Steel plumbing pipe has a matte shot blasted appearance that is similar to the umber gray RAL7022 color, providing a uniform color that matches cast iron plumbing fittings.
The length includes both threads and is expressed in millimeters.
The tubes are shot-blasted in our workshop.
The tapered male threads (BSPT) do not screw in completely until 9 to 12mm when tightened by hand so that they lock into the female fitting.
