Bonney Forge

In 1943 when Bonney Forge pioneered the "Shape of Reinforcement" for branch connections, who would have thought it would fast become a recognized industry standard. Today, Bonney Forge Branch Connections offer complete run pipe reinforcement while avoiding cracks, fillet welds, and sharp re-entrant corner reinforcement tapering at the sides, thus preventing abrupt changes in thickness where the fitting joins the header pipe.

All Bonney Forge forgings are inspected before leaving the factory, undergoing three separate quality control systems: one for material control, one for manufacturing and one for design control. Branch Connection forgings also undergo frequent checks against mill documents during the manufacturing process to assure the highest compliance with ANSI and ASTM specifications. Plus, comprehensive record keeping of every fitting from initial forging bar through forging, heat treatment, machining, storage and shipment means every fitting is traceable to the exact material and process used in its manufacture.
