What is the difference between butt pipe fittings and chuck pipe fittings?
Although the terminology might sound similar, the process for fitting a butt pipe is quite different from what goes on for chucking a chuck pipe. For example, in the fitting of a butt pipe, a pilot hole is drilled into the bottom of the pipe. Then a flame from a torch is used to heat the sand that is used to create the bond between the pipe and the fitting. When the sand vaporizes, it creates an air pocket inside the pipe. This pocket of air is then vented out through the fitting. Then the pipe is put back in the rack, and the remaining sand is poured into the bottom of the pipe. This process is much more intricate and time-consuming for a larger company to fit and finish than for a small company, which means that the finished product from a large company will probably be inferior to a small one.
What is the difference between a flange and a flange fitting?
A flange is a seamed fitting with a concave face, usually made of cast iron. A flanged fitting is intended to recess against a surface, usually a railing. A flange-type fitting is usually used when the join between two parts is not obvious, or when there is a need to reduce the appearance of iron-on joints. A flanged fitting is much simpler to fit than a flange. A flanged fitting is usually made of a material other than iron. However, in rare cases, when the iron is necessary, then a flange may be made of iron.
