Malleable fittings are made from malleable cast iron, which is a durable metal that can be easily shaped or bent without breaking. These fittings are commonly used in plumbing for connecting galvanized steel pipes, making them suitable for gas, water, or steam lines. Malleable fittings are designed to withstand high pressures, making them ideal for both residential and industrial applications. They include various types, such as elbows, tees, couplings, and reducers, which are threaded for easy installation. Proper installation and maintenance of malleable fittings ensure leak-proof connections and longevity in plumbing systems.
