    About Pipe and Fittings
    industrial info icon

    Measure your pipe and fittings to identify their pipe size, thread size, schedule, and thread type. Then, find compatible components.

    Low-Pressure Stainless Steel Press-Socket 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. Fittings have an internal stainless steel gripping ring and rubber O-ring that create a seal when crimped. They are designed to leak if fittings have not been crimped; a colored dot marks the leak path so it's easy to spot unsealed connections. All of these fittings are made of 304 stainless steel to resist corrosion from frequent exposure to water and fuels. They’re often used for water processing lines, heating and cooling systems, and fuel lines. They are comparable to Viega MegaPress fittings. Fittings meet ANSI/ASME B31 code requirements for use in pressure piping systems.

    Crimping Tools
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tube Crimpers.
    Crimping tools seal fittings in less than five seconds. These tools are cordless, so you can take them to any job. Connect the jaw or ring that matches your pipe size to these tools, then pull the trigger to crimp the fitting. The pivoting head lets you access connections from any angle.

    Jaw and Ring Set

    Jaw and ring sets include three jaws, three rings, and one ring actuator jaw. Jaws are for pipe sizes 1/2 to 1; they fit directly into the crimping tool. Rings are for pipe sizes 1 1/4 to 2; clip the ring around the fitting and use the ring actuator jaw and crimping tool to press the open ends together.

    Low-Pressure Iron and Steel Press-Socket 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. An internal gripping ring and rubber O-ring create a secure seal when crimped. They are designed to leak if fittings have not been crimped; a colored dot marks the leak path so it's easy to spot unsealed connections. These steel fittings are coated in zinc-nickel to resist corrosion, but will rust if frequently exposed to saltwater or harsh chemicals. They are comparable to Viega MegaPress steel fittings. Fittings meet ASME B31 code requirements for use in pressure piping systems.

    Union fittings separate into three pieces so you can access your line without unthreading pipe connections.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—Zinc-plated steel fittings have better corrosion resistance than plain steel fittings.
    EPDM O-Ring—Fittings with an EPDM rubber O-ring are often used for water processing lines, fire sprinklers, and heating and cooling systems. EPDM rubber won’t degrade when exposed to water, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol. These fittings meet UL 213 and FM 1920 standards for use in fire protection systems.
