Chrome Fittings

Chrome pipe fittings create a framework for fire control systems to deliver water or chemical agents that safeguard against flame spread. The material withstands high temperatures and offers excellent corrosion resistance for peace of mind. With a wide inventory of solutions available, National Fire Supply makes building and maintaining your system easy.

FAQs: Chrome Fittings for Fire Protection Equipment

Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive about our selection of chrome fittings.

Why Choose Chrome Fittings Over Standard Fittings?

The main reason you’d choose chrome fittings over standard fittings is their aesthetic appeal. Unlike plain brass or black steel, chrome provides a polished, modern appearance that can elevate a room with exposed sprinkler pipes.

Chrome fittings are also heat- and corrosion-resistant, making them a better choice for fire protection equipment than standard fittings. Standard fittings are more likely to warp, crack or even melt in a fire, which can jeopardize the entire system’s functionality and put building occupants at risk.

Are Chrome Fittings Compatible With All Fire Sprinkler Systems?

While chrome fittings are compatible with most NFPA 13-compliant fire sprinkler systems, they are not compatible with all systems. While the chromium coating makes them corrosion-resistant, they are generally unsuitable for especially harsh or highly corrosive environments like industrial facilities.

The types of piping your system uses can also affect whether a chrome fitting is appropriate for your application. For more information on product compatibility, please contact our team.

Can Chrome Fittings Be Used in Wet and Dry Systems?

Yes, chrome fittings can be used in wet and dry systems as long as they are UL/FM listed for fire protection use. Contact our experts to inquire about the UL/FM listing status of any of our products.

What Sizes and Types of Chrome Fittings Are Available?

Several types of 3/8 inch chrome fittings are available from National Fire Supply:

• Elbows
• Couplings
• Tees
• Union connectors
• Close nipples

We also carry a wide variety of chrome nipples with diameters ranging from 1.5 inches to 6 inches.

Do Chrome Fittings Meet Fire Code Requirements?

Yes, UL/FM listed chrome fittings meet fire code requirements. NFPA 13, the main code that applies to sprinkler systems, explains all relevant requirements for UL/FM listed sprinkler system hardware of any finish in Chapter 7. Contact us for more information on how our products adhere to fire code regulations.
