Tips for Proper Installation of Malleable Iron Fittings

Pick the Right Fittings

Before installation, make sure you've chosen the right MI fittings for the job at hand. To guarantee compatibility and correct performance within your plumbing system, consider variables such as pipe size, pressure rating, and fitting type.

 

Inspect Fittings for Damage

Before installation, thoroughly check all MI fittings for any evidence of damage, such as cracks, dents, or deformities. Fittings that are damaged shouldn't be utilized since they might compromise the system's integrity. To keep your plumbing system functional and leak-free, replace any damaged fittings.

 

Clean and prepare the pipes

Thoroughly clean and deburr the pipe ends to get rid of any dirt, debris, or jagged edges that might prevent a fitting from being installed correctly. To establish a tight and secure connection, cleanliness is crucial.
