Machined Fittings
Machined fittings (i.e.: flange adapters, stub ends, machined reducers, mj adapters, slip joint anchors, end caps, branch saddles) are normally fully pressure rated to SDR ordered unless otherwise specified.
Machined fittings are normally stocked in most SDR’s listed and can be remachined to a lesser wall thickness if needed.
Some fittings may require additional machining charges, please inquire for pricing information if remachining is necessary.
 
Fabricated Fittings
Fabricated mitered fittings (ie: elbows, line tees, line crosses and wyes) are generally rated at 80% of the pressure rating of the SDR of material that is used for the fitting (ie: a mitered fitting produced using SDR-11 160 psi material would be pressure rated for a working pressure of 128 psi).
Fully pressure rated mitered fabricated fittings will be constructed using the next size heavier SDR material available (ie: fittings rated for a SDR-11 160 psi working pressure rating would be manufactured using SDR-9 material).
Other fabricated fittings such as branch saddle tees, branch saddle wyes, fabricated concentric reducers and waterstops are normally pressure rated to the SDR ordered.
Fabricated fittings are stocked in most SDR’s listed.
Remachining ends of a fabricated fitting to a lesser SDR may require additional machining charges. Please inquire for pricing information if remachining of ends is necessary.
 
Molded Fittings
Molded fittings are stocked in most SDR’s listed and are normally fully pressure rated.
Remachining ends of molded fittings will require an additional charge. Please inquire for Quick Quote if remachining of ends is necessary.
 
Resale Items
Resale items (i.e.: back up rings, drive-in stiffeners, gland packs, transition fittings) are normally stocked only in most frequently used sizes and pressure ratings. More information regarding resale items may be obtained through our Customer Service Department.
