SMLSCO Casting Fitting Series
SMLSCO offers a complete range of cast stainless steel fittings to meet the needs of medium and low pressure applications. Our product line includes elbows and tees for changing direction, pipe clamps and unions for straight connections, pipe plugs and caps for pipe sealing, and pipe joints (Nipples) for connections. The complete product portfolio provides a one-stop, cost-effective procurement solution for your pipeline projects in the general and plumbing fields.

What is Reducing Coupling?
Reducing Coupling is a short pipe component used to connect two pipes of different diameters in a straight line. Its two ends are processed with internal threads of different sizes, which can achieve a smooth transition from a large pipe diameter to a small pipe diameter (or vice versa). This integrated design avoids the hassle of using multiple pipe fittings for combined diameter changes, not only saving installation space and costs, but also reducing a potential leakage point, making it a convenient and efficient choice for pipeline diameter changes.

What are Types of Fitting Connection?
There are three main connection methods for industrial pipe fittings. Threaded connection, this product is suitable for medium and low voltage systems, with the advantage of easy installation and disassembly. Socket welding is used for high-pressure, small-diameter pipelines, connected by fillet welds, with high strength. Butt welding is the direct welding of the end of a pipeline to form a continuous and integrated pipeline. It has the highest strength and is suitable for various critical and high demand pipeline systems.

Material Properties of CF8M/316
The use of CF8M/316 stainless steel material provides excellent corrosion resistance protection for the pipeline system. Compared to ordinary 304 material, 316 can more effectively resist the corrosion of chlorides and various industrial chemical media due to the addition of molybdenum element. For low-pressure systems with more complex operating environments or higher requirements for service life, choosing 316 material fittings means choosing lower long-term maintenance costs and higher operational safety.
