Low-Pressure Steel Threaded Pipe Flanges
Use these flanges for low-pressure applications in noncorrosive environments. Bolt two flanges of the same size together with a gasket (sold separately) to create an access point within a line.
Reducing flanges allow you to transition your system to a smaller pipe size; attach to a flange with a larger pipe size but with the same flange dimensions.

Standard-Wall Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water
Connect these fittings to Schedule 40 plastic pipe–they are the industry standard for residential and commercial low-pressure plumbing and water supply applications. They are plastic for good corrosion resistance.
Fittings for drinking water meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61.
Attach socket-connect ends to unthreaded pipe or another socket-connect fitting with a PVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld).
To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a sealant to the male threads. For plastic threads, apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic connections. Fittings that meet ASTM D1784, ASTM D1785, and ASTM D4066 adhere to specifications and testing requirements for material quality.
Note: For fittings that are not rated for pressure, you can use the pressure rating of the plastic pipe as a reference. Threaded fittings are limited to 50% of the rated pressure of the pipe.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

Vacuum Fittings for Steel Tubing
- For Use With: Air, Glass, Plastic Pellets, Resins, Wood Chips
- Temperature Range: -10° to 180° F
- Tubing: Galvanized Steel: Use with steel, galvanized steel
Steel: Use with steel
Use these fittings to create an air vacuum system without the hassle of brazing and welding. Insert two fittings into a clamp (sold separately) and tighten to form a secure seal.
Galvanized steel fittings have fair corrosion resistance. Fittings without a finish should only be used in noncorrosive environments.

Easy-Fit Barbed Hose Fittings for Air and Water
Low-profile barbs and a longer first barb allow for a smoother, easier installation than other barbed fittings. Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with a clamp.
Steel fittings are stronger and more durable than other metal fittings. They should be used in noncorrosive environments. Zinc-plated steel fittings have slightly better corrosion resistance than unplated steel fittings. Fittings with a threaded end are also known as hose nipples.
