Installation Guidelines

Installation requires an approved press tool compatible with the Apollo PowerPress profile. Clean pipe ends, verify sealing element condition, and mark insertion depth prior to pressing. Avoid excessive torque at threaded joints and use compatible thread sealant where applicable. Do not install in systems exceeding pressure, temperature, or chemical exposure limitations defined by the manufacturer.

Application Areas

Primarily used in fuel gas distribution systems including natural gas and propane, this fitting is suitable for commercial buildings, multi-family installations, and industrial retrofits where reduced labor and flame-free assembly are required.

Regulatory Considerations

Press fittings used in fuel gas systems must meet code standards such as those outlined in NFPA 54 and state-specific mechanical codes. This fitting is third-party listed to confirm compliance.

This 2 inch x 1-1/4 inch reducing press fitting offers a mechanically robust and installation-efficient solution for gas systems where traditional joining methods are impractical or time-prohibitive.
