The MegaPress Press-In Branch Connector is an innovative way to
create branches from main runs or install instrumentation onto
existing piping. The branch connector installs onto carbon steel pipe
in sizes 1½" through 4", as well as 6", and has a ¾" FPT outlet. As
with other MegaPress products, it can be installed on partially
drained systems, further reducing downtime during installation.
The MegaPress Press-In Branch Connector is approved for use in
hydronic heating, cooling water applications, compressed gases and
many more, thanks to a variety of sealing elements. Not approved
for use with potable water.
