Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481551 is a 45-degree press elbow manufactured from zinc-plated carbon steel to ASTM A420 standards, designed for directional changes in fuel gas distribution piping. It connects via press-to-connect ends on both sides, eliminating open flame during installation. An integrated yellow HNBR sealing element is factory-installed and rated for natural gas and propane service. Both ends accept 1-inch press connections. This fitting is intended for licensed plumbers and gas piping professionals working on above-ground, non-potable fuel gas systems in residential and commercial applications.

This elbow is suited for above-ground fuel gas distribution systems where flame-free, press-style connections are required. It supports both new construction and retrofit installations. The 45-degree angle allows for controlled directional changes in gas supply lines running natural gas or propane. Installation requires a pressing tool approved for carbon steel press fittings. It is not rated for potable water, underground burial, or concealed applications outside of applicable code allowances.
