Product Disclaimer

1. General Product Information Only

Product information on this website is provided for general B2B sourcing and product introduction. It is not engineering advice, installation guidance, construction design, safety certification, regulatory approval or a substitute for professional technical evaluation.

Buyers, engineers, contractors, installers and importers must independently confirm whether the selected fittings are suitable for the intended system, market, application, pressure, temperature, fluid, environment, standard, installation method and legal requirement.

2. Product Categories Covered

• Malleable iron elbows, tees, crosses, couplings, sockets, nipples, unions, caps, plugs, bushings and threaded adaptors.
• Plastic-lined pipe fittings, lined elbows, lined tees, lined couplings, lined unions and related corrosion-resistant fittings.
• Grooved couplings, grooved elbows, grooved tees, grooved crosses, reducers, mechanical tees, mechanical crosses, flange adaptors and related grooved products.
• Customized, OEM, private-label, galvanized, black, painted or specially packed products where confirmed in writing.

3. No Automatic Suitability Guarantee

No statement on this website should be interpreted as a guarantee that a product is suitable for any particular use, project, country, code, system, pressure, temperature, chemical medium, potable water application, gas application, fire protection system, drainage system, industrial process or construction project.

Suitability depends on many factors outside our control, including system design, installation quality, pipe material, thread compatibility, sealing method, pressure testing, corrosion environment, fluid chemistry, temperature changes, local standards, maintenance and end-user operation.

4. Standards, Threads and Specifications

References to BSPT, NPT, DN sizes, inch sizes, galvanized finish, black finish, plastic lining, grooved connection, OEM packing or other specifications are descriptive unless expressly confirmed in a written order document. The buyer must specify the required standard, thread type, size range, finish, packing, inspection requirement and destination compliance requirement before order confirmation.

If the buyer requires a specific standard, certificate, test report, country approval, drinking water approval, fire protection approval, gas-use approval, chemical compatibility confirmation or project-specific acceptance document, this must be stated before quotation and confirmed in writing.

5. Images, Photos and Catalog Content

Product images, factory photos, warehouse images, packaging photos and catalog graphics are for reference only. Actual products may differ in surface texture, color, coating brightness, casting marks, machining marks, batch marks, dimensions, packaging, labels, cartons, pallets and accessories.

Photos do not replace approved samples, drawings, written specifications or inspection documents. Where appearance is important, buyers should request sample confirmation before bulk production.

6. Dimensions, Tolerances and Batch Differences

Cast and machined products may have normal manufacturing tolerances. Dimensions, weight, thread depth, coating thickness, surface appearance, marking position and packaging details may vary within accepted commercial or agreed technical tolerances.

Any strict tolerance, weight, coating thickness, pressure rating, thread gauge, inspection method or test requirement must be agreed in writing before production.

7. Installation, Testing and Maintenance

Installation must be carried out by qualified professionals using appropriate tools, compatible pipes, correct thread sealing methods, proper torque, system pressure testing and applicable local codes. Improper installation, over-tightening, incompatible thread types, unsuitable sealant, inadequate support, excessive vibration, corrosion, freezing, impact, misuse or lack of maintenance may cause leakage, failure or damage.

We are not responsible for losses caused by improper selection, installation, testing, operation, storage, handling, modification, maintenance or use by the buyer, installer, contractor or end user.

8. Special Applications

Products intended for potable water, gas, fire protection, steam, chemicals, compressed air, high pressure, high temperature, corrosive media, underground installation, marine environment or safety-critical systems require special evaluation and written confirmation. Do not rely on general website descriptions for such uses.

If a product is used in a regulated or safety-critical application without written confirmation of applicable requirements, the buyer assumes responsibility for suitability, compliance and risk.

9. Surface Finish, Corrosion and Storage

Black, galvanized, painted, plastic-lined or other surface treatments may reduce corrosion risk under suitable conditions but do not eliminate corrosion in all environments. Corrosion performance depends on storage, humidity, water chemistry, temperature, salinity, chemicals, handling damage, coating condition, installation environment and maintenance.

Products should be stored in a dry, ventilated and protected environment before installation. Damage caused by improper storage, moisture exposure, chemical exposure, seawater exposure, long outdoor storage, poor handling or delayed installation is not covered unless expressly agreed in writing.

10. Certificates, Test Reports and Inspection Records

Certificates, inspection reports, test reports, photos and quality documents apply only to the stated batch, sample, product, order, test condition, date and issuing party. They should not be treated as universal certification for all products, all batches, all countries or all applications.

Third-party inspection, factory audit, pre-shipment inspection, loading supervision or special testing must be requested and agreed before production or shipment.

11. Packing, Shipping and Transit Risk

Packing options may include cartons, woven bags, pallets, OEM labels or other agreed methods. Packing must be confirmed in writing according to product type, order quantity, shipping method, destination, handling conditions and buyer requirements.

Risk transfer, freight responsibility, insurance responsibility, customs clearance responsibility, import duty and tax responsibility shall be governed by the agreed Incoterms rule and written order documents. Website statements about delivery are general and do not determine risk transfer unless incorporated into the order terms.

12. Claims and Quality Issues

Any product shortage, visible damage, wrong item, packaging damage, specification dispute or quality issue should be reported promptly after receipt, with clear photos, videos, labels, batch information, packing list, invoice, inspection records and a written description of the issue.

Products should not be installed, modified, resold or used after a suspected defect is found unless both parties agree on the inspection and handling method. Failure to preserve evidence may affect claim handling.

13. Exclusion for Misuse and Unauthorized Changes

We are not responsible for product failure or loss caused by unauthorized modification, cutting, welding, re-machining, re-coating, relabeling, improper storage, mixed batch handling, incorrect installation, wrong thread matching, incompatible pipe systems, abnormal pressure, impact, freezing, chemical attack, overloading or use outside agreed specifications.

14. No Extended Warranty Unless Written

No employee, salesperson, website text, product image, message or informal communication creates an extended warranty, performance guarantee, country compliance guarantee, project approval or indemnity unless expressly stated in a written contract or warranty document signed or accepted by the authorized party.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our liability for product-related claims shall be limited to the remedies expressly agreed in the relevant sales contract, pro forma invoice, warranty document or applicable law. We shall not be liable for indirect losses, project delay, installation costs, removal costs, replacement labor, business interruption, loss of profit, loss of goodwill or consequential damages unless such liability cannot be excluded by law.

16. Written Order Documents Control

The final product requirements are determined by the accepted written order documents, including quotation, pro forma invoice, purchase order, contract, confirmed sample, technical sheet, quality agreement and inspection requirement. If website content conflicts with a written order document, the written order document controls for that transaction.

17. Contact for Technical Confirmation

Before placing an order, buyers should send complete RFQ information, including product name, size, thread type, standard, finish, quantity, application, destination country, packing requirement, certificate requirement and inspection requirement. Contact: l80436973@gmail.com.
