Bmi 46077 Press-fit No Stop Coupling Carbon Gas 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The BMI 46077 is a 1-1/4 inch press-fit no-stop coupling designed for carbon steel gas piping systems. This fitting connects two sections of gas pipe without an internal pipe stop, allowing the coupling to slide freely along the pipe for repair and inline connection work. The press-fit connection method eliminates open-flame soldering or threading on the joint, making it suitable for natural gas and propane distribution piping in both new construction and retrofit applications. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This coupling is used in residential and light commercial gas piping installations where carbon steel press fittings are the specified connection system. The no-stop design is particularly useful in repair scenarios where a standard coupling cannot be slid into position over a fixed pipe run. It fits into press-fit gas fitting systems sized at 1-1/4 inch and is categorized under carbon press gas fittings for natural gas and propane service lines.

Key Features

• No internal pipe stop allows free axial movement along pipe for repair installations
• Press-fit connection eliminates threading or open-flame work at the joint
• Carbon steel construction suited for gas service piping
• 1-1/4 inch size fits standard gas pipe runs in residential and light commercial systems
• Compatible with press-fit gas fitting tool systems used on carbon steel pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit replacement coupling for 1-1/4 inch carbon steel gas piping systems where press-fit connections are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off and verify zero gas pressure at the line before any fitting work begins. A listed press-fit jaw tool sized for 1-1/4 inch carbon steel press fittings is required to make the connection. Never attempt to press the fitting without confirming the pipe end is clean, round, and free of burrs.
