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 Socket-Connect Stainless
Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings

Socket-connect fittings are easier to weld than butt-weld fittings because the fitting doesn't need to align perfectly to the pipe. Slip the pipe into the socket and weld.

Low-Pressure Press-Connect Stainless
Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings

Press these fittings onto stainless steel pipe using a crimping tool for a permanent, leak-tight connection that's faster than threading or welding and doesn't require heat.

High-Pressure Socket-Connect
Stainless Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings

Socket-connect fittings are easier to weld than butt-weld fittings because the fitting doesn't need to align perfectly to the pipe. Slip the pipe into the socket and weld.

Medium-Pressure Pipe Fittings
for Joining Dissimilar Metals

Use these unions to connect different metals in a piping or plumbing system. They have a gasket with a plastic sleeve that inhibits destructive corrosion.

Low-Pressure Press-Connect
Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings

Crimp these fittings onto steel pipe to form a tightly sealed connection that’s faster than threading or welding and doesn’t require heat.

High-Pressure Socket-Connect
Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings

Socket-connect fittings are easier to weld than butt-weld fittings because the fitting doesn't need to align perfectly to the pipe. Slide the pipe into the socket and weld.

Extreme-Pressure Socket-Connect
Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings

Also known as Pressure Class 6000 fittings, these heavy duty forged fittings are the strongest steel fittings we offer.

Bronze Unthreaded Pipe Fittings

Also known as Silbraze fittings.

Plastic Pipe and Pipe Fittings

Thick-Wall Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water

Connect these fittings to thick-wall plastic 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. They can withstand pressures up to 900 psi.

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.

CPVC Pipe Fittings for Hot Water

Connect to CPVC pipe for use in high-temperature plumbing and water supply applications up to 200° F.

Drain, Waste, and Vent ABS Pipe Fittings for Chemicals

These fittings are an economical option for chemical waste systems. Fittings are ABS plastic, which has excellent strength and impact resistance and good chemical resistance.

Aboveground Standard-Wall PVC Pipe
Fittings for Drain, Waste, and Vent

These Schedule 40 fittings are the industry standard for gravity-flow drain, waste, and vent (DWV) applications.

Tube Fittings for Copper and Brass Tubing

Solder-Connect Fittings for Copper Tubing

Solder these fittings to tubing for a permanent, leak-tight connection. They are also known as sweat fittings.

Cleaned and Bagged Solder-Connect
Fittings for Copper Tubing

When cleanliness is crucial to your application, choose these fittings that are individually cleaned and bagged to prevent contamination.

Press-Connect Fittings for Copper Tubing

Crimp these fittings to copper tubing with a crimping tool for a leak-tight connection that doesn’t require heat or soldering. They are comparable to Viega ProPress fittings.
