Frequently asked questions

What information is needed to quote ALFA Piping?

Standard, size/pressure class, jointing system, quantities/lengths, fittings list, delivery location, and any submittal/test requirements from the specification.

Can I substitute one pipe standard for another at the same nominal size?

Not without review. Dimensions, pressure classes, and test methods differ across standard families.
