GALVANIZED FITTINGS FOR SALE
Galvanized fittings are metal connectors used in plumbing, gas lines, fire sprinkler systems, and other construction and industrial applications. They are made of steel that has been coated with a layer of zinc through a process called galvanizing. This process provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these fittings ideal for use in environments where exposure to moisture or chemicals is a concern.
While both galvanized and black fittings are commonly used in plumbing, they differ primarily in their finish and intended use. Galvanized fittings feature a zinc coating that provides superior rust and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, especially those involving exposure to the elements. Black fittings, on the other hand, have a distinctive dark finish and are often preferred for their aesthetic appeal, commonly used in exposed plumbing situations for a more industrial or rustic look.
WHERE GALVANIZED FITTINGS ARE USED
While galvanized fittings are commonly used in pipes for plumbing, gas lines, and sprinkler systems, they are not limited to pipes alone.
Here are some other applications where galvanized fittings find use:
-
Industrial Equipment: Galvanized fittings can be found in industrial equipment, such as tanks, vessels, and machinery. Their corrosion resistance is especially valuable in environments where exposure to harsh conditions is common.
-
Other Applications: Galvanized fittings can also be found in applications such as railings, handrails, and even some types of lighting fixtures.
