Are You Looking For Galvanized Pipe Fittings?

‍

Galvanized Pipe Fitting are used for connecting galvanized steel pipes. They are available in different sizes and standards to match with the different standards of galvanized pipes. The most commonly used types of galvantzed pipe fittings are listed below, along with their usage and installation instructions. We will look at the various galvanized pipe fittings, their uses, and where they should be installed in this article. This article is a general overview of the topic; we also recommend that you check specific manufacturers’ data before using any products mentioned here in your projects.

What is a Galvanized Pipe Fitting?

A pipe fitting is a device used to join two or more sections of pipe. The most common type used for plumbing applications is the “fitting” or “socket fitting”. A socket fitting is a tube (typically made of brass or copper) that has one end shaped like a “socket”, and the other end is shaped like a “fitting” that will connect to another pipe. A socket fitting is used to join two pieces of pipe of different diameters (called “tables”), and two pieces of pipe of different materials (called “mating materials”). A pipe fitting is made by cutting and forming a piece of metal into a “socket” or “fitting” shape. There are two different methods used in the U.S. to make pipe fittings. The first method, called “braze fitting”, is widely used for fittings that are below ground. The second method, called “welding”, is used for fittings that are above ground or that are used in the transportation of gas or water.

Hex Nipple/Sch 40 Galvanized Pipe Fittings

Hex nipples are used for “joining of two lengths of pipe, for example in a stack or for a change in direction within a pipe run”. They are made up of a hexagonal body and are designed so that a hexagonal nut can be inserted from either end. Hex nipples are available in Sch 40, Sch 80 and galvanized steel grades. The most commonly used hex nipple is the Sch 40 Hex Nipple. The Sch 40 Hex Nipple has a hex (internal) diameter of 1/2” and a 1/2” NPT male end. It is suitable for use in water lines with pressures up to 400 PSI.

Sch 80 Galvanized Pipe Fittings

Sch 80 galvanized pipe fittings are used for “joining of two lengths of pipe, for example in a stack or for a change in direction within a pipe run”. Sch 80 galvanized pipe fittings are designed for use in water lines with pressures up to 2,000 PSI. There are numerous types of Sch 80 galvanized pipe fittings available, and their use depends on the type of piping system and the flow rate for the particular system. Some common Sch 80 galvanized pipe fittings are: Sch 80 Slip Joint Join (SLJ) Branch: This is a type of joint that provides “a means of connection for two lengths of SCH 80 pipe or for a change in direction within a pipe run”. The SLJ is a non-tapped fitting that has an internal diameter that is 1/2” larger than the outside diameter of the pipe. Sch 80 D Straight Branch: This is a type of fitting that has a 1/2” NPT female end and a 1/2” NPT male end, and has an internal diameter of 1/2”. Sch 80 D 90 Degree Elbow: This is a type of fitting that has a 1/2” NPT female end and a 1/2” NPT male end, and has an internal diameter of 1/2”.

D Tee Branch

A Tee Branch or tee fitting is used for “joining of two lengths of pipe”. A Tee Branch is a fitting that has three openings, two of which are “slots”, and the other is a “female” end that is designed to accept a male pipe fitting. The Tee Branch can be used to connect two pieces of pipe of different diameters, or two different types of pipe (i.e. PVC and Copper). The Tee Branch is a Sch 80 galvanized pipe fitting with a female end (1/2” NPT) and slots that are 1/2” and 1/4” in diameter.

D Wye Branch

A Wye branch or Wye fitting is used for “joining of two lengths of pipe”. A Wye branch is a fitting that has three openings, two of which are designed as “slots”, and one of which is a “female” end that is designed to accept a male pipe fitting. The Wye branch can be used to connect two pieces of pipe of different diameters or two different types of pipe (i.e. PVC and Copper). The Wye branch is a Sch 80 galvanized pipe fitting with a female end (1/2” NPT) and slots that are 1/2” and 1/4” in diameter.

How to Install Galvanized Steel Pipes?

All fittings used in the installation of galvanized steel pipe must be “galvanized” or made of “coated steel”. They must match the wall thickness of the pipe being used. The pipe being used in the installation must also be galvanized. The table below lists the standard pipe diameters and their wall thicknesses (in inches). In order to use the table, you will need to know the size of the pipe being used. For example, if you are installing 2” I.D. galvanized steel pipe, then you will use “Standard Pipe 2” from the table below. You will then see that the wall thickness for “Standard Pipe 2” is “Schedule 40”. You will then need to select a fitting that is suitable for “Schedule 40” wall thickness and is compatible with galvanized steel pipe.
