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.

Made of CPVC, these fittings can handle high temperatures up to 200° F. They connect to Schedule 80 pipe and have thick, strong walls to handle heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing and waste water treatment. Fittings have good corrosion resistance. They meet ASTM D1784 specifications and testing requirements for material quality. They are comparable to Corzan.

Fittings for drinking water meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61.

Note: For fittings that are not rated for pressure, you can use the pressure rating of the plastic pipe as a reference. Threaded fittings are limited to 50% of the rated pressure of the pipe.

Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

Straight Bushing Reducing Adapters, Male Socket Connect × Female Threaded Pipe

For Use With: Acetic Acid (10%), Calcium Chloride, Deionized Water, Drinking Water, Hydrochloric Acid (25%), Nitric Acid (10%), Phosphoric Acid (85%), Salt Water, Sulfuric Acid (75%), Water
Maximum Temperature: 200° F

Attach socket-connect ends to unthreaded pipe or another socket-connect fitting with a CPVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld).

To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant to the male threads. 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.

Metal Cam-and-Groove Hose Couplings
for Chemicals and Petroleum

Made of metal, these couplings have better durability than plastic cam-and-groove couplings. A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that allow you to quickly connect and disconnect medium-to large-diameter hose lines. To connect, insert the plug into the socket and press the levers down. The levers fit snugly into the groove on the plug’s body and force the plug against the gasket to form a tight seal. To disconnect, lift both levers and pull out the plug. Couplings are compatible with Andrews, Dixon, Ever-Tite, and PT cam-and-groove couplings.

Plugs with male threaded end are also known as F adapters.

Plugs with female threaded end are also known as A adapters.

Plug-to-socket reducing adapters are also known as A x C couplers.

Aluminum plugs and sockets are lighter in weight than 316 stainless steel plugs and sockets. They have good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel plugs and sockets have excellent corrosion resistance.

Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.

Warning: Relieve all pressure before disconnecting the couplings. Do not use cam-and-groove couplings with compressed air or gas.
