What Are Fabricated Fittings and Their Uses?
Fabricated fittings are specialized pipe components manufactured by modifying standard pipes to meet specific requirements in plumbing and piping systems. They are manufactured from rigid uPVC pipes ensuring durability and reliability.
These fabricated fittings are designed for applications where customized angles, sizes, or configurations are needed, especially for large-diameter pipelines or unique layouts. Common types include elbows, couplers, and reducers, which allow for directional changes, pipe joining, or size transitions. Fabricated fittings are widely used in potable water supply systems, irrigation, and industrial piping, as they offer leak-proof joints, corrosion resistance, and long service life.
Their versatility and robust construction make them essential for efficiently managing complex piping networks while maintaining high performance and sustainability. In fact, fabricated fittings are not standard mass-produced components. Instead, they are carefully crafted to meet unique specifications, offering a tailored solution for complex piping systems.
The fabrication process involves cutting, shaping, and welding pipes to create specific fittings such as elbows, couplers, reducers, and tees.
Uses of Fabricated Fittings:
Fabricated fittings have multiple purposes in diverse industries due to their versatility. Some of their key applications are given below:
-
Potable Water Supply
Fabricated fittings are widely used in potable water systems to ensure the safe and hygienic distribution of water.
