How to Choose Industrial Pipe Fittings

When choosing industrial pipe fittings, take into consideration the size, material, and connection type. Industrial pipe fittings offer process control and secure connections which are easy to install.

Water, oil, steam, and air specifications often call for cast iron. It is ideal for fire protection in both residential and commercial construction. Industrial cast iron pipe fittings come in two major types: hub and hubless (or no-hub).

Hub Pipe Fittings

Hub pipe fittings have hubs into which you insert the plain end of the pipe. You then seal the joints with a rubber compression gasket. Hub fittings come in two thicknesses, Service or Extra Heavy, which are not interchangeable because of different outside diameters.

Hubless Pipe Fittings

Hubless pipe fittings are simply pipes and fittings without a hub. To join the pipe and fittings, you use a hubless coupling that slips over the ends of the pipe and fittings and tightens to seal the joint.

Industrial Pipe Fittings and Characteristics

Cast iron pipe gasket joints are semi-rigid, watertight connections. Perfect for sanitary waste, vent, or sewer systems, these joints allow enough flexibility under adverse conditions such as ground shift and settlement, so the pipe does not break or leak.

Low-cost Installation

Cast iron industrial pipe fittings quickly and efficiently install thanks to the hubless couplings and compression gasket joints. Using 10-foot pipe lengths reduces the required number of joints in your plumbing system. Finally, you can preassemble cast iron pipe before installing it inside a wall or in the ground, significantly speeding up installation times.
