1-1/2 inch Carbon Steel 411 G Gas Press Tee Press x Press x Press

1-1/2 Inch Carbon Steel Gas Press Tee – Press x Press x Press Configuration

The 1-1/2 inch Carbon Steel Press Tee is engineered for joining branch lines in gas distribution systems using press technology. Designed for use with Schedule 10 to Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe, it provides a reliable, flame-free method of joining gas piping in both commercial and residential applications.

This tee utilizes a press connection system with pre-installed EPDM sealing elements formulated for fuel gas applications. Installation is performed using compatible mechanical pressing tools, allowing for reduced installation time and elimination of hot work permits.

Standards and Compliance

• ✅ Listings: ANSI LC 4 / CSA 6.32 compliant for fuel gas distribution
• ✅ Certifications: Compatible with applicable ASME B16.3 and MSS-SP-58 standards
• ✅ Application: Approved for use in natural gas and LPG installations above ground only

Installation Guidelines

Proper pipe preparation—including deburring, cleaning, and insertion depth marking—is essential before pressing. Pressing tools must be calibrated and approved for use with the designated fitting profile. Sealing elements must remain free from damage or contamination before installation.

This fitting must not be used in underground or embedded applications unless wrapped or otherwise protected per local and national code. Only use in systems where temperature, pressure, and media compatibility are verified.

Typical Applications

• Branch connections in natural gas distribution piping
• Fuel gas lines in commercial and light industrial mechanical rooms
• Above-ground propane systems in residential and mixed-use structures

Material Note

Carbon steel fittings offer high mechanical strength and dimensional stability, making them suitable for gas infrastructure subject to thermal and mechanical stresses. Press connections minimize labor time and eliminate the need for flame-based joining methods.
