Why Carbon Steel Press Fittings Outshine Galvanized Steel

The Best Materials for Your Construction or Industrial Application  

The competition to your project will often come down to carbon steel press fittings VS galvanized fittings. At CHNCON, we think that Carbon Steel Press Fittings offer a variety of advantages. Let’s take a look at why carbon steel press fitting are in a league of their own compared to their galvanized rivals.  

Carbon Steel Press Fittings Have Higher Strength and Are More Corrosion Resistant Than Galvanized Steel Press Fittings  

CHNCON carbon steel press fittings are robust. They are more rust-resistant than galvanized steel, which may wear out more quickly. This establishes the fact that carbon steel will serve you better in projects that involve fittings that should serve you for long without getting damaged, weak or needing replacement.  

Unlike the galvanized steel fittings that must either be fully welded or properly thread connected prospect, press on fittings save time and monetary resources with the press tool installation. 

It's A Very Simple Install with CHNCON Carbon Steel Press Fittings 

You don’t have to weld or thread them as you do galvanized steel. One press tool and you’re set. This is a huge time and labor saver, which helps your project run much faster and eliminates labor costs. 

And though you’ll likely be able to get away with a lower price point on the galvanized steel fittings, the carbon steel press fittings are a better investment in the long run because of its longevity and minimal maintenance cost. 

While galvanized steel may appear to be a better deal at the time, the CHNCON galvanized carbon steel press fitting will be a wiser, money-saving choice in the long run. They have a longer life span and don’t require as much maintenance, so you save money down the road. 

Press Schedule 2 carbon steel piping can be used in various applications 

Including chilled water, compressed air, domestic water, heating water, and water up to 20°F. CHNCON’s press fittings in carbon steel are super flexible. You can apply them in a wide range of systems from heating, fire safety and plumbing. That’s not always true with galvanized steel, which is less versatile in what it can accomplish. 

Featuring higher pressure ratings and a better flow profile, carbon steel press fit pipes offer better performance than galvanized fittings and are used in a variety of industrial and commercial environments. 

Our carbon steel press fittings are stronger and more resistant to pressure than ductile iron and are easier to transport than galvanized steel. That also means they are better working and more reliable for other types of industrial and commercial jobs.
