Hot-Dip Galvanized vs Electro-Galvanized Pipe Fittings: What’s the Difference?
Galvanized pipe fittings are widely used in water supply, fire protection, construction, and industrial piping because the zinc coating helps protect steel from corrosion. However, not all galvanized fittings are manufactured in the same way. The two most common galvanizing methods are hot-dip galvanizing and electro-galvanizing. While both create a protective zinc layer, they differ […]
