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

2" Carbon Steel Press Elbow – 90° Gas Fitting for Commercial Piping Systems

The 2-inch carbon steel press elbow is designed to deliver dependable directional changes in fuel gas piping systems. Manufactured to support 90° transitions, this fitting is ideal for use in high-pressure commercial and industrial installations where a durable and secure connection is critical.

This elbow utilizes a press-to-connect configuration, suitable for use with compatible carbon steel piping and pressing tools that conform to ASTM and ASME standards. It is typically installed in applications requiring consistent gas flow with minimal pressure loss through the bend.

Performance Characteristics

• ✅ Material Composition: Fabricated from ASTM A106 Grade B or equivalent carbon steel for structural strength and thermal stability under operating pressures.
• ✅ Press Connection Ends: Fitting is equipped with dual press ends designed for use with standard mechanical press tools and compatible jaw sets.
• ✅ Sealing Element: Factory-installed HNBR sealing element rated for fuel gas applications and compliant with ANSI LC-4 standards.
• ✅ Working Pressure: Suitable for operating pressures up to 125 psi in natural gas and LP gas systems; actual performance may vary depending on system conditions and code requirements.
• ✅ Corrosion Protection: Zinc phosphate or e-coat finish protects against external corrosion in interior environments; not intended for direct burial without additional treatment.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 2 inches
• Bend Angle: 90 degrees
• Connection Type: Press x Press
• Material: Carbon Steel
• Seal Type: HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber)
• Standards Compliance: CSA LC-4, ASME B31.3, NFPA 54

Installation Guidance

This press elbow requires a compatible mechanical pressing tool capable of applying uniform force on both ends to achieve a gas-tight seal. No threading, welding, or soldering is necessary. Ensure the sealing element is undamaged prior to installation. Clean pipe ends and verify depth markings before pressing. Press connections must not be made in environments where temperatures exceed HNBR ratings unless otherwise certified.

Typical Applications

Used primarily in gas distribution piping for commercial and industrial buildings. Suitable for horizontal and vertical directional changes in black steel fuel gas piping. May also be applied in hydronic heating systems where carbon steel compatibility is required.

Additional Notes

Press fittings are valued in gas applications for reducing labor time and eliminating the need for hot work permits. When installed correctly, press fittings deliver uniform pressure performance and system integrity without the variability associated with threaded joints.

The 2" Carbon Steel Press Elbow is a practical and code-compliant solution for contractors working in fuel gas environments where system integrity and rapid installation are priorities. Always follow manufacturer installation instructions and local mechanical codes when deploying press systems in gas service lines.
