2 inch x 1 inch Carbon Steel 418G Gas Press Reducing Fitting Male x Press Carbon Steel

2 Inch x 1 Inch Carbon Steel Gas Press Reducing Coupling – Fuel Gas Rated

The 2" x 1" Carbon Steel Press Reducing Coupling is engineered for use in fuel gas piping systems requiring a size transition between two press-connect carbon steel pipes. This fitting supports rapid installation and secure, flame-free connections in natural gas and propane distribution networks.

Application Features and Benefits

• ✅ Carbon Steel Construction – Fabricated from zinc-coated carbon steel for enhanced corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in fuel gas environments.
• ✅ Press-Fit Connections – Compatible with standard press tools and profiles (e.g., TH, H), allowing for efficient installation without threading or welding.
• ✅ Gas-Rated Sealing Element – Pre-installed yellow HNBR O-ring ensures a secure, leak-resistant seal for use in gas service applications.
• ✅ Reduced End Outlet – Allows transition from a 2 inch main to a 1 inch branch line without the need for bushings or adapters.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Zinc-plated carbon steel
• Size: 2 inch x 1 inch
• Connection Type: Press x Press
• Seal Material: Yellow HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber)
• Pressure Rating: Up to 125 PSI (fuel gas applications)
• Temperature Range: -40°F to 180°F (with HNBR seals)
• Certifications: Conforms to ANSI LC 4 / CSA 6.32, ICC listed

Typical Applications

This press coupling is commonly used in branch line transitions and riser assemblies within gas distribution systems. Suitable installations include:

• Natural gas piping for commercial HVAC equipment
• Propane distribution for industrial heating appliances
• Retrofitting and pressure-rated upgrades in existing gas piping systems

Installation Notes

All pipe ends must be cut square, deburred, and marked for insertion depth prior to pressing. Use only manufacturer-approved press tools and follow torque and alignment guidelines to ensure seal integrity. Inspect O-rings before installation to verify condition and compatibility.

The 2" x 1" Carbon Steel Gas Press Reducing Coupling provides a code-compliant, time-saving solution for professional installers working with fuel gas piping systems. It ensures consistent pressure performance and ease of integration into both new and retrofit gas system designs.
