Fit Piping System for Steel Pipe

The FIT (Fast Installation Technique) line of products is designed specifically to join plain end steel pipe withoutthreading or welding (pipe ends must be properly cleaned). The unique locking lug secures pipe to the FIT fittings with just a quarter-turn. Gaskets, located in both ends of the fittings, seal as the pipe is inserted past them and sealing is enhanced by pressure in the line. Silicone gaskets are recommended for fire protection dry systems, all systems operating below 0°F (-17°C). Internal pipe stops provide a uniform take-out dimension. Marking of the pipe indicates correct insertion of the pipe to the stop. Visual locking indicator cast into the housing corresponds to lug markings for visual verification of the lug locked position. FIT products ate UL, ULC and FM rated for 175 PSI (1200 kPa) working pressure on Schedule 10/40 steel pipe.They are approved and listed for above ground fire protection systems, automatic sprinkler, open sprinkler and standpipe both wet and dry systems Electrogalvanized housings are available and recommended for special hazards, exposed locations and corrosive environments.
