Product Details
The Merit 316 SS Schedule 10 Type A stub end MSS 1/2 butt-weld female fitting is designed for butt welding, which is the preferred method to join pipe connections. Butt weld fittings must have the same wall thickness and diameter as the pipe they connect, with both the pipe and fitting beveled to allow the ends to butt together, forming a groove to hold the weld filler. This fitting offers advantages including lower cost, reduced maintenance, and greater strength compared to threaded joints.
