DIX Engineering's Cast Iron Fittings are built tough to last.
Cast fittings are made in the DIX foundry from T200 grade cast iron, and bitumen dipped for the longest possible life span.
The casting process involves heating the metal until it becomes liquid, after which it is then poured into moulds to achieve the required shape. After casting, the parts may then be machined and heat treated to achieve dimensional and strength characteristics.
DIX Engineering supplies cast iron for specific applications. Our capacity ranges from mould size up to 100kgs. We also provide an in-house pattern and core making service.
DIX Engineering can assist with the products listed below:
• Fittings to suit PE, PVC, CI and AC pipe
• Bitumen coated – can be powder or epoxy coated on request to suit specific requirements. This process ensures cast fittings are corrosion resistant and improves thread sealing
• Tapping saddles – 304 and 316 stainless steel straps available
• Rubber seals manufactured to AS1646 ‘elastomeric seals for waterworks purposes. Saddle and seal are curved to match the pipe diameter. Distributes load evenly and supports pipe
• Rated to match original pipe specifications
• Made to order fabrications of fittings available.
Our complete product range includes tapping saddles, weld on spigots, gibaults, flanges and air release valves.
