Bakersfield Pipe and Supply (BPS) products

Pipe coating, wrapping and cement lining for OD and ID.

This fitting design has a socket or recess for the pipe to slip into. A back weld is applied to hold the pipe in the fitting. Socket Weld fittings are formed by either the drop forge or upset forging method. They are forged solid and require complete maching. These fittings can be made of carbon, alloy, or stainless steel and in nickel alloys in 3000, 6000, and 9000 lb. ratings. The bore or waterway is machined to conform with Schedule 40, 160 and XXH pipe. They are available in the same shapes and sizes as Screwed Fittings including reducing insert bushings. Special bores may be purchased by agreement.

Bored to the ID of the pipe and has a high neck to which pipe is welded. Probably the best welding flange available because of its high, heavy neck. Usage: Wherever a sound welded joint connection is needed.

The socket weld flange is bored to the ID of the pipe and counter bored slightly larger than the OD of the pipe to allow the pipe to be inserted and welded in place. Usage: 4″ and smaller high pressure systems

These fittings are made in sizes 1/8″ through 4″ and in pressure ratings of 150 lb. (300 lbs. WOG), 300 lb. (1000 lbs. WOG), 2000, 3000, and 6000 lbs. The 150 lb. and 300 lb. fittings are made in cast material. The others are of forged material.
