    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.

    High-Pressure Titanium Threaded Pipe Fittings

    Titanium has similar strength to steel, but is approximately 40% lighter. It has better corrosion resistance than most stainless steel alloys and can handle corrosive substances, such as salt water and acids.

    Helical Threaded Inserts

    Pronged

    Restore, reinforce, or create threads in metal. The tough coils on these inserts expand once installed to anchor in a tapped hole. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they're often used in engine heads and machinery housings where strong connections are critical. Unlike threadlocking inserts, you can remove and reuse them without them losing their strength.
    Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.
    Pronged—The prong attaches to an installation tool for precise control as you drive inserts in. Remove the prong with a punch or break-off tool before inserting a screw.
    Ultra-Corrosion-Resistant Lightweight Titanium—The best of both worlds, these inserts are lightweight yet strong enough for the highest stress applications. They resist acids and salt water better than nickel or stainless steel inserts.
