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

    304 Stainless Steel—Fittings hold up in humid, damp, and washdown environments but will corrode if exposed to salt water or chemicals.
    316 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.

    High-Pressure Stainless Steel Socket-Connect Pipe Fittings

    Forged for excellent strength, these heavy duty socket-connect fittings stand up to high-pressure applications. 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.
