Black pipe fittings, also known as black malleable iron fittings, are used to connect and join black steel pipes. These fittings are essential for transporting gas, water, oil, or air. Unlike regular steel fittings, black pipe fittings form a tighter seal when connected to black iron or black steel pipes.
Here are some common types of black pipe fittings:
- Elbows: These fittings allow you to change the direction of the pipe by 90 degrees or 45 degrees. They are commonly used to navigate around obstacles or create corners in plumbing or industrial systems.
- Tees: Tees have a T-shaped design and allow you to connect three pipes at right angles. They are useful for branching off a main pipeline into two separate lines.
- Couplings: Couplings are used to join two pipes together in a straight line. They provide a secure connection and are often used for extending pipe lengths.
- Unions: Unions consist of two threaded halves that can be easily disconnected. They are useful for maintenance or repairs, allowing you to separate pipes without cutting them.
- Caps: Caps are used to close the end of a pipe. They prevent debris, dust, or other materials from entering the pipe and protect the interior.
- Nipples: Nipples are short sections of pipe with threaded ends. They are used for connecting two fittings or extending pipe lengths.
