How to Identify and Measure Fittings

Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

Low-Pressure Brass and Bronze Threaded Pipe Fittings

Use these fittings in low-pressure flow applications. They have good corrosion resistance.

Press-Connect Fittings for Copper Tubing

For Use With: Drinking Water
Maximum Pressure: 200psi @ 72° F
Temperature Range: 0° to 250° F
Tubing: Use with K, M, L copper
Specifications Met: See table

Crimp these fittings to copper tubing with a crimping tool (sold separately). An O-ring on the inside of the fitting creates a leak-tight connection that doesn’t require heat or soldering. They are comparable to Viega ProPress fittings. Fittings have good corrosion resistance. They meet NSF/ANSI safety standards for use with drinking water systems.

Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.
