Apollo Powerpress 7481661 Carbon Steel Press Tee 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481661 is a 3/4-inch carbon steel press tee designed for branching pressurized pipe systems using a mechanically pressed connection method. Configured as Press x Press x Press across all three ports, this fitting eliminates the need for open flame or threading during installation, making it a preferred choice for gas piping where torch-free methods are required. Fabricated from gas-rated carbon steel, it is built for the demands of commercial and industrial piping environments where joint integrity and leak resistance are non-negotiable. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas, water, and hydronic systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

This tee is suited for residential and commercial applications involving gas distribution piping, hydronic heating systems, and pressurized water lines. The press-style end connections on all three ports allow for fast, consistent joining without soldering or threaded connections, reducing labor time on complex branching runs. It is particularly well-suited for retrofit and new-construction work where torch-free installation is preferred or code-required.

Key Features

• Gas-rated carbon steel construction for pressurized gas and fluid piping systems
• Press x Press x Press end style on all three ports for torch-free installation
• 3/4-inch nominal size on all sides (Side A, Side B, and Side C)
• Compact profile fitting standard press tooling used in commercial and industrial piping work
• Engineered for leak-resistant, mechanically pressed joints in critical piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting compatible with standard 3/4-inch press-fit piping systems used in gas, hydronic, and water distribution applications where carbon steel press fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes and standards such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the gas or fluid supply completely before cutting into any existing line or installing this fitting. Use only manufacturer-approved press tooling and jaw sets rated for carbon steel press fittings to ensure a complete, leak-free crimp. Inspect the pressed joint visually and pressure-test the system according to local code requirements before returning the line to service.
