Introduction to Ductile Iron Pipe Fittings: Elbows and Tees

Ductile iron pipe fittings are essential components in modern piping systems, offering high strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Among the most common fittings are elbows and tees.

Elbows are used to change the direction of pipelines, typically available in 45° and 90° angles. Their robust design ensures minimal pressure loss and long-term reliability, making them ideal for water, wastewater, and industrial applications.

Tees serve as branch connections, allowing fluid flow to be split or combined at 90°. They feature equal or reducing diameters to accommodate various pipe sizes. Ductile iron tees provide excellent structural integrity, even under high-pressure conditions.

Both fittings are manufactured with precision to ensure leak-free performance and are often lined with cement or epoxy for enhanced corrosion protection. Their versatility and cost-effectiveness make them preferred choices for infrastructure projects worldwide.
