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.

Standard-Wall Butt-Weld Stainless Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings
Also known as Schedule 40 fittings, these have thicker walls than our thin-wall stainless steel unthreaded butt-weld fittings. They have beveled ends that, when flush to pipe, create a trough for a strong weld that permits maximum flow.
304 stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.
Stub-end straight adapters are used with flanges. Slide a flange onto the stub end and weld the stub end to pipe (not the flange). Since the flange isn’t welded to the pipe, it can be disconnected easily, which creates an access point for frequent cleaning and inspecting.
- For Use With: Air, Natural Gas, Oil, Water
- Specifications Met: ASME B16.9, ASTM A403, MSS SP-43
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 stainless steel
- Flanges: Use Class 150 stainless steel
Thin-Wall Butt-Weld Stainless Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings
Also known as Schedule 10 fittings, these are thin and lightweight. They have beveled ends that, when flush to pipe, create a trough for a strong weld that permits maximum flow.
304 stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.
Stub-end straight adapters are used with flanges. Slide a flange onto the stub end and weld the stub end to pipe (not the flange). Since the flange isn’t welded to the pipe, it can be disconnected easily, which creates an access point for frequent cleaning and inspecting.
- For Use With: Air, Natural Gas, Oil, Water
- Specifications Met: ASME B16.9, ASTM A403, MSS SP-43
- Pipe: Use Schedule 10 stainless steel
FM-Approved Low-Pressure Cast Iron Unthreaded Pipe Flanges
- For Use With: Air, Diesel Fuel, Gasoline, Natural Gas, Oil, Steam, Water
- Pressure Class: 125
- Specifications Met: ASME B1.20.1, ASME B16.1, ASTM A126, FM Approved
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 steel
- Fittings: Use Class 125 or 150 iron and steel
FM-approved for fire protection applications, these flanges are cast iron, so they're brittle and can be quickly opened by hitting them with a sledge hammer. Bolt them together with a gasket (not included) to create an access point within a low-pressure pipe line. All are cap flanges, which are also known as blind flanges. Use them in noncorrosive environments.

Standard-Wall Butt-Weld Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings
Butt-weld fittings allow for a smooth connection that provides maximum flow. They have beveled ends that, when flush to pipe, create a trough for a strong, permanent weld. Fittings are also known as Schedule 40. They are for use in noncorrosive environments.
Stub-end straight adapters are used with flanges. Slide a flange onto the stub end and weld the stub end to pipe (not the flange). Since the flange isn’t welded to the pipe, it can be disconnected easily, which creates an access point for frequent cleaning and inspecting.
- For Use With: Air, Steam, Oil, Water, Natural Gas
- Specifications Met: ASTM A234, ASME B16.9
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 Steel
- Flanges: Use Class 150 Steel
Thick-Wall Butt-Weld Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings
With thicker, stronger walls than our standard-wall butt-weld pipe fittings, these fittings stand up to your high strength applications. Weld them flush against pipe for a smooth connection that permits maximum flow. These fittings have beveled ends that create a trough for a leak-resistant, permanent weld. Made of steel, they’re for use in noncorrosive environments.
Stub-end straight adapters are used with flanges. Slide a flange onto the stub end and weld the stub end to pipe (not the flange). Since the flange isn’t welded to the pipe, it can be disconnected easily, which creates an access point for frequent cleaning and inspecting. Bolt flanges together with a gasket.
Extreme-Pressure Steel Unthreaded Pipe Flanges
For excellent strength in extreme-pressure applications, choose these heavy duty Pressure Class 1500 flanges. Bolt two same-size flanges together with a gasket (sold separately) to create an access point in a pipe line. They are for noncorrosive environments.
Butt-weld flanges are also known as weld-neck flanges; the flange neck has a beveled end that, when flush to pipe, creates a trough for a strong weld.
Slip-on weld flanges have no internal stop; slide a pipe through the flange and weld on both sides.
Socket-connect flanges have an internal stop that supports the pipe when welding and prevents the pipe from sliding all the way through.
Cap flanges are also known as blind flanges.
