Bmi 46807 Press-fit Male Adapter Carbon Gas 1.25 in

Product Description

The BMI 46807 is a 1.25-inch press-fit by male adapter designed for carbon steel gas piping systems. This fitting creates a secure, tool-pressed mechanical connection on one end and transitions to a male threaded connection on the other, eliminating the need for open-flame soldering or brazing in gas line applications. It is used in residential and commercial gas distribution piping where press-fit technology is specified. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in new construction and retrofit applications.

This adapter is suited for natural gas and propane distribution piping where carbon steel press fittings are the specified connection method. The press-fit end accepts a standard press tool jaw sized for 1.25-inch carbon steel fittings. The male threaded end connects to valves, appliance connectors, or other threaded gas components at the same nominal pipe size. It is commonly used at transition points in gas rough-in piping where a pressed carbon steel run meets a threaded component.

Key Features

• Press-fit by male adapter configuration for carbon steel gas piping
• 1.25-inch nominal size fits standard press tooling for that diameter
• Carbon steel construction appropriate for gas service
• Eliminates open-flame joining at the press end, reducing fire risk during installation
• Male threaded end enables direct connection to threaded valves and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit carbon steel gas adapter for use in 1.25-inch natural gas and propane piping systems where carbon steel press fittings are required.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and verify zero pressure on the gas supply before working on any section of the piping. The press end requires a compatible press tool and the correct jaw or ring for 1.25-inch carbon steel fittings. Inspect the fitting seat and sealing element before pressing, and pressure-test the completed joint per local authority requirements before restoring gas service.
