2 inch Carbon Steel 404G Gas Press Adapter Press x Male

2" Carbon Steel Gas Press Adapter – Code-Compliant Transition for Press-to-Thread Connections

The 2" Carbon Steel 404G Gas Press Adapter is a specialized transition fitting designed to join press-connect gas piping systems to traditional threaded components. Fabricated from zinc-coated carbon steel with an EP finish, this adapter is engineered for use in natural gas and propane fuel systems where reliability and mechanical integrity are critical.

Part of the Apollo PowerPress® system, the 404G press adapter features a press end connection on one side and a male NPT thread on the other, enabling seamless integration into mixed piping networks. The factory-installed HNBR sealing element is approved for fuel gas service under applicable ANSI/CSA standards.

Key Functional Attributes

• ✅ Carbon Steel with EP Coating: Provides corrosion resistance and long service life in fuel gas distribution systems.
• ✅ Press x Male Threaded Transition: Supports direct connection from press system to threaded equipment or pipe runs.
• ✅ HNBR Sealing Element: Rated for gas service up to 200 PSI and temperatures up to 180°F; factory-installed to ensure consistent joint quality.
• ✅ Flame-Free Installation: Press technology eliminates the need for hot work permits and speeds up project timelines on occupied job sites.
• ✅ Third-Party Certified: Complies with ANSI LC 4/CSA 6.32 press-connect standards for fuel gas applications.

Installation Parameters

This adapter is intended for use by qualified personnel using approved press tools. Pipe ends must be cut square, deburred, and cleaned before press installation. For threaded joints, apply appropriate fuel gas-rated sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a gas-tight seal. Confirm press connection using the tool’s inspection window or alignment markings per manufacturer instructions.
