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.

Soft Plastic Tubing for Chemicals

Use this general purpose tubing with a variety of chemicals.

Large-Diameter Soft Rubber Tubing for Chemicals

With a diameter of 2" or larger, this tubing has the girth to handle high volumes of acids and other harsh substances.

Low-Temperature Firm Plastic Tubing for Chemicals

Cold temperatures pose no problems for this tubing—it stays strong and flexible, even when temperatures drop to -100° F.

Smooth-Flow Soft Plastic
Tubing for Food and Beverage

The smooth, nonabsorbing interior on this tubing resists material buildup, so it is easy to clean.

Compression Fittings for Plastic Tubing—Chemicals

Fittings have a sleeve that bites into tubing as you tighten the nut to form a seal in applications up to 120 psi. Also known as flareless fittings.

Plastic Push-to-Connect Tube Fittings for Chemicals

Also known as instant fittings, these chemical-resistant plastic fittings connect to tubing with a push, and an internal gripping ring and fluoroelastomer O-ring hold the tubing tight.

Stainless Steel Push-to-Connect
Tube Fittings for Chemicals

Fittings are 316 stainless steel, which has excellent chemical resistance and is more durable than plastic.

Pipe and Pipe Fittings

Low-Pressure Press-Connect Stainless
Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings

Press these fittings onto stainless steel pipe using a crimping tool for a permanent, leak-tight connection that's faster than threading or welding and doesn't require heat.

CPVC Pipe for Hot Water

Connect to CPVC pipe fittings for use in high-temperature plumbing and water supply applications up to 170° or 200° F.

Fiberglass Pipe for Corrosive Chemicals

With excellent corrosion resistance, this pipe can handle a wide range of acids and other highly-corrosive chemicals. Use in metal surface treating applications, plating solution lines, and other chemical process applications. Layers of fiberglass give this pipe better strength and durability than any of our other pipe for chemicals.

Gravity-Flow CPVC Pipe for Corrosive Chemical Waste

Use this pipe in gravity-flow applications that involve highly-corrosive chemicals–it is NSF certified for use in corrosive waste systems. Pipe is made of CPVC, which has better chemical resistance than ABS plastic to stand up to acids and other harsh substances.

Clear Easy-to-Form PETG Tubes

PETG can be formed into complex shapes without sacrificing durability.

Chemical-Resistant PVC Tubes

Because PVC resists many acids and alkalies, it’s widely used for tanks and in chemical-processing applications. Also known as PVC Type 1.

High-Temperature CPVC Tubes

CPVC is just as chemical resistant as standard PVC Type 1 and can handle hotter temperatures up to 200° F.

Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE Tubes

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

Durable Glass-Filled Chemical-Resistant
Slippery PTFE Tubes

This glass-filled PTFE is more rigid than standard PTFE for increased durability in high-stress applications.
