Apollo Powerpress 7482519 Gas Press Cap 1-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The APOLLO POWERPRESS 7482519 is a 1-1/2 inch carbon steel press cap designed to terminate unused or dead-end connections in press-connect gas distribution piping systems. Constructed from zinc-plated carbon steel and factory-fitted with a yellow HNBR sealing element, this cap provides a secure, permanent closure on natural gas and fuel gas lines. The press-connect design eliminates open-flame joining, making installation faster and cleaner than traditional threaded or soldered terminations. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this fitting using a compatible press tool and approved jaw profile matched to the 1-1/2 inch press geometry.

This press cap is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping applications where an unused branch, stub-out, or service point must be permanently closed. It is used in natural gas and fuel gas distribution systems employing press-connect technology. The yellow HNBR sealing element is the industry-standard color indicator for gas-rated press fittings, helping inspectors and technicians quickly identify the fitting as gas-service approved during rough-in and inspection stages.

Key Features

• Zinc-plated carbon steel construction for corrosion resistance in gas piping environments
• Factory-installed yellow HNBR sealing element rated for natural gas and fuel gas service
• Press-connect design requires no open flame, threading, or soldering at the termination point
• 1-1/2 inch size covers common branch and main-line stub-out diameters in residential and commercial gas systems
• Permanent, leak-tested closure suitable for inspected gas installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with press tools and jaws conforming to approved press profiles for 1-1/2 inch carbon steel gas press fittings. Intended for press-connect gas distribution systems compatible with the APOLLO POWERPRESS fitting family.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable fuel gas codes, including the IFGC and local amendments. Shut off and lock out the gas supply at the meter or service valve before working on any open piping end. Use only a compatible press tool and the correct jaw profile for the 1-1/2 inch press geometry — improper tooling will result in an incomplete press and a failed seal. Verify all pressed connections with a leak-check procedure per local code before restoring gas service.
