1-1/4 inch Carbon Steel Water Press Union Press x Press

1-1/4 Inch Carbon Steel Press Union for Mechanical and Water Supply Systems

The 1-1/4 inch carbon steel press union is designed for use in press-fit piping systems requiring a fully demountable joint. This union provides a secure, mechanical connection in closed water loops and potable water lines, offering reliable performance under pressure without the need for flame-based joining methods.

Engineering and Material Characteristics

Constructed from carbon steel, this fitting supports high-pressure applications and is produced to tight tolerances to ensure sealing integrity. It is suitable for installations requiring access points for future maintenance or component replacement.

• ✅ Machined Press Ends Ensure precise alignment and proper tool engagement for consistent sealing performance.
• ✅ Durable Carbon Steel Body Withstands elevated mechanical loads and system pressure fluctuations.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance Treated surfaces mitigate material degradation in potable water and hydronic environments.
• ✅ Code Compliance Manufactured to meet applicable standards for use in pressurized water systems.
• ✅ Serviceability Union configuration allows disassembly without pipe removal, facilitating maintenance or upgrades.

Installation Notes

This union requires mechanical press tools compatible with the pipe diameter and press collar design. Pipe ends must be cut square, deburred, and cleaned prior to insertion. Proper alignment during pressing is critical to achieving a leak-free seal. Thread sealant is not required on press connections.

Technical Specifications

• Size: 1-1/4 Inch
