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.

Low-Pressure Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings

Use these fittings for low-pressure applications in noncorrosive environments.

Saddle tap tees tap into existing pipe lines so you can install branch lines, valves, and other equipment. The gasket and clamps create a tight seal so the opening won’t leak. To install, shut down your line and secure the clamps, then drill a hole into the pipe.

Standard-Wall Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water

Connect these fittings to Schedule 40 plastic pipe–they are the industry standard for residential and commercial low-pressure plumbing and water supply applications. They are plastic for good corrosion resistance.

Fittings for drinking water meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61.

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

To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a sealant to the male threads. For plastic threads, apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic connections. Fittings that meet ASTM D1784, ASTM D1785, and ASTM D4066 adhere to specifications and testing requirements for material quality.

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.

Saddle-tap tee adapters allow you to create additional outlets and connections in metal or plastic pipe. To install, shut down your line and drill a hole in the pipe where you want to create a connection. Position the saddle over the hole so the gasket and lip are fully engaged and secure with the included nuts, bolts, and washers.

Thick-Wall Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water

Connect these fittings to Schedule 80 pipe–they have thicker, stronger walls than standard-wall fittings so they can handle heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. Fittings are plastic for good corrosion resistance. They meet ASTM specifications and testing requirements for material quality.

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.

Low-Pressure Clamp-On Connectors for Drain, Waste, and Vent

Tighten the bands on these connectors to form a strong seal on pipe or fittings.

Saddle-tap adapters allow you to tap into an existing pipeline. They have wraparound clamps that provide nearly 360° contact with pipe; as the clamps are tightened, pressure is uniformly distributed around the pipe for maximum support. To install, shut down your line and drill a hole in the pipe where you want to create a connection. Position the saddle over the hole and tighten the clamps.
