Bmi 46806 Press-fit Male Adapter Carbon Gas 1 Inch

Product Description

The BMI 46806 is a 1-inch press-fit by male adapter designed for carbon steel gas piping systems. It connects press-fit carbon steel gas lines to male-threaded fittings or equipment, eliminating the need for open-flame soldering on gas applications. The press-fit end creates a secure, tool-compressed mechanical joint, while the male-threaded end provides a standard connection point. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this fitting during new construction and retrofit work on residential and light commercial gas distribution systems. The all-carbon construction is suited for dry natural gas and propane service lines where carbon press fittings are approved.

This adapter is used in carbon press gas fitting systems where a transition from a press-fit pipeline to a male-threaded component is required. Typical applications include connecting gas meters, valves, appliance connections, and manifold assemblies into a press-fit carbon steel gas distribution system. It is classified under carbon press gas fittings and is sized at 1 inch nominal for high-volume residential and light commercial gas supply runs.

Key Features

• 1-inch nominal press-fit end for tool-compressed, flame-free joint assembly
• Male-threaded outlet for connection to valves, meters, and threaded components
• Carbon steel construction rated for natural gas and propane service
• No-flame installation reduces fire risk in occupied or finished spaces
• Designed for use within carbon press gas fitting systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style component for 1-inch carbon press gas fitting systems used in residential and light commercial natural gas and propane piping installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local gas codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and verify zero gas pressure at the line before cutting or joining any fitting. A manufacturer-specified press tool with the correct jaw profile for the fitting size is required to form a leak-free joint. After installation, pressure-test the completed assembly per local code requirements before restoring gas service.
