Black Iron Socket

A type of threaded plumbing fitting made from malleable iron. It has a female threaded opening that allows it to be connected to a male threaded pipe or fitting. Black iron sockets are commonly used in various applications, including gas lines, water systems, and industrial settings. They provide a secure and leak-resistant connection for joining pipes and fittings together. The term "socket" refers to the female threaded portion of the fitting that receives the male threaded end of another component, creating a reliable and durable connection.
