Zinc fittings are components made from zinc alloy, commonly used in plumbing applications. They are durable, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective alternatives to brass or stainless steel fittings. Zinc fittings are often used for joining pipes, valves, and fixtures in residential and commercial plumbing systems. However, they may not be suitable for environments with high temperatures or exposure to certain chemicals.
Zinc fittings are composed of components manufactured with zinc alloy, usually consisting of zinc mixed with metals such as aluminum, copper and magnesium. Zinc fittings primary feature is corrosion resistance - ideal for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals or harsh environmental conditions that often have exposure. Their resistance against corrosion also ensures durability in various settings such as outdoor installations or industrial machinery.
Furthermore, zinc fittings are known for their machinability, meaning they can be easily shaped, drilled, and manipulated to meet specific requirements. This characteristic allows for precise customization and adaptation to different engineering needs, facilitating efficient manufacturing processes. Whether it's creating intricate designs or producing standardized components, the machinability of zinc fittings enhances versatility and ease of production.
Zinc fittings also boast exceptional weldability, making them easy to join seamlessly with other metal parts through welding techniques such as arc welding or spot welding. This characteristic enhances zinc fittings' flexibility during assembly processes by permitting their seamless join with complex structures or merging multiple components together as cohesive units, its use contributes to efficient manufacturing processes while offering strong, secure connections in various applications.
Zinc fittings find widespread application across industries due to their distinctive combination of properties. From automotive production and construction projects, to plumbing systems and HVAC units. Zinc fittings play an essential part in many applications requiring reliable corrosion-resistant components - from automotive manufacturing and assembly lines. With easy machining and welding processes ensuring reliable performance as well as versatility that make these components suitable for a range of uses ranging from plumbing systems, enclosures and HVAC units as well as automotive assemblies.
Zinc fittings have numerous applications in industrial settings. Their corrosion-resistance and durability is vital to long-term performance in systems like piping systems, conveyor belt mechanisms and hydraulic equipment. Zinc fittings also serve an electrical installation by offering junction boxes conduits fittings which protect wiring against environmental factors, in machinery/equipment manufacturing zinc fittings are integral in creating robust structures essential to operations.

Forging
Making method of forged fittings,using forging machine bevels the pipe end or extension, reduce the outside diameter.
Rolling Wheel
Butt weld fittings, putting the core in the pipe. Then pushing the external by roller and processing the rim.
Stamping
Using tapered core to expand the pipe end to the required size and shape in the punching machine.
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
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.
