    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.

    Plastic Pipe Fittings for Oil

    Made of corrosion-resistant plastic, these fittings won’t deteriorate when used in oil applications. They also have high strength and impact resistance.
    To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a sealant to the male threads. Threaded connections can be taken apart as needed for maintenance and repair. For metal threads, use PTFE tape. For plastic threads, apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic connections. When making a threaded connection be careful not to overtighten the threads. To prevent cracks and leaks, finger tighten the fitting, then wrench-tighten one to two turns.
    Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings, flanges, and pipe with compressed air or gas.

    Low-Pressure Aluminum Threaded Pipe Fittings

    In addition to being lightweight, these aluminum fittings offer good corrosion resistance. Use them in low-pressure flow applications. To prevent cracking, do not tighten more than a 1/4-turn past hand tight.

    Powder-Coated Aluminum—Anodized and powder-coated fittings have a decorative matte black finish.
    DIN 3852—DIN 3852 fittings meet DIN standards for mating surface outer diameter. They have a Buna-N rubber gasket that resists grease, hydraulic oil, and motor oil—plus mild chemicals and water. The gasket stays in a groove undercut in the mating face, which prevents it from dropping out and from extruding when fittings are tightened.
