Bmi 46706 Press-fit Female Adapter Carbon Gas 1 Inch

Product Description

The BMI 46706 is a 1-inch carbon steel press-fit by female adapter designed for gas piping systems. It creates a permanent, leak-resistant joint using a press connection on one end and a female threaded connection on the other, eliminating the need for open-flame soldering on the gas line. This fitting is used in residential and light commercial gas distribution piping and is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on natural gas or propane systems.

The 46706 fits into carbon press gas fitting systems where speed and reliability are priorities. The press-fit end accepts a standard pressing tool, making it well suited for retrofit and new construction jobs where minimizing torch work is preferred. It belongs to the carbon press gas fitting category and is appropriate for indoor gas piping runs.
