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.

Insert tubing into these fittings and an internal gripping ring and O-ring hold the tubing tight. They are also known as instant fittings. To disconnect, push on the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting. Fittings have good corrosion resistance.

Identification rings (sold separately) snap over the release ring so you can color-code your lines.

Clips (sold separately) align and organize your tubing and fittings.

Grease Fittings

These fittings are also known as hydraulic grease fittings.

Zinc-plated steel fittings have mild corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel fittings are more corrosion resistant than brass fittings and have good chemical resistance.

Fittings with a check valve prevent grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants.
