Black Malleable Iron Pipe Fittings BS EN 10242:1995

Jinan Meide black malleable iron male to female elbow to BS EN 10242

Here at Besseges (Valves, Tubes & Fittings) Ltd we only offer our customers Kitemarked black malleable iron pipe fittings BS EN 10241:1995. The reason we do this is to be sure that when an installation is completed using our high-quality Jinan Meide fittings it will in the vast majority of works be leak-free. Why should this be the case over the cheaper versions of this product, the reason is simple we offer black malleable iron pipe fittings that are manufactured with BSP taper male and taper female threads. This ensures a better seal compared to BSP taper male x parallel female fittings which in the main do not carry any approvals or the Kitemark.

We realise the allure of a cheaper fitting but by the time you’ve spent longer applying a greater amount of jointing material what you saved initially is lost in the increased installation time. In addition, cheaper non-approved black malleable iron pipe fittings are more likely to leak than the BS EN 10242:1995 standard fittings meaning that a return visit to the site will replace or reseal and the existing joint will eat away at your profit margins and affect your reputation with your customer. Consider this if someone did an installation for you and it leaked would that business be the first one you’d contact for your next installation, probably not.
