This AAP galvanised malleable iron socket is a hot dip galvanised fitting with BSP threads. It is supplied in 13 sizes, 1/8" (6mm) to 6" (150mm). A socket (also called a coupling) joins two male threaded pipes or fittings of the same size. It is threaded inside at both ends.

These fittings are made to EN 10242:1994, in blackheart malleable cast iron and delivered hot dip galvanised. 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. Recommended maximum working pressure is 1379 kPa for water and 1034 kPa for gas, steam and compressed air. Working pressures may also be limited by pressure piping codes or industry regulations.
