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.

High-Pressure Nipples for Compressed Gas
Commonly used in high-pressure welding applications, these nipples connect your tank to the inlet of a pressure regulator. One side has a threaded pipe end and the other side has a rounded end that sits inside a threaded nut (sold separately) so you can make a threaded connection.
316 stainless steel nipples have excellent corrosion resistance.

Quick-Disconnect Couplings for Plastic and Rubber Tubing—Chemicals
- For Use With: Ammonia, Ethanol, Phosphoric Acid (70%), Sodium Carbonate
- Temperature Range: 32° to 160° F
Couplings consist of a plug and a socket (sold separately) that join with a latch, so you can frequently connect and disconnect your line. To connect, insert the plug into the socket; to disconnect, press the latch on the socket and remove the plug. Plugs and sockets are polypropylene, which has excellent chemical, impact, and abrasion resistance.
Plugs and sockets with shut-off have a valve to stop the flow when the coupling is separated so fluid won’t spill from your line.
Note: For a complete coupling, order a plug and a socket with the same coupling size.
