Apollo Powerpress 7481540 45 Deg Gas Press Elbow 3/4 in

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481540 is a 3/4 inch carbon steel 45-degree press elbow designed for directional changes in gas distribution piping systems. It uses a press-connection end style on both sides, eliminating open-flame joining and reducing installation time in the field. The fitting is built from carbon steel for high mechanical strength and reliable pressure retention at the joint. It measures 3.56 inches in length, 2.52 inches in width, and 1.5 inches in height, making it suitable for tight routing in residential and light commercial gas piping installations. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this fitting as part of approved press-fit piping systems.

This elbow is intended for gas distribution systems where a 45-degree angular change in pipe direction is required. The press x press end configuration makes it compatible with press-fit tool systems used in residential and commercial gas piping. It is suited for applications where minimal leak potential and high mechanical integrity are critical requirements. The 3/4 inch size fits standard gas supply lines commonly routed to appliances such as furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and commercial cooking equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the line before beginning any fitting work. Press connections require a compatible press tool and the correct jaw profile for the fitting size — confirm tool and jaw compatibility before installation. Inspect the fitting and sealing element for damage before pressing, and perform a pressure test after installation per local code requirements.
