1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch Carbon Steel 418G Gas Press Reducing Fitting Male x Press Carbon Steel

Apollo PowerPress 1-1/2" x 1-1/4" Carbon Steel Reducing Fitting – Built for Secure Transitions

The Apollo PowerPress 1-1/2" x 1-1/4" carbon steel reducing fitting is engineered for use in high-pressure piping systems where reducing pipe size is necessary without compromising the integrity of the connection. Designed for quick installation using press technology, this fitting provides a reliable and permanent mechanical connection for water, air, and other non-flammable system lines.

Key Features

• Press Connection Technology: Utilizes a press-to-connect system compatible with standard press tools for fast, flameless installation in carbon steel systems.
• Material Construction: Fabricated from ASTM A513 carbon steel with zinc phosphate coating for corrosion resistance in standard environmental conditions.
• Dual Size Configuration: Reduces from 1-1/2" to 1-1/4" while maintaining pressure integrity across the joint.
• Sealing Element: Fitted with a factory-installed EPDM O-ring for a water-tight seal under temperature and pressure fluctuations.
• System Compatibility: Approved for use with carbon steel piping in commercial, industrial, and mechanical applications.

Installation Guidance

This fitting is designed for quick, tool-assisted installation using standard press tools (e.g., RIDGID®, Milwaukee®, or similar) with compatible jaws. Ensure proper alignment and verify engagement of the O-ring before crimping. Flame-free installation allows for use in sensitive environments without hot work permits. Always inspect the fitting for cleanliness prior to installation and verify system pressure and media compatibility with EPDM sealing materials.

Application Areas

The Apollo PowerPress reducing fitting is commonly used in mechanical rooms, water distribution mains, chilled water loops, and compressed air systems where space constraints or system design call for pipe size transitions. It is suitable for both new construction and retrofit installations.

Did You Know?

Press technology reduces installation time by up to 60% compared to traditional threaded systems and significantly lowers the risk of system leakage when installed correctly. EPDM O-rings are designed for long-term use in hydronic and domestic water applications, making them ideal for commercial plumbing.

Engineered for performance, this 1-1/2" x 1-1/4" carbon steel reducing press fitting delivers dependable service with reduced installation time and long-term reliability. For contractors focused on speed, safety, and durability, Apollo PowerPress offers a proven solution backed by rigorous manufacturing standards.
