Pipe fittings are structural pipe connectors used to connect and manipulate pipes in the construction, plumbing, oil & gas and manufacturing industries. They are important for ensuring the proper flow of liquids or gases within a piping system. These fittings come in various shapes and sizes, including elbows, tees, nipples and strainers to join, redirect or branch the pipes. Read Less
Elbow fittings enable changes in the direction of the pipe to navigate around obstacles or design a specific flow path.
Tee fittings enable branching off a main pipeline into multiple directions, facilitating the distribution of fluids.
These fittings can adapt pipes to different standards or thread types, ensuring compatibility and proper functioning within a system.
These structural pipe connectors, when installed correctly, provide a secure, leak-resistant connection for a safe and efficient transport of fluids.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can pipe fittings be reused?
In some cases, these structural pipe connectors can be reused if they are in good condition and meet the requirements of the new application. However, it is essential to assess their integrity and compatibility before reuse.
What is the difference between male and female pipe fittings?
Male pipe fittings have threads on the outside and are designed to be inserted into female fittings, which have threads on the inside.
How do you select the right pipe fittings for a project?
The choice of pipe fittings depends on factors like the type of fluid or gas being transported, pressure requirements, temperature conditions and the material compatibility of the fittings with the pipes.
