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

1-1/4" Carbon Steel 406G 45° Gas Press Elbow – Engineered for Secure, Code-Compliant Gas Installations

The 1-1/4" Carbon Steel 406G 45-Degree Gas Press Elbow is designed for use in commercial and residential gas distribution systems, offering a mechanically pressed solution for directional changes in rigid piping. Fabricated from ASTM A105 carbon steel, this elbow delivers a secure and long-lasting transition in natural gas and fuel gas systems.

This fitting is part of the Apollo PowerPress™ system, featuring pre-installed EPDM sealing elements and press connections that enable consistent, flame-free installations. The 45° angle is ideal for routing in confined spaces while maintaining code compliance and reliable flow characteristics.

Installation Notes

This fitting is intended for use with carbon steel piping and approved press tools equipped with compatible jaws (e.g., M-profile). Ensure that pipe ends are clean, deburred, and marked for insertion depth. Always verify proper tool calibration and press integrity after installation to maintain system reliability.

Field Insight

Gas press fittings reduce labor time and fire risk on job sites by removing open flame and threading from the installation process. They are increasingly specified in tight-access mechanical rooms and retrofit upgrades.

The 1-1/4" Carbon Steel 406G 45° Gas Press Elbow provides the structural integrity and installation efficiency professionals require in code-critical fuel gas systems. Engineered to perform and built for longevity, it supports fast, safe, and leak-free transitions in any approved carbon steel gas application.
