How to Identify and Measure Fittings
Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

Compact Extreme-Pressure Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
These fittings are strong enough to handle extreme pressures, yet small enough to fit into cramped spaces. They are galvanized and zinc-plated steel, which have better corrosion resistance than plain steel fittings. BSPP and metric male threads have either a gasket, or a gasket and washer, to prevent leaks.

Plastic Pipe Fittings for Oil
Made of corrosion-resistant plastic, these fittings won’t deteriorate when used in oil applications. They also have high strength and impact resistance. Apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant to the male threads to prevent leaks. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic threaded connections. When making a threaded connection be careful not to overtighten the threads. To prevent cracks and leaks, finger tighten the fitting, then wrench-tighten one to two turns.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

Expansion Plugs with Bypass
Use the bypass tube on these plugs to add air, water, and other fluid to your pipeline or to relieve pressure while testing. Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving. Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.
