A 1″ GI Socket is a pipe fitting used to connect two pieces of galvanized iron (GI) pipe with the same diameter (1 inch). It is typically used in plumbing, industrial, or irrigation systems and is designed to offer a secure, leak-proof connection between two pipes by threading them into each end of the socket.
Key Features:
✅ Size: 1 inch (nominal bore)
✅ Material: Galvanized Iron (GI) – Provides strength and durability, coated with zinc for corrosion resistance
✅ Thread Type: BSP (British Standard Pipe) or NPT (National Pipe Thread) – For threaded connections that ensure a tight seal
✅ Connection Type: Socket – A fitting that connects two pipes by inserting and threading them into the socket ends
✅ Coating: Hot-dip galvanized coating to prevent rust and corrosion
✅ Applications:
-
Water and gas pipelines
-
Plumbing systems
-
Irrigation and agricultural systems
-
Industrial and chemical fluid transport
✅ Performance & Durability: -
Corrosion-resistant for long-lasting performance in both indoor and outdoor applications
-
Pressure-resistant for various applications, including water and gas systems
-
Leak-proof connections when threaded properly
