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.

Medium-Pressure Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
With better strength than our low-pressure iron and steel pipe fittings, these can handle medium-pressure applications. They are for use in noncorrosive environments.
Straight connectors with recessed threading have a short unthreaded space on each end, which allows for easy alignment when threading onto long lengths of pipe. They are also known as API line couplings.

- For Use With: Air, Water, Oil, Natural Gas
- Specifications Met: ASTM A105, ASTM A53
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 160 or 80 steel
- Flanges: Use Class 300 or 600 steel

Medium-Pressure Galvanized Iron
and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
A galvanized finish gives these fittings fair corrosion resistance. They have the strength to handle medium-pressure applications.
Straight connectors with recessed threading have a short unthreaded space on each end, which allows for easy alignment when threading onto long lengths of pipe. They are also known as API line couplings.

- For Use With: Air, Water, Oil, Natural Gas
- Specifications Met: ASTM A105, ASTM A53
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 80 steel
- Flanges: Use Class 300 steel
