The Pegler XPress 316 Stainless Steel Gas Male Connector, maker code SSG3, is a straight connector with a press socket on one end and a BSP taper male thread on the other for the XPress Stainless Gas press fit system.

Use it to go from stainless gas pipe into a female threaded valve, meter union or appliance fitting. Threaded sizes are listed as pipe size x BSP thread size. Pegler make it in 316L stainless steel (1.4404) with a yellow HNBR O-ring and yellow marking, for natural gas where copper is not suitable, for example where hydrogen sulphide is present. Every size, the XPress 316 Stainless Steel Gas Male Connector 88.9mm x 3″ included, can be bought online or over our South Street counter.

XPress uses the M press profile and needs no flame or heat. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe before you push it in, so you know it is fully home before you press.

Couplings, elbows and tees to go with it are in our Pegler XPress 316 stainless steel gas press fit range.
