Apollo PowerPress 1-1/4" Carbon Steel Press Reducing Tee – Engineered for System Adaptability

The Apollo PowerPress 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" x 1" Carbon Steel Press Reducing Tee is a mechanical fitting designed for use in carbon steel piping systems requiring press-fit connections. This reducing tee allows for the integration of different pipe diameters while maintaining structural integrity and pressure capability across fluid or hydronic circuits.

Manufactured from robust carbon steel and configured with press-to-connect ends, the fitting facilitates flame-free installation and is suitable for use in closed-loop heating and cooling systems, non-potable water lines, and compressed air systems. It supports rapid installation with compatible press tools, eliminating the need for welding or threading on the job site.

Product Features

• ✅ Carbon Steel Body — Fabricated from corrosion-resistant carbon steel, ideal for industrial and mechanical piping environments.
• ✅ Press Connection System — Designed for secure, mechanical joining using press tools, reducing labor time and improving safety.
• ✅ Reduced Branch Configuration — Allows seamless reduction from 1-1/4" main line to 1" branch, supporting efficient layout and flow control.
• ✅ Reliable Sealing Elements — Incorporates factory-installed EPDM sealing elements for use in hydronic and other approved systems.
• ✅ System Compatibility — Approved for use in a wide range of non-potable applications including glycol-based systems, fire protection loops, and mechanical utilities.

Common Applications

Used in commercial and industrial systems for transitioning between pipe sizes without reducing overall system pressure. Frequently specified in hydronic heating, chilled water, and low-pressure steam systems. Compatible with black steel pipe used in HVAC, mechanical plant, and process distribution networks.

Installation Guidelines

Install using an approved press tool system with proper jaw calibration. Ensure that pipe ends are clean, deburred, and marked for insertion depth. Do not use for potable water applications unless specified with appropriate sealing elements and certification.

The Apollo PowerPress Carbon Steel Press Reducing Tee supports code-compliant assembly and efficient system design in high-demand commercial environments. Its press-fit technology and durable construction make it a reliable choice for installers seeking to reduce installation time while maintaining mechanical performance.
