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.

Miniature Medium-Pressure Stainless Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings

When space is at a premium choose these compact fittings. Though small in size, they have the strength to handle medium-pressure applications. Fittings are stainless steel for very good corrosion resistance.

Metric, BSPP, and UN/UNF (SAE) male threads have a gasket to protect against leaks. Made from fluoroelastomer, these gaskets resist chemicals, including benzene, butyl alcohol, and ethylene glycol. UN/UNF (SAE) threads are also known as O-ring boss threads.

High-Pressure Plated Brass Threaded Pipe Nipples and Pipe

The plating on this pipe creates a shiny finish and provides extra protection in corrosive environments. It has the strength to handle high-pressure applications.

Nickel-plated brass pipe provides better corrosion resistance than unplated brass.

Fully threaded pipe is also known as a close nipple; it is threaded on each end to the center.

Miniature Medium-Pressure Aluminum Threaded Pipe Fittings

Their small size makes these miniature fittings a good choice for cramped, confined spaces. They are designed to handle medium-pressure applications. Fittings are aluminum, which is lightweight with good corrosion resistance.

Metric and UN/UNF (SAE) male threads have a gasket to protect against leaks.

Choose-a-Color Aluminum Low-Pressure Barbed Tube Fittings for Air and Water

For Use With: Air, Lubricated Air, Water
Temperature Range: -40° to 230° F
Tubing: Use with hard (Durometer 75A-60D) EVA plastic, polyethylene plastic, polyurethane rubber or PVDF plastic

Color-code fittings for easy identification. Fittings are aluminum, which is lightweight with good corrosion resistance. The barb grips onto tubing, providing a secure hold with no clamp required.

Metric, BSPP, and UN/UNF (SAE) male threads have a gasket for a tight seal.

Nickel-Plated Brass Low-Pressure Barbed Tube Fittings for Air and Water

The nickel plating on these brass fittings provides extra protection against corrosive environments. The plating won’t peel or chip, so the fittings keep a bright, polished appearance. The barbs grip onto tubing, providing a secure hold with no clamp required.

Metric male threads have a fiber gasket that forms a tight seal.
