How to Choose the Right Threaded Fittings for Your Market?

Why “Market Fit” Matters in Choosing Threaded Fittings

Selecting threaded plumbing fittings isn’t just about size and shape—it’s about choosing the right specifications for local regulations, operating conditions, and customer expectations.

From Bolivia’s high-altitude water systems to Brazil’s strict fire protection codes, each market has unique requirements. Understanding these differences ensures your fittings perform reliably and your business stays competitive.

JIANZHI helps distributors, contractors, and project managers across Latin America make confident, market-ready choices.

Understand Local Standards and Certifications

Different markets require different compliance marks:

◆ FM and UL certifications – widely required for fire protection systems in commercial and industrial projects across Latin America

◆ ISO standards – general manufacturing and quality benchmarks

◆ Local plumbing codes – may dictate thread type (NPT or BSP), materials, and pressure ratings

Tip: Always confirm your fittings meet the minimum pressure rating and certification requirements before importing or installing.

Match Pressure Rating to Application

The pressure rating determines whether a fitting can handle the operational demands:

Application Type	Recommended Pressure Rating	Example Use Case
Residential	150 – 300 PSI	Water supply, home gas lines
Commercial	300 – 600 PSI	Fire sprinklers, HVAC lines
Industrial	600+ PSI	Steam, oil & gas, chemical pipelines

JIANZHI offers a full range of heavy-duty plumbing fittings engineered for high PSI demands, ensuring long-term performance in challenging conditions.

Consider Environmental Conditions

Factors such as altitude, temperature, humidity, and fluid type affect fitting performance.

▶ Coastal areas → corrosion-resistant coatings to withstand salt exposure

▶ High-temperature lines → materials with excellent thermal stability

▶ Chemical pipelines → specialized alloys or lined fittings

Our engineering team can recommend optimal material and coating combinations for your local climate and industry.

Evaluate Weight, Wall Thickness, and Durability

Heavier fittings often indicate more material and higher strength, but weight must be balanced with usability.

☑ Thicker walls = better pressure resistance

☑ Precision threads = reduced leak risk

☑ Consistent casting quality = longer service life

JIANZHI fittings undergo strict dimensional and mechanical testing to ensure every unit meets design specifications.
