1 inch Carbon Steel 407 G 90 Degree Gas Press Elbow Press x Press

1" Carbon Steel Gas Press Elbow – 90° Fitting for Press-Connect Fuel Gas Systems

The 1" Carbon Steel Press Elbow is a 90-degree press-connect fitting designed for joining carbon steel pipe in fuel gas distribution systems. Manufactured from ASTM-compliant carbon steel with a corrosion-resistant coating, this elbow provides a mechanically secure and flame-free alternative to threaded or welded joints.

This press fitting is equipped with factory-installed HNBR sealing elements, suitable for natural gas and propane applications in accordance with applicable codes and certifications. Designed for use with compatible press tools, it enables rapid installation while maintaining high structural integrity under pressure and temperature variation.

Key Performance Features

• ✅ Material: Carbon steel per ASTM A420, zinc-plated for corrosion resistance in concealed and exposed locations.
• ✅ Connection Type: Press x Press – compatible with standard carbon steel press-jaw systems.
• ✅ Sealing Element: HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) – rated for fuel gas service up to 200°F (93°C).
• ✅ Operating Pressure: Suitable for fuel gas systems up to 125 PSI in accordance with ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
• ✅ Certifications: CSA LC-4, ICC-ES PMG Listing, and UPC-listed for fuel gas use.

Specifications

• Bend Radius: 90 degrees
• Application: Natural gas and propane piping systems in residential, commercial, and industrial construction
• Standards: ASME B16.49, ASTM A420, CSA LC-4, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54

Installation Guidance

Use only manufacturer-approved press tools and properly sized jaws for 1" carbon steel press fittings. Inspect pipe ends for cleanliness and proper cut, mark insertion depth, and press each connection in accordance with system guidelines. No threading, welding, or soldering is required. Verify all connections via visual press indicators where provided. Always perform leak testing per local gas code requirements before service activation.

Use Cases

This elbow is commonly installed in black steel gas distribution systems, such as boiler lines, rooftop units, and manifold branches. Appropriate for both new construction and system retrofits where flame-free mechanical joining is preferred or required by local code.

Code Compliance Note

Carbon steel gas press fittings must meet national fuel gas codes and be used only in approved applications. The HNBR sealing element must not be exposed to oils, chemicals, or operating conditions outside the rated range.

The 1" Carbon Steel Gas Press Elbow offers a reliable, code-approved solution for gas piping installations requiring a durable, mechanically joined 90° transition. Its design supports faster assembly while maintaining long-term sealing performance in fuel gas systems.
