Frequently Asked Questions

What are bronze couplings used for?

Bronze couplings are used to join pipes, valves and fittings in plumbing, HVAC, fire sprinklers and other systems that convey liquids.

What are the benefits of bronze couplings?

Bronze has excellent corrosion resistance for potable water and resistance to wear and deformation. Bronze couplings last longer than steel.

What types of bronze couplings are commonly used?

Common types include bronze union fittings, bronze threaded couplings, bronze flanged couplings, bronze compression couplings and bronze repair couplings.

What are some key bronze coupling styles?

Straight couplings, reducing couplings, 45 and 90 degree elbow couplings, tee couplings, hex couplings and ground joint union couplings.

Where are bronze pipe couplings used?

Bronze couplings have applications in residential and commercial plumbing, fire sprinkler systems, irrigation, pumps, valves, and HVAC systems.

What pipe and fitting materials do bronze couplings connect?

Bronze couplings are used to join pipes, valves and fittings made of copper, brass, bronze and sometimes steel, cast iron or PVC.

How are bronze couplings installed?

Bronze threaded and union couplings screw together. Flanged and compression couplings use gaskets and bolts or clamps for assembly.

How are bronze couplings sized?

Bronze pipe couplings are sized by the pipe inside diameter (ID) and by pipe thread size if threaded. Common sizes are 1/2 to 4 inches.

What standards apply to bronze pipe couplings?

Bronze couplings that meet ASTM B16 and AWWA C800 standards conform to plumbing and mechanical codes.

How do bronze couplings seal?

Bronze threaded pipe couplings use tapered threads. Compression couplings use gaskets. Unions and flanges create metal-to-metal seals.

What pressures and temperatures can bronze handle?

Bronze is suitable for pressures up to 300 psi and intermittent temperatures up to 250°F.

How do you take care of bronze couplings?

Apply thread sealant to bronze threaded couplings during installation. Avoid overtightening. Periodically inspect for leaks and signs of wear or damage.
