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

1-1/2" Carbon Steel 90° Gas Press Elbow – Built for High-Pressure Gas Systems

The 1-1/2" Carbon Steel 90-Degree Gas Press Elbow is designed specifically for secure directional changes in fuel gas piping systems. Manufactured for use in high-pressure environments, this elbow offers a reliable press-fit solution that reduces installation time and improves safety in residential, commercial, and industrial gas applications.

Performance and Application Advantages

• ✅ Press Connection Design – Allows for fast, flameless installations using standard press tools; reduces labor time and eliminates the need for hot work permits.
• ✅ Carbon Steel Construction – Provides high tensile strength and excellent pressure resistance, essential for gas distribution systems.
• ✅ EPDM Sealing Element – Pre-installed yellow O-ring is compatible with fuel gas applications and rated for system temperatures and pressures per ANSI LC 4/CSA 6.32 standards.
• ✅ Engineered Radius – The smooth internal bend minimizes turbulence and pressure loss at directional changes.
• ✅ Visual Leak Indication (VLI) – Leak detection feature prior to pressing alerts contractors to unpressed joints during system testing.

Installation Guidelines

Install using manufacturer-approved press tools with properly calibrated jaws. Ensure the pipe is clean and deburred prior to pressing. The yellow O-ring must be inspected for integrity before installation. Suitable for concealed and exposed gas piping installations within the pressure and temperature limits specified.

Common Use Cases

Ideal for natural gas and propane piping systems, including rooftop HVAC gas lines, boiler rooms, commercial kitchens, and underground gas piping (with proper corrosion protection). Its 90-degree angle enables compact routing around structural obstructions without sacrificing flow performance.

Note on Material Selection

Carbon steel press fittings offer a cost-effective, durable alternative to threaded systems and brazed copper in gas service lines. Their mechanical strength and resistance to vibration make them particularly suited for large-scale gas distribution systems subject to thermal expansion or pressure fluctuations.

The 1-1/2" Carbon Steel 90° Gas Press Elbow delivers professional-grade performance with code-compliant press connectivity. It’s the right choice when reliability, speed, and compliance are critical to your project’s success.
