ASTM A-120 GALVANIZED CHILLED WATER PIPE
ASTM A-120 GALVANIZED CHILLED WATER PIPE
(OP)
Dear sirs:
I use to specify ASTM A53 Gr. A or B for chilled water pipes 3" diameter or mayor.
What kind of problems could be arise is ASTM A-120 theraded pipe is used in lieu of A-53 carbon steel, diameters 3" to 6"? 8"?
Thanks,
schola

Victaulic joints would be much easier.

I know of sources for 4" & 5" but those sources don't offer fittings in terms of Tees or Elbows.
I know of DWV much larger than that for scissor flange fit but its not pressure pipe.
I don't know of anything in 8" Tapered Thread. Finding a Die might be challenging....Turning it might be too.
I have seen (2) 6" Threaded CS for Potable exactly parallel to each other; we took them out (with a torch and saws) and replaced with 10" SS-316 Sch 10 due to decay and weight considerations...

Anything over 1 1/2" (I think) is usually welded here (UK). ABS is commonly used now for chilled water systems.

I don't know about Victraulic with Galvanized Pipe. I haven't tried this, but if you cut the grooves for the Victraulic it would remove the galvanizing and if you rolled them it would seem to flake off. Anyone done this before?
