Ward Manufacturing, Inc. Class 150 Malleable iron fittings are made with the most sophisticated metallurgical and processing controls available. Iron samples are continuously analyzed using spectroscopy to confirm the material quality. The final casting produced by this detailed attention to quality is a close-grained, high strength, non-porous iron. All Ward black and galvanized pipe fittings are air tested at 80 psig. This test is a part of a constant program to maintain the highest quality fittings available.

Ward Class 300 Malleable iron fittings are designed to handle higher pressure and more rugged service than our Class 150 fittings. For all its fittings, Ward starts with high quality iron and then accurately machines threads that comply with the precise standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Ward unions are made from closely grained, high tensile iron and produced under expert laboratory supervision. Modern methods of foundry practice and carefully supervised molding produce castings that are smooth and clean in every respect and free from imperfections.

Ward plugs and bushings are produced in both malleable iron and cast iron grades. The iron from which they care made is held to strict formula by careful chemical analysis and control.

Top beam clamps and “C” clamps are manufactured from malleable iron with hardened steel cup point set screws and lock nuts. The finish is either black or galvanized.

The manufacturing process for the Class 125 Cast iron fittings adheres to the same strict standard to assure superior quality. Tapping for these fittings is done on the most modern types of threading machines. All tapping is done to USA Standards for iron pipe threads. Straightness and correct depth of threads are assured through continuous capable inspection.

Precision machining and thread chamfering allows Ward flanged components to be easily installed. These fittings are designed to handle the tough service that flanged components normally experience.

Ward cast iron drainage fittings are designed especially for drainage systems using wrought pipe. The inside diameter of the fitting is the same as that of wrought pipe. These fittings are made with an interior shoulder so that when the joint is made, the end of the pipe practically meets the shoulder and forms a continuous surface providing smooth flow of the pipe contents.

Ward Manufacturing takes pride in providing its customers with the highest quality products.
