Apollo Powerpress 7481531 45 Degree Press Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481531 is a 1/2 inch carbon steel 45-degree press elbow designed for press-connect piping systems used in fuel gas and mechanical applications. This fitting installs without open flame or threading, using a compatible press tool to create a permanent, leak-tested connection. The 45-degree angle allows controlled directional changes in tight or offset pipe runs, reducing flow turbulence and mechanical stress compared to a 90-degree turn. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in new construction and retrofit projects where speed and code-compliant connections are required.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems including fuel gas distribution, hydronic heating, and other closed-loop mechanical systems. The press x press end style accepts 1/2 inch carbon steel pipe on both sides, making it a straightforward drop-in solution for directional offsets in straight pipe runs. It is manufactured by Aalberts Integrated Piping Systems under the Apollo PowerPress product line.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a compatible press tool rated for carbon steel gas fittings. Shut off and verify gas or system pressure is fully depressurized before beginning work, and follow all applicable local mechanical and fuel gas codes including IFGC requirements. Inspect the pipe end for burrs or damage before inserting into the fitting, and confirm the press sleeve is fully seated before actuating the tool. Do not use this fitting in open-flame or threaded-connection applications.
