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.

Soft Plastic Tubing for Food, Beverage, and Dairy

The industry standard for general purpose food, beverage, and dairy applications, this tubing meets NSF/ANSI Standard 51 for food contact.

Semi-Flexible Hard Plastic Tubing
for Food, Beverage, and Dairy

Strong, yet pliable, this tubing is good for gradual bends and can handle repeated flexing.

Cleaned and Bagged High-Purity Hard Plastic Tubing

Designed for high-purity applications, this hard tubing is cleaned and bagged to prevent dirt and moisture from contaminating the inside. It is free of plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid running through it.

Firm Plastic and Rubber Tubing for Drinking Water

Tubing meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for drinking water.

Hard Plastic Tubing for Drinking Water

This tubing has hard walls like copper tubing, but is lighter in weight and easier to install. It connects to fittings with no heat or soldering required. Tubing meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for drinking water.

Medium-Pressure Copper Tubing for Drinking Water

This Type L tubing has thicker walls than Type M tubing. It withstands pressures up to 1,500 psi.

Low-Pressure Copper Tubing for Drinking Water

This Type M tubing has the thinnest walls of all our copper tubing for drinking water. It withstands pressures up to 980 psi.

High-Pressure Copper Tubing for Drinking Water

This Type K tubing has the thickest walls of all our copper tubing for drinking water. It withstands pressures up to 1,900 psi.

Plastic Pipe and Pipe Fittings for Water

Standard-Wall Plastic Pipe for Water

Connect this pipe to standard-wall plastic pipe fittings in low- to medium-pressure applications up to 810 psi. It is typically used in residential and commercial plumbing and water supply applications.

Thick-Wall Plastic Pipe for Water

Connect to thick-wall plastic pipe fittings for use in heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. Pipe can handle pressures up to 900 psi.

Extra-Thick-Wall Plastic Pipe for Water

Extra-thick Schedule 120 walls give this pipe excellent strength in heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. Use in high-pressure applications up to 1,000 psi. They connect to thick-wall plastic pipe fittings.

Semi-Flexible Plastic Pipe for Water

Connect to barbed plastic pipe fittings with a clamp. Pipe isn't as bendable as soft tubing, but can still bend around objects, resulting in fewer connection points in your line. Fewer connection points not only shortens installation time, but also allows for smoother flow through the line.

CPVC Pipe for Hot Water

Connect to CPVC pipe fittings for use in high-temperature plumbing and water supply applications up to 170° or 200° F.
