Q & A

To remove a ductile iron pipe fitting that is stuck in a pipeline, there are a few steps that can be followed. Firstly, it is important to determine the cause of the fitting being stuck, which could be due to corrosion, debris, or a tight fit. One approach is to apply a penetrating lubricant to the area where the fitting is stuck and let it sit for a few hours or overnight to loosen the grip. Next, using a pipe wrench or a strap wrench, attempt to turn the fitting counterclockwise to loosen it. If this does not work, heat can be applied to the fitting using a torch to expand the metal and break the seal. However, caution must be exercised to avoid damaging the pipeline or causing a fire hazard. In extreme cases, a hydraulic or mechanical pipe puller may be needed to provide additional force to remove the fitting. It is advisable to consult with a professional plumber or pipefitter for guidance and to ensure safety during the removal process.

Yes, ductile iron pipe fittings can be used for irrigation pivots. Ductile iron is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for various applications, including irrigation systems. These pipe fittings can effectively handle the high-pressure demands of irrigation pivots and provide reliable performance over time.

There are three main types of flanged connections used with ductile iron pipe fittings: threaded flange connections, slip-on flange connections, and weld-neck flange connections.

Ductile iron pipe fittings are manufactured through a process called casting. In this process, molten ductile iron is poured into molds in the desired shape of the fitting. The iron then cools and solidifies, forming a solid piece. Afterward, the fitting goes through a series of machining processes to achieve the required dimensions and surface finish. Finally, the fittings are tested for quality and then prepared for distribution.
