Apollo Powerpress 7482013 Press Reducing Fitting 1-1/4x1 in

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7482013 is a carbon steel press reducing fitting designed to transition between 1-1/4 inch and 1 inch nominal pipe sizes in gas distribution systems. Manufactured from ASTM A420 carbon steel with EPDM sealing elements rated for gas service, this fitting uses press-connect technology to create a secure mechanical joint without threading, soldering, or welding. Grip rings and sealing elements at both press ends lock onto the pipe mechanically, making this a flame-free solution suitable for fuel gas and low-pressure natural gas piping. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this fitting in commercial and residential gas distribution work.

This fitting is used in fuel gas and low-pressure natural gas piping systems where a reduction from 1-1/4 inch to 1 inch pipe is required. The press-connect end style is compatible with carbon steel piping systems and eliminates the need for open flame during installation. Typical applications include branch line reductions, meter set connections, and interior gas distribution runs where press tooling is already on site.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local fuel gas codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and purge the gas supply completely before cutting into any existing gas line. Use the correct press tool and jaw set specified for this fitting size and material. Verify the press joint is fully seated and that the sealing element is properly positioned before pressing.
