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

    Semi-Flexible Plastic Pipe Nipples and Pipe for Water

    While not as flexible as soft tubing, this pipe can still bend around objects, resulting in fewer connection points in your line. Fewer connection points not only shortens installation time, but also allows for smoother flow through the line. Pipe connects to barbed pipe fittings with a clamp (sold separately). It is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for excellent strength and corrosion resistance. It meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for drinking water and ASTM D3350 specifications and testing requirements for material quality.
    Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings, flanges, and pipe with compressed air or gas.

    Flexible pipe isn’t as bendable as soft tubing, but it can still bend around objects, resulting in fewer connection points in your line. Fewer connection points both reduces installation time and allows for smoother flow through your line.

    Flexible Metal (FMC) Conduit and Fittings

    Image of System. Front orientation. Conduit and Fittings. Flexible Metal (FMC) Conduit and Fittings.
    Make tight bends and protect wiring from being crushed. This corrugated conduit snakes around corners where rigid metal conduit won’t fit. For use indoors, it’s ideal for short connections or runs through walls in spaces that require both flexibility and durability.

    Thin-Wall (EMT) Metal Conduit and Fittings

    Image of System. Front orientation. Conduit and Fittings. Thin-Wall (EMT) Metal Conduit and Fittings.
    With a thinner wall, this conduit is a lighter alternative to IMC and RMC. The most common choice for indoor walls and ceilings, it shields wiring from scrapes and bumps. EMT can dent or crush from impact, however, so it should be routed away from high‑traffic areas where carts and vehicles pass through.

    Medium-Wall (IMC) and Thick-Wall (RMC) Metal Conduit and Fittings

    Image of System. Front orientation. Conduit and Fittings. Medium-Wall (IMC) and Thick-Wall (RMC) Metal Conduit and Fittings.
    The industry standards, IMC and RMC conduit systems offer the most durable protection indoors, outdoors, and underground. Both types have the same outside diameter, so they use many of the same fittings. This interchangeability makes retrofits easier and reduces the parts you need to keep on hand.
