Bmi 46074 1/2 Inch Press-fit No-stop Gas Coupling

Product Description

The BMI 46074 is a 1/2-inch press-fit no-stop coupling designed for carbon steel gas piping systems. Press-fit couplings allow technicians to make secure, leak-tested connections without threading, soldering, or open flame, making them suitable for both new installations and repair work on gas lines. The no-stop design means the pipe can pass fully through the fitting, which simplifies repair splices and in-line connections where a standard coupling with an internal stop would otherwise limit insertion depth. This fitting is intended for use in natural gas and compatible fuel gas distribution piping.

The BMI 46074 is used in residential and light commercial gas piping applications where press-fit technology is approved by local code. Typical install scenarios include gas line repairs, extensions, and new rough-in work in systems using carbon steel press-fit piping. This fitting is sized at 1/2 inch and connects into press-fit gas piping systems using a compatible press tool and the appropriate jaw set for this fitting series.

Key Features

• No-stop design allows full pipe pass-through for in-line splicing and repair applications
• Press-fit connection eliminates threading, soldering, and open flame on gas lines
• Carbon steel construction suitable for gas piping service
• 1/2-inch size fits standard half-inch gas piping
• Coupling configuration joins two pipe ends in a straight-line run

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit coupling for use in carbon steel press-fit gas piping systems sized at 1/2 inch. Verify compatibility with the press tool manufacturer and confirm local code acceptance of press-fit gas connections before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and applicable local amendments. Shut off and depressurize the gas line before beginning any work. Use only a press tool and jaw set rated and approved for this fitting series and pipe size. After pressing, perform a leak test on all connections before restoring gas pressure and returning the system to service.
