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.

High-Polish Metal Quick-Clamp Sanitary Tube Fittings

The smooth finish inside these stainless steel quick-clamp fittings makes it easy to remove product residue.

High-Temperature Compression
Tube Fittings for Food and Beverage

Made of PVDF (also known as Kynar), these fittings have excellent strength and can handle temperatures as high as 240° F or 270° F.

Compression Tube Fittings for Food and Beverage

These plastic compression fittings meet NSF/ANSI Standard 51 for food contact.

Push-to-Connect Fittings for Plastic
Tubing—Food and Beverage

Also known as instant fittings, they connect to tubing with a push, and an internal gripping ring and O-ring hold the tubing tight. Use in applications up to 150 psi.

Brass Push-to-Connect Fittings for Plastic
Tubing—Food, Beverage, and Dairy

Made of brass, these fittings withstand frequent washdowns in food-processing applications. They also adhere to NSF/ANSI safety standards, so they’re safe to use with food, beverages, and dairy.

Stainless Steel Barbed Tube
Fittings for Food and Beverage

Made of stainless steel, these fittings are more durable than plastic barbed tube fittings for food and beverage.

Super-Flow Plastic Barbed Tube
Fittings for Food and Beverage

A smooth interior reduces friction and prevents product buildup, ensuring an unrestricted flow.

High-Temperature Plastic Barbed
Tube Fittings for Food and Beverage

Fittings withstand temperatures up to 220° F.

Plastic Barbed Tube Fittings for Food and Beverage

Made of FDA listed materials, these fittings have a single barb that creates a smooth clamping surface for extra-tight connections.

Barbed Fittings for Plastic and
Rubber Tubing—High-Purity

Fittings have a barb that grips onto tubing. Use in applications up to 150 psi.

Sanitary Sampling Stainless Steel Tube Fittings

Take samples in sanitary environments—these tube fittings won’t contaminate your lines or force you to pause them.

Plastic Pipe and Pipe Fittings

Underground PVC Pipe Fittings
for Drain, Waste, and Vent

With thinner walls than Schedule 40 fittings, these are lighter in weight and have more space on the inside for high-flow applications, such as underground gravity-flow sewer and storm drainage lines. They are also known as SDR 35 fittings.

Aboveground Standard-Wall PVC Pipe
Fittings for Drain, Waste, and Vent

These Schedule 40 fittings are the industry standard for gravity-flow drain, waste, and vent (DWV) applications.

Underground Snap-Lock Polyethylene
Pipe Fittings for Drain, Waste, and Vent

The snap-together design allows you to quickly connect these fittings to pipe with no cement required. Fittings are typically used in gravity-flow drainage applications.

Gravity-Flow CPVC Pipe Fittings
for Corrosive Chemical Waste

These fittings are NSF certified for use in corrosive waste gravity-flow systems. Made of CPVC, they have better chemical resistance than ABS plastic gravity-flow fittings and can stand up to highly-corrosive acids and other harsh substances.

Drain, Waste, and Vent ABS Pipe Fittings for Chemicals

These fittings are an economical option for chemical waste systems. Fittings are ABS plastic, which has excellent strength and impact resistance and good chemical resistance.

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.

High-Pressure Barbed Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water

Use for pressures up to 200 psi. Also known as insert fittings, these slide into semi-flexible plastic pipe and secure with a clamp.

Thick-Wall Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water

Connect these fittings to thick-wall plastic pipe—they have thicker, stronger walls than standard-wall fittings, so they can handle heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. They can withstand pressures up to 900 psi.

UV-Resistant Standard-Wall PVC Pipe Fittings for Water

Connect these fittings to UV-resistant PVC pipe. Designed for outdoor use, they contain an additive that protects against the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. Fittings are typically used in low-pressure residential and commercial plumbing and water supply applications up to 300 psi.

CPVC Pipe Fittings for Hot Water

Connect to CPVC pipe for use in high-temperature plumbing and water supply applications up to 200° F.

Low-Pressure Barbed Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water

Use for pressures up to 60 psi. Also known as insert fittings, these slide into semi-flexible plastic pipe and secure with a clamp.

Stainless Steel Quick-Clamp T-Strainers

Add these inline T-strainers to your sanitary process line to trap solid particles during clean-in-place (CIP) cycles. They have quick-clamp sanitary tube connections, also known as tri-clamp connections, for use in dairy, food, and other process lines that require frequent cleaning and disassembly. As the high-pressure cleaning fluid flows through your line, the strainer's screen catches particles larger than 1/8" to prevent damage to pumps, valves, and other downstream components.

Screens for Stainless Steel Quick-Clamp T-Strainers

Use these replacement screens with our Stainless Steel Quick-Clamp T-Strainers. Designed for use in dairy, food, and other process lines that use clean-in-place (CIP) systems, they prevent damage to pumps, valves, and other downstream components.
