Most orders ship within 7 to 15 days, and we usually have stock on common sizes like 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch, but larger diameters might need a quick lead time check — we don't always hold every size ready to go.
These are cast iron fittings, so they're heavy, and the suface can be black, galvanized, natural, or even brass-like depending on the finish you pick; the tensile strength hits at least 300 MPa, which is better than some cheaper alternatives for load-bearing shelves or pipe furniture.
threads are Class 2B accuracy with BSP or NPT options, and the working presure is rated at 1.6 MPa, but honestly, for DIY projects you're not pushing that limit — teh real win is the ±0.1mm dimensional tolerance that keeps joints snug without fighting alignment.
Salt spray testing goes 96 hours or so, so corrosion resisance is decent for indoor or covered outdoor use, though hot-dip galvanized holds up better than electrophoresis if you're expecting moisture — it's a trade-off you'll want to consider.
Samples are availble if you want to test fit before committing to a larger order, and the MOQ is just one piece, so you can basically grab a few to prototype your shelving or coat rack design without overcommitting.
What it does best is connect pipes cleanly for furniture or industrial piping, but it's not ideal for high-temp steam lines above 120°C or constant submersion — the cast iron will eventually pit if you push it that way.
No minimum — our MOQ is just 1 piece, so you can grab exactly what you need for a furniture build or shelving system without buying in bulk.
Lead time is 7 to 15 days from order confirmation, depending on the size and finish. For 2-inch galvanized with NPT, it usually lands around 10-12 days.
Yes, we can provide a mill test report covering the ≥300 MPa tensile strength and ≥96h salt spray test results. Just request it with your order.
Beaded ends have a raised ring for a tighter grip on pipes, great for high-pressure systems. Banded ends use a smooth band for a cleaner look in furniture or shelving. Both work with the same size range from 1/2" to 2".
Sure, samples are available — just pay shipping and we'll send one out. Turnaround is typically 3-5 days for sample prep and dispatch.
