Apollo Powerpress 7482497 Carbon Steel Gas Press Cap 1 in

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7482497 is a 1-inch carbon steel press cap designed to terminate gas line connections with a secure, leak-resistant seal. This fitting uses a press-style connection method, eliminating the need for threading or soldering on the termination point. It is built for use in natural gas and liquid propane distribution systems in residential and light commercial applications. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this cap as part of a press-fit piping system, using a compatible press tool to create a permanent, pressure-rated termination.

This cap fits into press-fit gas piping systems where a clean, tool-pressed termination is required at the end of a run. It suits residential gas distribution lines, commercial gas rough-in work, and retrofit installations where press fitting is specified over traditional threaded or welded connections. The 1-inch size accommodates common main-line and branch-line gas piping configurations.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction for strength and durability in gas service applications
• Press-style connection for a fast, flame-free installation without threading
• 1-inch nominal pipe size fits standard gas line branch and main runs
• Cap design provides a permanent, sealed termination on open pipe ends
• Compact profile at approximately 1.69 inches in length and 1.79 inches in diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press cap for use with 1-inch carbon steel press-fit gas piping systems where a PowerPress-compatible press tool is required for proper installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local gas codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off and depressurize the gas line completely before installing any press fitting. Use only a compatible press tool and jaw set rated for this fitting size and material — hand-tightening will not create a code-compliant seal. Inspect the press connection with an approved leak detection solution after restoring gas pressure.
