WELD FITTINGS
A weld fitting is a part that is butt welded into a piping system for changing direction, branching, or a change of pipe diameter. Weld fittings increase piping efficiency because all inner walls and surfaces are uniformly smooth, permitting a free, unhampered, low maintenance flow throughout the system.

FORGED STEEL
A forged fitting is a part used in a piping system for changing direction, branching, or for change of pipe diameter. They are used mostly for smaller diameter piping systems, typically 2" and below, though fittings for larger diameters are available. Most come in both threaded and socket weld varieties.

ACCESSORIES
iValco.com offers a variety of industrial piping accessories. Seamless pipe nipples are used to connect threaded and socket weld fittings together. Swage nipples are reducers mainly used in small diameter piping. Bull plugs are used to cap the end of a pipe section to prevent dust and moisture from entering an unfinished pipeline, but can also be used as an isolation device. Many other PVF accessories are stocked.
