Product Questions & Answers (3)

Question by: Darryl A on Mar 4, 2026, 9:06 PM
What kind of corrosion protection does this fitting actually have on it? Running equipment outside year-round and rust has killed more than a few fittings on us.
Answer by: Customer Support on Mar 6, 2026, 11:52 AM
Dura-Kote plating is what sets it apart on that front. It's a surface treatment Eaton Weatherhead puts on the WeatherGRIP Z series specifically to hold up against corrosion, which makes it a solid pick when fittings are exposed to the elements or tough shop conditions on a regular basis. The carbon steel base is durable, and that plating is what keeps surface degradation from cutting the service life short.
