1-1/4 inch Carbon Steel 406 2G 45 Degree Gas Press Elbow Fitting x Press

Apollo PowerPress 1-1/4" Carbon Steel 406 2G 45° Gas Press Elbow – Heavy-Duty Directional Transition for Fuel Gas Systems

The Apollo PowerPress 1-1/4" Carbon Steel 45° Elbow (Model 406 2G) is engineered for directional changes in Schedule 10 or Schedule 40 carbon steel piping systems used in fuel gas distribution. Designed for compatibility with ANSI Z535-rated press systems, this press fitting provides a secure, flame-free alternative to traditional threaded or welded joints in commercial and industrial applications.

This elbow is manufactured from ASTM A420 carbon steel and features a zinc-nickel corrosion-resistant coating. The press ends utilize pre-installed HNBR sealing elements rated for fuel gas service, offering exceptional resistance to oil, natural gas, propane, and related hydrocarbons. With its 45-degree geometry, it enables smooth redirection of flow in tight installations without significantly increasing system pressure drop.

Key Features

• ✅ Press Connection – Compatible with standard hydraulic press tools (V-profile jaws), eliminating the need for welding or threading
• ✅ HNBR Sealing Elements – Factory-installed dual o-rings for long-term resistance to fuel gas and oil-based media
• ✅ Durable Carbon Steel Construction – Made from high-strength A420 carbon steel with black e-coating for enhanced corrosion resistance
• ✅ Precision 45° Angle – Designed to maintain directional flow while reducing system turbulence in compact mechanical rooms or confined spaces
• ✅ Compliance – UL Listed, FM Approved, IAPMO Certified, and compliant with ASME B31.1, B31.3, and CSA fuel gas codes

Specifications

• Size: 1-1/4" nominal pipe size
• Material: ASTM A420 Carbon Steel with black zinc-nickel coating
• Seal Material: HNBR (yellow-coded for fuel gas identification)
• Working Pressure: Up to 200 psi for gas applications
• Temperature Range: -40°F to 180°F (with HNBR seals)

Application

This fitting is suitable for use in fuel gas distribution systems including natural gas, LP gas, and compressed air installations. It is ideal for commercial kitchens, mechanical rooms, and retrofit environments where hot work permits are restricted. Frequently installed in heating plant distribution networks and gas manifolds requiring directional transitions without compromising code compliance.

Note on Installation

Installation requires an approved press tool with compatible jaws. Ensure the pipe is properly deburred and marked for full insertion depth before pressing. Do not use this fitting for potable water or steam applications. Always consult local codes and manufacturer guidelines before use.

The Apollo PowerPress 1-1/4" 45° Carbon Steel Gas Press Elbow delivers consistent, field-proven performance in fuel gas installations where speed, safety, and structural integrity are non-negotiable. An essential component in modern press-fit gas systems.
