2 inch Carbon Steel 406 G 45 Degree Gas Press Elbow Press x Press

2" Carbon Steel 45° Gas Press Elbow – Apollo PowerPress 406G Series

The Apollo PowerPress 406G 2" carbon steel 45-degree press elbow is designed for use in fuel gas distribution systems. It provides a directional change in pipe runs while maintaining system integrity and flow efficiency. This fitting is intended for use in non-potable applications including natural gas, propane, and compressed air systems where flame-free, mechanical press connections are preferred over traditional welding or threading.

Manufactured from ASTM A420 carbon steel and protected with a zinc-nickel coating for corrosion resistance, this elbow features press-to-connect ends and a factory-installed HNBR sealing element. The press ends are compatible with industry-standard press tools approved for carbon steel installations. This product is certified for use in gas systems under ANSI LC 4 and other applicable codes.

Installation Requirements

Fitting installation requires use of compatible press tools with approved jaws designed for carbon steel press fittings. Pipe ends must be cut square, cleaned, and marked for insertion depth. Do not use thread sealant or tape—mechanical sealing is achieved via the integrated HNBR sealing element. Follow manufacturer torque and spacing guidelines for code-compliant results.

Application Scope

This press elbow is used in commercial, industrial, and residential gas piping systems, including rooftop piping, meter manifolds, appliance branch lines, and indoor utility risers. Its 45° configuration allows for gradual directional changes in piping while minimizing pressure drop and turbulence.

Material and System Notes

Carbon steel press fittings provide high tensile strength, vibration resistance, and consistent mechanical performance in gas applications. HNBR seals are rated for exposure to hydrocarbons, natural gas blends, and operating temperatures between -40°F and 180°F. This fitting is not intended for use in potable water systems or pressurized steam service.
