Black and galvanised malleable iron fittings

Cast malleable iron pipe fittings to BS EN 10242:1995 as they’re currently known, have been manufactured for over a century but the first standard controlling the quality of these fittings was produced in 1922, in BS 143:1922. Like modern-day malleable iron pipe fittings stocked by ValvesTubesFittings.com, these were taper/taper threaded. Malleable iron pipe fittings have an overall standard to BS EN 10242:1995 which incorporates two standards those being BS 143 and BS 1256 which was first introduced in 1945 and is a taper/parallel fitting.
