Apollo Powerpress 7481980 Gas Press Reducing Fitting

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7481980 is a carbon steel press reducing fitting designed for use in gas press piping systems requiring a size transition. It connects 3/4-inch male pipe on one end to a 1/2-inch press connection on the other, providing a secure, code-compliant joint without open flame or welding. The fitting measures 2.52 inches in length, 1.26 inches in width, and 1.26 inches in height, and weighs 0.27 pounds. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications where press-fit technology is specified for carbon steel gas lines.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping systems that use press-fit carbon steel components. The male-by-press end configuration allows it to thread into a standard threaded fitting on one side while pressing onto compatible press-system tubing on the other. It is a practical solution when reducing pipe diameter is required within a press system, eliminating the need for additional adapters in many common configurations.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction for durability under high-pressure gas service conditions
• 3/4-inch male inlet by 1/2-inch press outlet for in-line size reduction
• Press-fit connection eliminates open flame, reducing installation time and fire risk
• Compact footprint: 2.52 inches long by 1.26 inches wide by 1.26 inches high
• Consistent mechanical alignment supports leak-free, long-service joints

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for carbon steel press gas piping systems using male-by-press reducing fittings in 3/4-inch by 1/2-inch configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local gas codes and the applicable edition of the International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off and verify zero gas pressure at the line before beginning any fitting work. Use only a press tool and jaw set rated and approved for the press-fit system being installed. Inspect the press connection after completion to confirm full, even seating before restoring gas pressure.
