeding up installation while maintaining code-compliant sealing performance under typical gas working pressures. This fitting is manufactured by Aalberts Integrated Piping Systems and is intended for installation by licensed plumbers and gas fitters working on residential or light commercial gas distribution systems.

This elbow is suited for applications requiring a 90-degree offset in natural gas or fuel gas supply lines where space constraints or layout demands make a street elbow configuration practical. The press x spigot design allows one end to connect directly into a press fitting socket while the spigot end inserts into a mating press fitting, streamlining transitions and reducing the number of components in the assembly.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for directional change in gas piping runs
• Press x spigot (fitting x press) end style eliminates the need for additional couplings at the transition
• Carbon steel construction suited for gas distribution service
• 3/4 inch on both Side A and Side B for consistent pipe sizing throughout the connection
• Press-connect design removes open-flame joining from the installation process

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-connect replacement fitting for 3/4 inch carbon steel gas piping systems using press-style joining technology. Specific system or tool compatibility was not provided in the product data; verify press jaw compatibility with the APOLLO POWERPRESS tool set before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local gas codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off and verify gas supply is fully depressurized before cutting into any existing line. Press connections require a calibrated press tool with the correct jaw profile for this fitting series — do not substitute incompatible press jaws, as an incomplete press creates a leak path. After pressing, perform a leak test at the required test pressure before restoring service.
