What is Aluminum 1100 Alloy?

Aluminum 1100 is a commercially pure aluminum alloy with a minimum of 99% aluminum content. It gives excellent ductility, thermal and electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

When formability and corrosion protection are more critical than mechanical strength, Alloy 1100 is chosen to high-strength aluminum alloys.

Key Benefits of Alloy 1100 Fittings
  • Excellent corrosion resistance
  • Lightweight material
  • High thermal conductivity
  • Easy welding and fabrication
  • Good ductility and machinability
  • Smooth surface finish
  • Suitable for low-pressure applications

Types of ASTM B361 Aluminum 1100 Pipe Fittings

➤ ASTM B361 Aluminum 1100 Elbow with 45 or 90 Degrees

The elbow fitting is used to change the direction of flow in a piping system. We manufacture both long-radius and short-radius elbows in 45°, 90°, and 180° configurations.

Applications include:

  • Chemical transfer lines
  • HVAC systems
  • Food-grade piping
  • Water distribution systems

➤ Aluminum 1100 Pipe Tee

An Aluminum 1100 pipe tee is designed to combine or divide fluid flow. Equal tees and reducing tees are available in seamless and welded constructions.

Features:
  • Leak-proof performance
  • Easy installation
  • Corrosion-resistant surface
  • Accurate dimensions

➤ Alloy 1100 Concentric Reducer

The Alloy 1100 concentric reducer connects pipes of different diameters with a similar centerline. These reducers are utilized extensively in process pipework and industrial fluid systems.

Advantages:
  • Smooth flow transition
  • Reduced turbulence
  • Long service life
  • Dimensional accuracy

➤ Alloy 1100 Butt Weld Fittings

Our Alloy 1100 butt weld fittings are manufactured for strong, permanent, and leak-free connections. These fittings are ideal for systems requiring smooth flow characteristics and structural integrity.

Available products:
  • Elbows
  • Tees
  • Reducers
  • Stub Ends
  • Pipe Caps
  • Crosses
