1/2" Carbon Steel 407 G 90 Degree Gas Press Elbow Steel 407 G Press x Press

Apollo PowerPress 407G – 1/2" Carbon Steel Press Elbow, 90°

The Apollo 407G 1/2" Carbon Steel Press Elbow is a 90-degree fitting designed to provide directional changes in carbon steel piping systems using press-connect technology. Manufactured from ASTM A420-grade carbon steel and featuring a zinc-plated exterior, this fitting supports reliable installation in closed-loop hydronic heating, compressed air, fire sprinkler, and non-potable water distribution systems.

This press elbow is engineered with a factory-installed EPDM sealing element and meets performance standards for mechanical and plumbing systems where welding or threading is not desired. The fitting is compatible with standard press tools using approved jaws and conforms to multiple industry codes and listings.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 1/2 inch
• Fitting Type: 90° Elbow
• Material: Carbon Steel (ASTM A420), zinc-plated
• Sealing Element: EPDM (factory installed)
• Connection Type: Press x Press (V-profile)
• Maximum Working Pressure: 200 psi (water, air, inert gas)
• Temperature Rating: 0°F to 250°F (based on EPDM limitations)
• Certifications: ASME B16.51, IAPMO, FM Approved, UL Listed

Installation Requirements

Install using a compatible press tool and V-profile jaw appropriate for the pipe diameter. Cut pipe square, deburr, and mark insertion depth prior to pressing. Ensure clean, dry pipe ends and verify proper alignment. Use in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines and local mechanical/plumbing code requirements. Not intended for potable water systems unless approved sealing element is specified.

Common Applications

Typically installed in commercial mechanical rooms, HVAC piping loops, compressed air systems, closed water heating systems, and fire suppression branch lines. The 90° design supports changes in direction while maintaining flow velocity and pressure stability.

Material and Performance Notes

Carbon steel press fittings offer reduced installation time compared to threaded or welded systems and eliminate the need for hot work permits. Zinc-plated exteriors improve corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments. EPDM sealing elements provide compatibility with glycol solutions and non-potable water systems under elevated temperature conditions.
