How can you tell if a pipe fitting is cast iron or malleable?
To distinguish between cast iron and malleable iron pipe fittings, look for surface characteristics and markings. Cast iron fittings typically have a rougher, more brittle surface and may show signs of rust or corrosion, while malleable iron has a smoother finish and is more ductile. Additionally, malleable fittings are often marked with "M" or “Malleable” to indicate their type, while cast iron fittings may lack such markings. A simple test involves tapping the fitting; cast iron produces a dull thud, whereas malleable iron has a sharper sound.

What are the differences between NPT and IPS fittings, and which one is more suitable for my specific plumbing project?
NPT (National Pipe Thread) and IPS (Iron Pipe Size) fittings differ in their thread design and compatibility. NPT fittings have tapered threads, while IPS fittings have straight threads. NPT fittings are commonly used for general plumbing applications, while IPS fittings are typically used for larger diameter pipes. To determine which is more suitable for your specific project, consider the pipe size and application requirements.
