Apollo Powerpress 7481683 Gas Press Tee 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481683 is a 1-1/4 inch carbon steel press tee fitting engineered for fuel gas distribution systems. This three-outlet press-connect fitting joins three sections of carbon steel pipe without open flame, using compatible press tools and jaws to form secure, mechanical connections. Manufactured from ASTM A420 gas-grade carbon steel, it delivers the structural integrity required in commercial and residential gas piping installations. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters rely on press technology to reduce installation time and eliminate torch-related hazards on the job site.

This tee is intended for use in fuel gas distribution piping where press-connect fittings are approved by the authority having jurisdiction. The 1-1/4 inch press x press x press configuration suits main-run branch takeoffs in both residential and light commercial gas systems. All three ports accept 1-1/4 inch press-style pipe ends, making it well suited for natural gas and similar fuel gas service lines where flame-free joining is preferred or required.

Key Features

• Flame-free press-connect installation eliminates the need for torch equipment at the fitting
• Gas-grade carbon steel construction meets ASTM A420 material standards
• Equal tee configuration: 1-1/4 inch on all three ports (Press x Press x Press)
• Compatible with standard press tools and gas-rated press jaws for 1-1/4 inch connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-connect replacement fitting for 1-1/4 inch carbon steel gas piping systems where press-connect tees are specified. Use only with press tools and jaw sets rated for gas carbon steel fittings at this pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and verify gas supply is fully depressurized before making or breaking any connection in the line. Confirm the press tool and jaw set are rated for gas-grade carbon steel fittings at 1-1/4 inch before pressing. Inspect each pressed joint visually and with approved leak-detection methods before returning the system to service.
