What is Lead Fittings?

Lead fittings are plumbing components made from lead, a soft and malleable metal. They are used to join pipes, typically in older plumbing systems. Due to health concerns associated with lead exposure, lead fittings have largely been phased out in modern plumbing in favor of safer materials like copper or PVC.

Lead fittings are constructed from lead metal, an element well known for its exceptional corrosion resistance. Their longevity and resilience makes lead fittings suitable for environments exposed to moisture or other sources of corrosively such as plumbing systems or industrial applications, with reduced degradation over time.

Lead Pipe Fittings

Lead fittings stand out due to their excellent machinability, meaning they can easily be modified, shaped and modified without jeopardizing structural integrity or their integrity as an object. Furthermore, ease of machining enables for precise customization that facilitates seamless integration into various systems or applications.

Lead fittings exhibit superior weldability characteristics. This means they can be quickly joined through welding processes for secure connections that withstand pressure and environmental elements, providing flexibility when designing or assembling projects. Furthermore, lead fittings exhibit favorable weldability characteristics which further expand their versatility for construction or manufacturing projects requiring flexible design or assembly solutions.

Lead fittings find wide use across several industries and settings, from plumbing to chemical processing and automotive production. Their corrosion-resistance, machinability and weldability makes them suitable for environments in which durability and reliability are priority factors - from water distribution systems to industrial machinery they play an essential part in maintaining efficiency while prolonging longevity of performance.

Lead fittings are widely employed in industrial settings to transport liquids and gases that pose risks of corrosion or structural deterioration, providing reliable transport of various substances without risk of contamination or structural degradation. They're also frequently found used in automotive fuel lines and hydraulic systems due to their corrosion-resistance and machinability qualities - these features also come into play during medical equipment manufacturing where lead fittings may need to withstand chemical exposure.

Manufacturing Process Of Lead 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.
