Apart from its inherently good looking colour, the Copper Fittings are used almost exclusively for plumbing applications due to its superior corrosion resistance properties, good machinability in addition to a high level of heat transfer.
As water infrastructure is used across any area ages, there are changes noted in the quality of water, changes in water treatment practices as well as in water infrastructure maintenance. These changes pose increasingly difficult challenges on municipalities, water suppliers, and residents. Copper is the only material that is well suited to be used for service line piping systems. The material used to make Copper Plumbing Fittings has a proven history of reliability, safety, longevity, and life-cycle cost effectiveness. These are properties present in the Copper Pipe Fittings are required to meet the challenges required in these infrastructure decisions.
Copper is a material that offers many attractive properties to its users.

Along with being used in plumbing systems, the Buttweld Copper Pipe End Fittings is used in the chemical, oil, process based and marine industries. A compression fitting is a component that could be used in plumbing or in electrical conduit systems in order to join two tubes or two thin walled pipes together. A benefit of using these Copper Compression Fittings is that they permit ease in both disconnection and reconnection of the piping system.
Grooved pipe fitting are typically used to forge connections in both wet and dry piping systems. Referred to mostly as Victaulic style pipe fitting, the Forged Copper Grooved Fittings offer some form of flexibility in terms of movement as well as some deflection to the piping system.
