Apollo Powerpress 7481859 Carbon Steel Gas Press Tee

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481859 is a 3/4-inch carbon steel press-fit tee designed for fuel gas and compressed air distribution systems. This fitting uses a mechanical press-fit connection method, eliminating the need for threading, welding, or open flame during installation. The tee features three 3/4-inch press ends configured as Press x Press x Fitting, allowing a branch takeoff from a main run line. At 0.66 pounds and measuring 4.49 inches in width, it is a compact, durable fitting suited for both residential and light commercial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using a press tool calibrated to the appropriate jaws for carbon steel gas fittings.

This tee is used in fuel gas distribution and compressed air piping systems where a branch connection is required. The press-fit design is appropriate for commercial and residential installations where code-compliant, flame-free joining methods are required or preferred. The 3/4-inch equal-size configuration suits main trunk lines feeding multiple branch circuits in gas distribution layouts. The gas-rated carbon steel construction meets the demands of systems handling natural gas and propane in typical building piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the gas line completely before making any connections. A press tool with jaws appropriate for carbon steel gas fittings and the correct jaw size for 3/4-inch press connections is required to achieve a proper seal. Inspect each pressed joint for full and even engagement before restoring system pressure.
