Malleable fittings are iron pipe fittings used for plumbing and electrical conduit. They are made from white iron, which is softened through annealing into malleable iron. Blackheart malleable iron is used for plumbing fittings and can be zinc plated for corrosion protection. Malleable fittings are mainly used for high pressure gas and steam lines. Galvanized […]
Plumbing fittings are used to change the direction of water flow or stop it altogether. Elbow joints change the direction at an angle of 45° or 90°, tees combine or divide a stream of water, and cross joints have three inlet valves and one outlet valve. Caps and plugs close the end of a tube, […]
Propane fittings, including regulators, couplers, and tee valves, are necessary for safe and consistent propane gas flow in various applications. They are generally not interchangeable, but some valve and coupling systems are standardized for efficiency and versatility. Propane is a versatile fuel source that can be used in many different applications, from outdoor cooking and […]
Propane fittings, including regulators, couplers, brass tee valves, and steel fittings, are essential for safe and consistent propane gas flow. They are specific to manufacturers and applications but some valve and coupling systems are interchangeable. Propane is a versatile fuel source that can be used in many different applications, from outdoor cooking and camping accessories […]
Compressor fittings come in NPT and metric sizes, with different styles like straight, tee, and elbow connectors. NPT sizing refers to the taper of threads, while metric sizing is not available. Quick-disconnect fittings save air supply, high flow fittings are best for sanding, and swivel fittings are used on pneumatic attachments. Automatic oilers extend air […]
Hose fittings connect hoses to machinery or other hoses, often airtight and watertight. Different designs include Storz, Nakajima, Barcelona, Guillemen’s symmetrical clutch, and National hose attachment. Hose fittings can be stored on reels and adapters can be used to connect incompatible devices. Hose fittings are a connecting fitting found on the end of a hose. […]
Compression fittings are used in plumbing for quick and easy sealing, and can be reused by replacing the ferrule or O-ring. They are commonly found under sinks and can be used to mix plumbing types. They are easily installed and used in high-risk applications. Overtightening can cause failure, and welded connections may be better for […]
Compression fittings use a nut and ferrule or O-ring to create a seal in plumbing applications. They are easily installed and can be reused by replacing the ferrule or O-ring. They are not as durable as welded connections but are preferred for occasional removal or disassembly. Compression fittings use a nut slipped over a length […]
