Question:

Water supply pipe is ductile iron, then it's fittings and valves and other parts must be ductile iron?

Water supply pipe is ductile iron, then it's fittings and valves and other parts must be ductile iron?

Answer:

Ductile iron pipe end rubber ring interface should belong to flexible connection. It should be the way to connect the clamps. Then, the valve is also connected to the card sleeve connection.
Valve parts and materials do not require the same pipe material, as long as it can meet the use requirements and cost-effective.
Not always。Valve material selection is mainly determined by the fluid medium.The medium can be divided into gas, liquid, corrosive gas, liquid and oil. According to different media, temperature, and pressure levels, choose different materials, plastic, cast iron, cast steel, stainless steel and so on.
The pipe material does not determine the valve material, the valve is generally based on several pressure temperature rating, medium condition and velocity, the valve must play a role as valve material, such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and so on,
