    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.

    Extreme-Pressure Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings

    The strongest steel fittings we offer, these can withstand extreme-pressure applications.
    Note: The maximum pressure listed for Class 6000 fittings is for conditions where there are no sudden changes in pressure or velocity. Please refer to ASME B16.11 to determine the specific maximum operating pressure for your application.

    Extreme-Pressure Iron and Steel Socket-Connect Pipe Fittings

    Also known as Pressure Class 6000 fittings, these heavy duty forged fittings are the strongest steel fittings we offer. They are easier to weld than butt-weld fittings because the fitting doesn’t need to align perfectly to the pipe. Slide pipe into the socket and weld for a strong, permanent connection. Fittings are for use in noncorrosive environments.

    304/304L Stainless Steel—Fittings hold up in humid, damp, and washdown environments but will corrode if exposed to salt water or chemicals.
    316/316L Stainless Steel—Fittings are the most corrosion resistant. They stand up to wet environments, just like 304 stainless steel fittings, but unlike 304 stainless steel, they will not corrode from salt water, chlorine solutions, and chemicals.
