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.

Medium-Pressure Pipe Fittings for Joining Dissimilar Metals

Use these unions to connect different metals in a piping or plumbing system. They have a plastic sleeve that inhibits destructive corrosion. Use them for connections that must be electrically insulated. Unions separate into three pieces for access to your line.

Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.

Drain, Waste, and Vent ABS Pipe Fittings for Chemicals

For Use With: Sodium Hydroxide
Max. Temperature: 180° F
Specifications Met: ASTM D2661, ASTM D3311, ASTM D3965, ASTM F1498
Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 ABS Plastic
Flanges: Use Schedule 40 ABS Plastic

These Schedule 40 fittings are an economical option for gravity-flow chemical waste systems. They are ABS plastic, which has excellent strength and impact resistance and good chemical resistance. Fittings meet ASTM D2661, ASTM D3311, ASTM D3965, and ASTM F1498 specifications and testing requirements for material quality and product dimensions.

Attach socket-connect ends to unthreaded pipe or another socket-connect fitting with ABS cement (also known as solvent weld).

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.

270° Bend Adapters, Female Socket Connect × Female Compression Tube

Fittings with a compression end are also known as slip-joint fittings. Insert the tube into the compression end and turn the nut until hand tight. Since you don't have to wait for cement to dry, they are quicker to install than socket-connect fittings.

270° bend fittings are also known as P-traps. They separate into three pieces, so you can access your line.

For Use With: Water
Max. Temperature: 140° F
Specifications Met: ASTM D1784, ASTM D2665
Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 PVC Plastic
Flanges: Use Schedule 40 PVC Plastic

These Schedule 40 fittings are the industry standard for gravity-flow drain, waste, and vent (DWV) applications. Fittings are PVC, which has good corrosion resistance. They meet ASTM D1784 and ASTM D2665 specifications and testing requirements for material quality.

Attach socket-connect ends to unthreaded pipe or another socket-connect fitting with a PVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld).

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

Solder-Connect Fittings for Copper Tubing

Temperature Range: 32° to 200° F

Solder these fittings to copper tubing or the tube end of another fitting for a permanent, leak-tight connection. They are also known as sweat fittings. Fittings have good corrosion resistance. To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use fittings that meet NSF/ANSI 61, EN 1057, or DVGW GW 8(P).

Tubing: Use with K, M, L copper
Specifications Met: ASME B16.22, MSS-SP104, NSF/ANSI 61

When cleanliness is crucial to your application, choose these fittings that are individually cleaned and bagged to prevent contamination. Solder the socket end to copper tubing or the tube end of another fitting for a permanent, leak-tight connection. They are also known as sweat fittings. Fittings have good corrosion resistance. They meet NSF/ANSI 61 safety standards for use with drinking water systems.

For Use With: Drinking Water
Maximum Pressure: 200psi @ 72° F
Temperature Range: 0° to 250° F
Tubing: Use with K, M, L copper
Specifications Met: See table

Crimp these fittings to copper tubing with a crimping tool (sold separately). An O-ring on the inside of the fitting creates a leak-tight connection that doesn’t require heat or soldering. They are comparable to Viega ProPress fittings. Fittings have good corrosion resistance. They meet NSF/ANSI safety standards for use with drinking water systems.

Unions separate into three pieces for easy access to your line. Union adapters for galvanized steel threaded pipe join copper tubing to galvanized threaded connections on hot water heaters.
