Low-Pressure Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings with Sealant
To prevent leaks in low-pressure lines, the male threads on these fittings have an acrylic sealant already applied for extra protection. Also known as Pressure Class 125 or 150 fittings. Made of either iron or steel, they’re best in noncorrosive environments. Even with sealant, threaded connections can be taken apart for maintenance and repair.

- For Use With: Air, Diesel Fuel, Gasoline, Natural Gas, Oil, Water
- Pressure Class: 150
- Specifications Met: See table
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 Iron and Steel

FM-Approved Low-Pressure Cast Iron Threaded Pipe Fittings
Suitable for use in fire-protection applications, these pipe fittings are made of cast iron, so they are brittle and can be quickly opened with the strike of a sledge hammer. They are also known as Pressure Class 125 fittings. Use in noncorrosive environments.

- For Use With: Air, Steam, Oil, Water, Natural Gas
- Pressure Class: 125
- Specifications Met: FM Approved, UL Listed, ASTM A126, ASME B1.20.1, ASME B16.4
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 steel
