Bmi 46206 Carbon Press Gas Elbow 45 Degree 1 Inch

Product Description

The BMI 46206 is a 1-inch, 45-degree carbon steel press-fit elbow designed for gas distribution piping systems. This fitting connects sections of gas supply line at a 45-degree angle without the need for threading or soldering. The press connection method allows for fast, reliable joints using a standard pressing tool, making it a practical choice for licensed plumbers and gas fitters working on residential and light commercial gas piping installations.

This fitting is suited for use in natural gas and similar fuel gas piping applications where press-fit carbon steel fittings are specified or preferred. The 45-degree angle makes it useful in routing gas lines around obstacles or transitioning pipe runs within walls, mechanical rooms, and utility spaces. It is installed by qualified tradespeople in compliance with applicable fuel gas codes.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for angled gas line routing
• 1-inch press-fit connection for tool-based, no-flame joining
• Carbon steel construction suited for gas service
• Eliminates threading and open-flame work at the joint
• Compact fitting profile for tight mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit carbon steel gas elbow for use in 1-inch fuel gas piping systems where press fittings are an approved installation method per applicable code.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and all applicable local codes. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the line before beginning work. Use only a properly calibrated press tool with jaws rated for this fitting size and profile. Inspect the press connection for proper seating and perform a pressure test before returning the system to service.
