An unmachined cast body for a pipe fitting, the cast body includes a first body end and a second body end disposed opposite from the first body end, the cast body defining an axis extending from the first body end to the second body end, the cast body defining a midpoint between first body end and the second body end, a centerline of the cast body defined at the midpoint perpendicular to the axis, a first distance from the centerline to the first body end being equal to a second distance from the centerline to the second body end, an inner body surface defining a fitting bore extending through the cast body from the first body end to the second body end, and an outer body surface spaced from the inner body surface, the outer body surface defining a first frustoconical shape and a second frustoconical shape.

Malleable press fittings

A method of connecting a pipe to a cast fitting, the method can include casting a body including a first body end and a second body end disposed opposite from the first body end, wherein the body defines an axis extending from the first body end to the second body end, wherein the body includes a first neck disposed proximate to the first body end wherein the body further includes an inner body surface defining a bore extending through the body from the first body end to the second body end, and wherein the body further includes an outer body surface spaced from the inner body surface a predetermined wall thickness.

A cast body for a pipe fitting includes a first body end and a second body end disposed opposite from the first body end. The body defines an axis extending from the first body end to the second body end, an inner body surface defining a fitting bore that extends through the body, and an outer body surface spaced from the inner body surface at a predetermined wall thickness. At a first location on the axis, the inner body surface is a first distance and the outer body surface is a third distance from the axis, and at a second location on the axis that is proximate to the first body end, the inner body surface is a second distance from the axis that is greater than the first distance and the outer body surface is a fourth distance from the axis that is less than the third distance.
