🔹 Bothwell Butt‑Welding Fittings – Professional Overview

Definition: Bothwell fittings are forged or welded pipe components manufactured in Taiwan, designed to connect, branch, or change direction in pressurized piping systems. They are recognized for high dimensional accuracy, strict quality control, and compliance with international standards.

Application Areas

• Fire fighting systems – sprinkler and hydrant piping networks

• HVAC installations – chilled water and heating systems

• Petrochemical plants – handling high‑pressure fluids

• Shipbuilding and offshore construction – durable piping connections in harsh environments

Product Types

• Elbows (90°, 45°) – change pipe direction

• Tees – branch connections

• Reducers (concentric/eccentric) – transition between different pipe diameters

• Caps – pipe end closure

• Special fittings – custom designs for specific layouts

Advantages

• High dimensional accuracy – precise tolerances and wall thickness schedules

• Wide size range – from ½” to 48”

• Durable materials – carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel

• Compliance with global standards – ANSI, DIN, JIS

• Superior mechanical properties – corrosion resistance and pressure fatigue strength

• Trusted brand – Bothwell is well‑established in Asia and MENA markets

📊 Technical Specifications

Certifications

• Produced under ISO 9001 quality management system

• Manufactured to ANSI/DIN/JIS dimensional standards

• Generally not UL/FM certified by default, so for strict fire protection projects (sprinklers/hydrants) consultants may require UL/FM brands like SHIELD or Benkan

⚠️ Key note: Bothwell fittings are considered high‑precision industrial fittings. They are widely used in Egypt and MENA for HVAC and industrial projects, and often accepted in fire fighting systems where UL/FM certification is not mandatory.
