Malleable Iron Fittings Malleable iron fittings are durable, temperature resistant and resistant to high mechanical stress making them greatly popular in the plumbing industry. They are often galvanised with a standard jointing technology enabling them to be used safely in a broad range of applications. There are many advantages of using malleable iron fittings including corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. If galvanised with highly pure zinc they can be used to transport drinking water. The narrow threads help to achieve precise alignment when sealing, reducing the likelihood of leakage from the pipes. Fitting Types There are many different malleable iron fitting types available depending on the application they are required for including; Elbows Tees Crosses Reducers Sockets Nipples Plugs Caps Applications Commercial vehicle construction Machines for paper production Gas lines in petrol stations Oil, cooling and lubrication pipes Gas, emulsion and pressurised air pipe work Sprinkler and gas fire extinguishing systems Cooling and air conditioning Sanitary, heating and gas installation
