Malleable cast iron fittings
In pipe construction, the term ‘fittings’ refers to connecting elements or other accessories. They are available in dozens of different varieties. As a rule, all of these parts are used for connecting one or more pipes or for installing fittings or components used for metering. The only exception is the plug. This serves as a closure for a pipe. Apart from this, there are nipples as well as unions and elbows. The term ‘nipple’ is used for simple connecting elements with external threads. Examples include double nipples, reduction nipples and pipe nipples. The term ‘piece’ generally refers to connections with female threads such as tees, crosses and reducing bushes. Reducing bushes are equipped with an female thread on one side only. Elbows and unions also come under the category of ‘pieces’.

Threaded fittings made of malleable cast iron
The choice of material will depend on the type of fluid flowing through the pipes and the material from which the pipes are made. To protect workers from injury and to avoid damage to components, machinery and pumps, the pipe connection elements should only be installed when the systems have been shut down. In addition, the pipes should be free of any fluid. In order to ensure that installed threaded fittings remain leak-proof, additional sealing tape or Teflon tape should be used. We would be happy to advise you on your selection of the correct pipe fittings for your application and provide you with a customised quotation.
