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.

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.
Aluminum fittings are lighter in weight than 316 stainless steel fittings. They have good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel fittings 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.

Sockets with butt-weld end are also known as DWB couplers. They have a beveled end that forms a trough for welding, creating a strong, permanent connection.
