What Are Copper Fittings?

Copper fittings are essential parts of plumbing systems, providing durability, versatility, and reliability. One notable quality of copper fittings is their exceptional machinability which enables precise shaping and customization according to individual plumbing needs. From cutting, drilling or threading tasks - copper fittings can easily be managed making them perfect for multiple plumbing applications.

Another distinctive characteristic of copper fittings is their impressive corrosion resistance. Copper naturally forms a protective oxide layer which blocks out corrosion for long-term performance with minimal upkeep costs and maintenance requirements, making these fittings suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations in harsh environments where other materials might deteriorate over time.

Copper Pipe Fittings

Copper fittings not only boast excellent machinability and corrosion resistance properties, but their weldability also allows for quick assembly using various joining methods like soldering, brazing, or welding - these ensure leak-free connections while increasing overall plumbing system integrity and decreasing risk of potential failures.

Copper fittings boast benefits beyond their mechanical qualities. Copper is non-toxic and eco-friendly; therefore it is ideal for transporting potable water without being harmful to our health or the environment. Furthermore, its recyclable nature means it can be recycled repeatedly without loss in properties; finally it boasts proven track records of reliability and longevity to give homeowners and professionals peace of mind alike.

Copper fittings find applications across residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems. Copper is often utilized in water supply lines; HVAC (heating ventilation air conditioning) units; refrigeration units and gas distribution networks - and its versatility with regard to various piping materials makes copper the go-to choice of plumbers and contractors in various sectors.

Copper fittings find applications across numerous industries and infrastructure projects. Plumbing systems for homes and commercial properties use copper fittings extensively, to ensure efficient water distribution and drainage, while in industrial settings copper fittings play an essential part in transporting fluids and gases between chemical plants, refineries and manufacturing facilities - not forgetting fire suppression systems, medical gas pipelines and renewable energy installations! Their versatility, reliability, durability make copper fittings indispensable components in modern plumbing and piping installations.

Manufacturing Process Of Copper Pipe Fittings

Forging

Forging

Making method of forged fittings,using forging machine bevels the pipe end or extension, reduce the outside diameter.

Rolling Wheel

Rolling Wheel

Butt weld fittings, putting the core in the pipe. Then pushing the external by roller and processing the rim.

Stamping

Stamping

Using tapered core to expand the pipe end to the required size and shape in the punching machine.

Bending

Bending

For making elbow and bend fittings. There are three commonly methods. One is stretching , another is stamping , the third is roller , there are 3-4 rollers.

Bulging

Bulging

A rubber is placed in the tube and the top with a punch compression, then the pipe is bulged forming; Another method is hydraulic bulging forming.
