First, a definition of “take off”: The length of pipe to be removed (taken off) such that a pipe and a fitting make a specific length. The term is a concept shorthand used by pipefitters and plumbers. This is not the same as a material takeoff, which is a list of all materials needed for a project.
How much length do iron pipe fittings add?
The distance between the fittings and the extra reach must be included in the length. If you are using 1/2 inch pipe, add 7/16 inch per end and 1/2 inch per end.
How is fitting allowance calculated?
An accurate dimension from the end of the nipple to the centre of the outlet is then measured. This is repeated for each of the nipples. The difference between the end-to-end measurement and the end-to-centre (of the 90) measurement is the fitting allowance.
What is the outside diameter of 1/2 inch black iron pipe?
SCH 40 Bare & Black Standard Steel Pipe

How many threads per inch are there on the threaded portion of 1 inch iron pipe?
TPI, or pitch, is the number of threads per inch for each thread size. There are 14 threads per inch for the3/4” NPT pipe thread.
What is the OD size of cast iron pipe?
Cast iron. Cast-iron soil pipe in residential DWV systems is usually 3-inch or 4-inch nominal size. Pipe OD measures about 3/8 inch larger than the nominal size. Plastic and steel. Plastic and steel pipe with the same nominal size have the same OD. Convert OD measurements to nominal size with the following table.
How do you attach fittings to cast iron pipe?
Fittings for steel pipe screw onto tapered external threads on the end of the pipe. The taper jams the threads together to prevent leaks. Cast-iron pipe may have straight ends that take clamp-on fittings — called hubless pipe — or one straight end and a belled end to fit over another pipe’s straight end — called hub and spigot pipe.
What are the different standards for malleable iron fittings?
• 3 •. STANDARDS. CCTF MALLEABLE IRON FITTINGS are designed to conform with the following industry standards: MATERIAL: ASTM A 197 Cupola Malleable Iron ASTM A 153 Zinc Coatings DIMENSIONS: ANSI/ASME B 16.3 Malleable Iron Threaded Fittings ASME B 16.14 Ferrous Pipe Plugs, Bushings, etc.
Why choose Ward pipe Fitts?
During the next decade Ward continued to grow in size and stature and became an increasingly important factor in the American pipe fittings industry. Further expansion was completed in 1938 with the addition of a facility to produce malleable iron pipe unions.
