Gi Pipe Fittings
Introduction
GI pipe fittings refer to fittings made from Galvanized Iron (GI), which is iron or steel pipe that has been coated with a protective layer of zinc to prevent rusting. These fittings are used to connect GI pipes together or to other plumbing components to create a pipeline system for various applications. Here’s an overview of GI pipe fittings, their types, applications, and considerations:
Key Features:
Elbows:
Used to change the direction of the pipe system at an angle, typically 90 degrees or 45
degrees.
Tees:
Allow the pipeline to split into two directions or join two pipes at a right angle.
Reducers:
Connect pipes of different sizes, reducing the diameter of the pipe system.
Couplings:
Join two pipes together directly, usually of the same size and type.
Unions:
Similar to couplings but allow for easy disconnection of pipes for maintenance or repair.
Caps:
Seal the end of a pipe to stop the flow, often used for closure in piping systems.
Nipples:
Short sections of pipe threaded at both ends, used to extend or connect fittings together.
Flanges:
Provide a method of connecting pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment to form a piping
system.
Applications:
Water Supply Systems:
Used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings for
conveying water.
Plumbing Systems:
Connect pipes in plumbing installations for sinks, showers, toilets, and
other fixtures.
Fire Fighting Systems:
Utilized in fire hydrant systems and sprinkler installations.
Chemical Processing:
Suitable for handling certain chemicals in industrial applications.
Oil and Gas Pipelines:
Used in certain low-pressure oil and gas pipeline systems.
