 Pipe Fittings |
|
|
|
|
|
Fittings are used in pipe and plumbing systems to connect straight pipe or tubing sections, to adapt to different sizes or shapes,
|
|
| and for other purposes, such as regulating or measuring fluid flow. |
|
| |
|
| We manufacture various type of fittings like |
|
| |
|
| Elbow |
|
|
|
| • An elbow is a pipe fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tubing to allow a change of direction, usually a 90° or 45° |
|
| angle, though 22.5° elbows are also made. |
|
| |
|
| Coupling |
|
|
|
| • A coupling connects two pipes to each other. If the size of the pipe is not the same , the fitting may be called a reducing |
|
| coupling or reducer, or an adapter. |
|
| |
|
| Union |
|
|
|
| • A union is similar to a coupling, except it is designed to allow quick and convenient disconnection of pipes for maintenance |
|
| or fixture replacement. |
|
| |
|
| Reducer |
|
|
|
| • A reducer allows for a change in pipe size to meet hydraulic flow requirements of the system, or to adapt to existing piping of |
|
| a different size. Reducers are usually concentric but eccentric reducers are used when required to maintain the same top- or |
|
| bottom-of-pipe level. |
|
| |
|
| Tee |
|
|
|
| • A tee is used to either combine or split a fluid flow. Most common are tees with the same inlet and outlet sizes, but reducing |
|
| tees are available as well. |
|
| |
|
| Cross |
|
|
|
| • A cross has one inlet and three outlets, or vice versa. Crosses are common in fire sprinkler systems, but not in plumbing due |
|
| to their extra cost as compared to using two tees. The three outlet sizes should be named in order (e.g. left, middle, right; |
|
| measuring 15-22-15). |
