Apollo Powerpress 7481562 45 Degree Gas Press Elbow

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481562 is a 45-degree press elbow designed for natural gas and fuel gas distribution piping in both residential and commercial applications. Fabricated from ASTM A105 carbon steel, this fitting delivers a flame-free, mechanically pressed connection using the Apollo PowerPress system. Pre-installed EPDM sealing elements ensure a consistent, code-compliant seal without the need for open-flame tools. The Press x Press end style on both the 1-1/4 inch Side A and 1-1/4 inch Side B allows for fast, repeatable installation in rigid gas piping systems. At 1.04 pounds, the fitting is straightforward to handle and position during installation.

This elbow is suited for directional changes in rigid gas supply lines where a 45-degree angle is required to navigate around structural elements or confined mechanical spaces. It fits within the Apollo PowerPress product family and is appropriate for licensed gas fitters and plumbing contractors working on natural gas or fuel gas distribution systems in both new construction and retrofit projects. The 45-degree geometry supports efficient routing while maintaining flow characteristics and pressure integrity required by applicable codes.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in confined or tight routing scenarios
• ASTM A105 carbon steel construction for durability in gas distribution service
• Press x Press end connections on both ends — no open flame required during installation
• Pre-installed EPDM sealing elements provide consistent, reliable seals on each pressed joint
• Compatible with the Apollo PowerPress pressing system for repeatable, inspectable connections
• 1-1/4 inch nominal size on both ends for straight-through directional transitions

Compatibility

Designed for use within the Apollo PowerPress system for 1-1/4 inch rigid gas piping installations. Press connections require a compatible Apollo PowerPress pressing tool and jaw set rated for this fitting size and series.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and all applicable local codes. Shut off and verify gas supply is fully de-pressurized before cutting into any existing line. Press connections require the correct jaw profile for this fitting series — confirm tool and jaw compatibility before pressing. Inspect each joint visually and perform a pressure test per code requirements after all connections are made.
