Versatile Applications and Connection TypesDesigned for a wide range of usesindustrial, plumbing, water distribution, and sewage systemsthese cast iron fittings come with plain, beveled, socket, spigot, flanged, and threaded connections to suit varied installation needs. Their compatibility with both above and underground placements highlights their versatility.
High Performance and ReliabilityThe cast iron fittings offer superior impact strength, proven by their suitability for underground installation. They undergo rigorous 100% hydrostatic leak-proof testing, ensuring the highest degree of reliability for critical fluid, gas, and air transport. Their rigid construction minimizes maintenance and maximizes operational lifespan.
Compliance and Robust MaterialManufactured under international standards (IS 1538 / BS EN 877) and utilizing FG 260/IS 210 Grade 20 & 25, these fittings ensure consistent quality and strength. Coatings of epoxy or bitumen further enhance resistance to corrosion, making them an excellent choice for demanding environments.
FAQs of Cast Iron Pipe Fittings:
Q: How should cast iron pipe fittings with plain or beveled ends be installed for underground applications?
A: For underground installation, fittings with plain or beveled ends are typically joined using socket, spigot, or flanged connections. Sealing may involve rubber gaskets or lead joints, and care should be taken to follow standards IS 1538 or BS EN 877, ensuring proper joint integrity and leak-proof performance.
Q: What are the benefits of using cast iron fittings for water, gas, and sewage systems?
A: Cast iron fittings provide excellent durability, impact strength, and high pressure handling (up to 16 bar). They maintain leak-proof service due to 100% hydrostatic testing, and their rigid construction, combined with corrosion-resistant coatings, ensures suitability for water, gas, sewage, and air applications.
Q: When is it necessary to use epoxy or bitumen coating on cast iron pipe fittings?
A: Epoxy or bitumen coatings are recommended when fittings are exposed to harsh environmental conditions or corrosive fluids, such as in underground installations or sewage systems. These coatings extend operational life by mitigating rust and external damage.
Q: Where are these cast iron fittings commonly used in India?
A: In India, cast iron pipe fittings are extensively used in industrial plants, municipal water distribution systems, sewage networks, and commercial plumbing due to their standard-compliant design, reliability, and capability to handle a wide range of fluids.
Q: What maintenance is required for cast iron pipe fittings after installation?
A: These fittings are designed for low maintenance. Periodic checks for joint integrity and gasket condition are advised, especially in underground systems. Routine inspections ensure long-term leak-proof performance without frequent intervention.
Q: How does the sealing type affect the leak-proof quality of cast iron fittings?
A: Sealing using rubber gaskets, lead joints, or threaded seals provides robust leak-proof connections. These methods, combined with rigorous hydrostatic testing, guarantee that the installation remains sealed and functional under rated pressure conditions.
