Apollo Powerpress 7482046 Press Reducing Coupling 1.5x1.25in

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7482046 is a carbon steel press reducing coupling designed for gas piping systems that require a size transition without sacrificing connection integrity. Engineered with a Male x Press end style, this fitting accepts a 1-1/2 inch male connection on Side A and a 1-1/4 inch press connection on Side B. The press technology eliminates the need for threading, soldering, or welding at the joint, delivering a permanent mechanical connection suitable for high-pressure piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential or light commercial gas lines will find this fitting well-suited to fast, code-compliant installations.

This reducing fitting is intended for use in gas piping systems where pipe diameter must step down from 1-1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch. Press fittings of this type are commonly installed in natural gas and other non-flammable piping configurations where a reliable, leak-resistant mechanical joint is required. The carbon steel construction provides the strength and durability demanded by gas service environments in both new construction and retrofit applications.

Key Features

• Press technology creates a permanent mechanical connection without soldering, threading, or welding
• Carbon steel construction rated for high-pressure piping environments
• Male x Press end style for compatibility with standard press tooling and male-threaded pipe ends
• Reduces from 1-1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch in a single fitting
• Compact profile: 3.82 inches in length, 2.2 inches wide, 2.2 inches tall
• Lightweight at 0.82 pounds for easy handling during overhead or confined-space installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press reducing fitting for carbon steel gas piping systems with 1-1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch size transitions using Male x Press end configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off the gas supply and verify the line is fully depressurized before beginning work. A calibrated press tool approved for carbon steel press fittings is required to achieve a proper crimp and permanent seal. Inspect the pressed joint visually and leak-test per local code before restoring gas service.
