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.

Thick-Wall Plastic Pipe for Water

With thicker, stronger walls than standard-wall pipe, this Schedule 80 pipe can handle heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. It’s made of PVC, which has good corrosion resistance. Pipe meets ASTM D1784 and ASTM D1785 specifications and testing requirements for material quality.

Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

Sealants cannot be sold to Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Northern Virginia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Utah due to local VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations.

Standard-Wall Plastic Pipe for Water

Connect this pipe to standard-wall plastic pipe fittings for a variety of residential and commercial low-pressure plumbing and water supply applications. It’s made of PVC, which has good corrosion resistance. Connect to unthreaded female socket-connect fittings using a PVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld).

Pipe for drinking water meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61.

Pipe that meets ASTM D1784 and ASTM D1785 adheres to specifications and testing requirements for material quality.

Bend radius is the point to which you can bend pipe or tubing without damaging it. The smaller the measurement, the better the bend.

Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

Easy-Fit Barbed Hose Fittings for Air and Water

Low-profile barbs and a longer first barb allow for a smoother, easier installation than other barbed fittings. Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with a clamp.

Steel fittings are stronger and more durable than other metal fittings. They should be used in noncorrosive environments. Zinc-plated steel fittings have slightly better corrosion resistance than unplated steel fittings. Fittings with a threaded end are also known as hose nipples.

Metal Cam-and-Groove Hose Couplings for Water

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.

Plugs with male threaded end are also known as F adapters.

Plugs with female threaded end are also known as A adapters.

Aluminum couplings are lighter in weight than brass plugs and sockets. They have good abrasion and corrosion resistance. Brass couplings are softer than aluminum plugs and sockets, so they’re easier to thread together. They have good 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.

Easy-Fit Barbed Hose Fittings for Chemicals

Low-profile barbs and a longer first barb allow for a smoother, easier installation than other barbed fittings. Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with a clamp. Fittings are 316 stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion resistance to withstand a variety of chemicals.

Adapters are also known as hose nipples; they adapt a barbed end to a threaded end.

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.

Plugs with male threaded end are also known as F adapters.

Plugs with female threaded end are also known as A adapters.

Sockets with locking levers prevent accidental disconnection. The locks engage automatically when the coupling is connected. Press the locks simultaneously to disengage.

Sockets with male threaded end are also known as B couplers.

Straight sockets with female threaded end are also known as D couplers.

Aluminum plugs and sockets are lighter in weight than 316 stainless steel plugs and sockets. They have good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel plugs and sockets 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.
