C153 Ductile Iron Compact Push-On Fittings are engineered for high-performance fluid conveyance systems, combining durability, ease of installation, and compliance with international standards. Designed for water supply, wastewater management, irrigation, and industrial applications, these fittings are a cornerstone of modern infrastructure projects.
Applications
C153 fittings are ideal for:
- Municipal Water Systems: Potable water distribution and transmission.
- Sewage and Drainage Networks: Corrosion-resistant performance in aggressive environments.
- Industrial Pipelines: Chemical processing, mining, and HVAC systems.
- Agricultural Irrigation: High-pressure tolerance for large-scale water delivery.
Pressure Ratings & Performance
- Working Pressure: Rated up to 350 psi (24 bar), suitable for high-demand systems.
- Surge Pressure Tolerance: Withstands transient pressures up to 550 psi (38 bar).
- Temperature Range: Operates reliably between -30°C to 80°C (-22°F to 176°F).
Compliance with International Standards
C153 fittings meet or exceed globally recognized certifications, ensuring compatibility and safety:
- Material Standards: ASTM A536 (ductile iron), ISO 2531, EN 545, and EN 598.
- Dimensional Compliance: ANSI/AWWA C153, ISO 8180, and BS EN 12842.
- Quality Assurance: Third-party tested for leak-proof performance and longevity.
Key Advantages
- Quick Installation: Push-on design eliminates welding or threading, reducing labor costs by 30–40%.
- Superior Sealing: EPDM rubber gaskets ensure a watertight seal even under ground movement.
- Corrosion Resistance: Cement-mortar or epoxy lining options protect against internal/external degradation.
- Longevity: 50+ year service life with minimal maintenance.
- Versatility: Compatible with ductile iron, PVC, and HDPE pipes via adapters.
Cost Efficiency & Pricing
- Competitive Pricing: 15–20% lower lifecycle costs compared to steel or HDPE alternatives.
- Bulk Order Discounts: Available for projects exceeding 1,000 units.
- Regional Variations: Prices range from 25–150 per unit, depending on size (3″ to 24″) and coating specifications.
