Apollo Powerpress 7481771 Press Reducing Tee 1-1/2x1-1/2x1 in

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481771 is a carbon steel press-connect reducing tee designed for gas distribution and hydronic piping systems. This fitting uses a press-style end connection on all three ports, eliminating the need for threading, soldering, or welding during installation. The run measures 1-1/2 inches by 1-1/2 inches with a 1-inch branch outlet. Fabricated from gas-rated carbon steel, it delivers consistent pressure integrity in both residential and commercial applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using a compatible press tool, making it well suited for fast-paced service and new construction environments.

This reducing tee is used in commercial and residential gas distribution lines and hydronic heating systems where a branch takeoff with a reduced outlet is required. The press-style connection on all three ends speeds up installation and reduces the risk of joint failure associated with improper threading or welding. It is appropriate for piping runs where a 1-1/2-inch main line requires a 1-inch branch connection.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a press tool rated and listed for gas carbon steel press fittings. Shut off the gas supply and relieve system pressure completely before cutting into any existing line. Verify that the press jaws and rings are compatible with the fitting size and material before crimping. All work on gas distribution systems must comply with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC).
