Pipe bypass fitting 3/4" galvanized, Odlewnia Zawiercie model 7372, weight 0.381 kg

Galvanized 3/4" pipe bypass fitting by Odlewnia Zawiercie, model 7372, is a compact metal connector designed to create a branch or bypass on 3/4-inch pipelines. With a durable zinc coating and a mass of 0.381 kg, the fitting is intended for use in water supply, heating and general industrial pipe runs where a corrosion-resistant mechanical connection is required. The product is suitable for repair, extension or rerouting of existing metal piping systems and provides a simple method to add a lateral outlet without replacing entire pipe sections.

Advantages

The galvanized finish provides enhanced resistance to corrosion and environmental wear compared with untreated metal, extending the service life in wet or humid conditions. Its 3/4" size matches standard piping dimensions to ensure compatibility with common threaded metal pipes and fittings. The compact design and moderate weight make it easy to handle and install in confined spaces, while the robust construction supports reliable mechanical connection under typical domestic and light industrial operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Creating a branch or bypass on 3/4" metal pipelines
• Repairing or extending water supply and heating pipe runs
• Installing secondary outlets for irrigation or utility lines
• Temporary rerouting during maintenance or renovation

Key specifications

• Material: galvanized metal
• Nominal connection size: 3/4 inch
• Intended medium: water, heating circuits, general industrial fluids compatible with galvanized steel
• Weight: 0.381 kg
• Application: mechanical branch/bypass fitting for metal pipe systems

How to use

Shut off and drain the affected pipe section before installation. Prepare thread ends by cleaning and, if required, applying an appropriate thread sealing compound or tape compatible with galvanized metal and the conveyed medium. Thread the fitting onto the existing 3/4" pipe or mating fitting by hand, then tighten with suitable tools to achieve a secure leak-free connection without over-tightening, which can damage threads or the zinc coating. After installation, pressurize the system gradually and inspect for leaks at the threaded joints.

Usage recommendations

Use the fitting in systems where galvanized steel is compatible with the transported medium; avoid continuous exposure to highly acidic or strongly corrosive fluids. For potable water applications, confirm local regulations regarding the use of galvanized fittings. When installing in heating systems, ensure compatibility with system temperatures and consider additional corrosion protection if required.
