• 1/2 to 12 NPS sizes.
• All common materials in lighter wall thickness’. Standard (Schedule 40) wall thickness is also available in most materials and sizes.
• Simple pipe end preparation - cut-off and deburring tools, only.
• Fast pipe end preparation - approximately 75% less labor time than a butt joint preparation.
• Matches B 1 6.9 fitting burst pressures.
• Exceeds B16.9 fitting fatigue performance in sizes less than 6" IPS (Even when B16.9 fitting buttweld is 100%).
• Rated for 100% joint efficiency in fatigue calculations without radiographic verification. Compare to B16.9 fitting butt weld efficiencies of 60% for partial penetration procedures and 80% for full penetration procedures without radiographic verification.
• Better welding attributes than any other welding fitting design. - Fillet weld geometry can be visually verified for size and quality.
  - Quality fillet welds more easily attained than quality buttwelds.
  - Nearly equal pipe and fitting wall thickness’ provides good thermal mass matching.

• Light weight fittings - approximately the same as other cold formed fittings, lighter than cast fittings and much lighter than forged fittings.
• Lower fluid pressure line losses compared to cast fittings, much lower compared to forged fittings.
• No rework as a result of porosity or "tramp" elements, as in castings.
• Lower inventory costs because reducing fittings can be site-made from reducing components.
• Easy to clean. Recommended for clean systems with particle count standards including fuel, lubricating oil and hydraulic oil systems. Recommended for potable water. Not recommended for food and beverage services where bacteriological standards apply to products which can spoil.
