These materials are durable, resistant to corrosion, and able to withstand high temperatures and pressures. Brass is the most commonly used material due to its strength and resistance to corrosion, which is essential in both heating and water supply systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize and Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS22\u003c\/strong\u003e refers to the \u003cstrong\u003e22mm pipe size\u003c\/strong\u003e. The fitting is designed to connect to \u003cstrong\u003e22mm pipes\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is a standard size in many heating and plumbing systems (e.g., domestic water supply and central heating).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3\/4F\u003c\/strong\u003e refers to a \u003cstrong\u003e3\/4-inch female threaded connection\u003c\/strong\u003e.
