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 Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings

Use these fittings for low-pressure applications in noncorrosive environments.

Compact straight connectors are able to fit into tight spaces. They are also known as merchant couplings. Connectors with NPSC threads are fully threaded from one end.

Adapters for tanks create an inlet or outlet connection on the surface of any tank, pressure vessel, or drum. Adapters with weld end allow for a permanent connection.

NPTF (Dryseal) threads, NPSC (National Pipe Straight Coupling) threads, and NPSL (National Pipe Straight Locknut) threads are compatible with NPT threads.

Low-Pressure Galvanized Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings

The galvanized finish on these fittings provides fair corrosion resistance. Fittings are for use in low-pressure applications.

Compact straight connectors are able to fit into tight spaces. They are also known as merchant couplings. Connectors with NPSC threads are fully threaded from one end.

NPSC (National Pipe Straight Coupling) threads and NPSL (National Pipe Straight Locknut) threads are compatible with NPT threads.
