1/8 in (6 mm) Galvanised Socket | LS06
Available
This AAP galvanised malleable iron socket is a hot dip galvanised fitting with BSP threads. It is supplied in 13 sizes, 1/8 in (6 mm) to 6 in (150 mm).
A socket (also called a coupling) joins two male threaded pipes or fittings of the same size. It is threaded inside at both ends.
AAP states that these fittings are made to EN 10242:1994 (manufacturer-stated), in blackheart malleable cast iron and delivered hot dip galvanised (manufacturer-stated). AAP states that each fitting is pressure tested to EN 10242 at a minimum hydrostatic pressure of 2068 kPa (equivalent to a minimum pneumatic pressure of 500 kPa) without leakage (manufacturer-stated). AAP recommends a maximum working pressure of 1379 kPa for water and 1034 kPa for gas, steam and compressed air (manufacturer-stated). Working pressures may also be limited by pressure piping codes or industry regulations, so confirm the pressure and temperature for your application with AIMS before you order.

Selecting the right option
Choose the size to match your pipework. These fittings are BSP threaded, so check that your pipe or fitting is BSP and not NPT before you order.
