FAQs

1. What’s the main difference between black steel and galvanized steel fittings in terms of corrosion resistance?

Black steel fittings are untreated and prone to rust when exposed to moisture, making them suitable for indoor, non-water applications like gas lines. Galvanized steel fittings, on the other hand, are coated with a layer of zinc to resist corrosion, making them ideal for water supply lines and outdoor use.

2. Can black and galvanized fittings be used interchangeably in plumbing systems?

Generally, no. Mixing black and galvanized fittings can lead to accelerated corrosion due to a process called galvanic reaction. It's best to use the same type of fittings throughout a system to prevent premature failure and ensure compatibility.

3. Are galvanized fittings safe for drinking water systems?

Galvanized fittings were once commonly used in potable water systems, but over time, the zinc coating can erode, leading to pipe scaling or potential lead contamination if older pipes were manufactured with trace lead. Modern alternatives like copper or PEX are typically preferred today for drinking water lines.

4. What applications are black steel fittings best suited for?

Black steel fittings are most suitable for low-pressure gas lines, fire sprinkler systems, and oil transport. They are strong, cost-effective, and work well in systems where corrosion is not a major concern.

5. Do galvanized fittings require special tools or sealants during installation?

Galvanized fittings can be installed with standard pipe wrenches, but it's important to use thread sealants or Teflon tape approved for metal pipes to prevent leaks and protect the threads from corrosion caused by trapped moisture.
