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 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.

High-Pressure Plated Brass Threaded Pipe Fittings
The plating on these brass fittings creates a shiny finish and provides extra protection in corrosive environments. Fittings have the strength to handle high-pressure applications.
Nickel-plated brass fittings provide better corrosion resistance than unplated brass fittings.
Through-wall fittings are also known as bulkhead couplings and panel-mount couplings; they mount through a wall or panel to create an inlet or outlet.

Metric Lead Screws and Nuts
Found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables, lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects. To ensure compatibility, please select components that have the same thread direction, size, pitch, and number of thread starts. Class 7e and 7H components are compatible.
932 bearing bronze components are more wear resistant than brass components. They have good machinability and fair corrosion resistance.
Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a nut moves with one revolution of the lead screw.
Flange nuts move objects along the length of a lead screw. They have a wide machinable flange for custom mounting.
