subject: Quality Endfeed Fittings For Your Gas Equipment [print this page] Endfeed Fittings are a crucial part of almost any type of gas fed system and, like many other parts of the system, may come in contact with the volatile fuel and must be of top quality to prevent any accidental leakage or failure that can cause damage to equipment or even injury to its users. In order to ensure that only high quality end feed fittings are used on your gas equipment, there are several techniques and practices that can be implemented.
Having a Reliable Parts Supplier
Almost all types of products have some kind of guarantee for safe use and durability. But, for those implements and parts that are as critical as those on gas equipment and systems, only the best should be used whenever practically possible. Endfeed fittings are not an exception to these rules. Like other products the quality of these fittings can often depend on the manufacturing skill and capabilities of the companies that made them. As such, only buying fittings from reliable manufacturers with good safety and production records as well as getting them from suppliers that are known for keeping authentic and guaranteed parts can be extremely helpful in creating safer overall systems for the gas equipment.
Importance of the Contractor
In such critical applications such as gas lines and equipment, only qualified and certified personnel should install entire systems as well as perform maintenance. This is especially important for gas equipment because a single point of failure can have disastrous effects on the rest of the system and may even cause an overall failure in the entire facility involved. Such due diligence is made even more important in the case of high quality endfeed fittings because they do not have their own supply of solder and, as such, will require a more experienced or highly trained technician during fitting.
Because of the critical nature of the systems involved in gas equipment, costs and prices are often better made secondary concerns to ensure that only the best parts are used by the best professionals during installation and repair. The due diligence that is applied during the initial phase of any work or installation quickly pays off as additional damage is avoided by making the whole system safer and maintenance costs are lowered because the parts and the system itself is less prone to breaking during and in between usage periods. Keep these things in mind when looking for endfeed fittings for your gas equipment and systems.
