    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 Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings

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

    Add a finishing touch to the area around protruding pipes with these corrosion-resistant plates. They’re also known as escutcheons.
    Solid—Solid plates don’t open, so they need to be installed before you attach fittings to your pipe.
    Split—Split plates twist open on one side and then snap back together once they are around the pipe.
    Hinged—Hinged plates swing open on one side, so you can fit them around pipe and then snap them closed.
