About Galvanized Schedule 80 Pipe Fittings

Schedule 80 galvanized fittings are components used in plumbing and gas systems made from galvanized steel, designed to withstand higher pressures compared to fittings with a lower schedule, such as Schedule 40.

The term "Schedule 80" refers to a specific wall thickness and pressure rating for pipes and fittings. Schedule 80 fittings are built with thicker walls, making them more durable and capable of withstanding higher pressure applications. They are typically used in situations where increased strength and resistance to high-pressure systems are required.

Similar to Schedule 40 galvanized fittings, Schedule 80 galvanized fittings are coated with a layer of zinc to protect against corrosion. These fittings, which include elbows, tees, couplings, unions, caps, nipples, and crosses, are specifically designed to connect and join sections of galvanized steel pipes for plumbing or gas line systems.

Schedule 80 galvanized fittings are commonly used in industrial settings, chemical processing plants, high-pressure water lines, and areas where the system operates under elevated pressures or harsh conditions. Their thicker walls and robust construction make them suitable for applications demanding higher durability and pressure resistance.
