Apollo Powerpress 7482057 Gas Press Reducing Coupling 2x1

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7482057 is a carbon steel press reducing coupling designed for fuel gas piping systems that require a transition from a 2-inch pipe to a 1-inch pipe. It uses a press-connect end style — Male x Press — to create a secure, flame-free mechanical joint without soldering or welding. This fitting is built for natural gas and propane distribution networks in residential and commercial applications. Licensed gas fitters and plumbers install this type of fitting where rapid, leak-resistant connections are required and open-flame tools are prohibited or impractical.

This coupling is suited for new construction and retrofit gas piping work where a size reduction is needed between press-connect carbon steel pipe runs. The 2-inch male inlet transitions to a 1-inch press outlet, making it a straightforward choice for branch drops, meter sets, and distribution manifold connections in natural gas or propane systems.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction for durability in gas piping service
• Flame-free press-connect installation eliminates open-flame hazards
• Male x Press end style for direct integration into press-fit gas piping systems
• 2-inch to 1-inch reducing geometry supports pipe size transitions in a single fitting
• Compact profile at 4.69 inches length by 2.38 inches width by 2.38 inches height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for carbon steel press-connect gas piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 1-inch reducing coupling with a Male x Press end configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and verify zero gas pressure at the line before working on any fitting. Press-connect tools approved for carbon steel gas fittings must be used — standard copper press jaws are not interchangeable. Inspect the pipe end for squareness and deburring before pressing to ensure a leak-free joint.
