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.

Industrial Quick-Disconnect Hose Couplings for Air
A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately or in a set) that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them if you need frequent access to a line. They are also known as industrial interchange couplings. All Industrial plugs are compatible with any of the Industrial sockets of the same coupling size, regardless of the pipe size or barbed hose ID.
Brass is softer than other metals, so it’s easier to thread together. It has good corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance, so it’s the best choice for high-humidity environments.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.

Plugs are also known as nipples.
Plugs and sockets with a clamp-on/crimp-on barbed end insert into rubber hose and secure with a clamp or a crimp-on hose ferrule.

Sockets have a shut-off valve that stops the flow when the coupling is separated, so air won’t leak from the line.
Plugs and sockets with a clamp-on/crimp-on barbed end insert into rubber hose and secure with a clamp or a crimp-on hose ferrule.
Push-to-connect sockets join by forcefully pushing the plug and socket together until you hear a click. Unlike sleeve-lock sockets, you should not slide back the sleeve to connect. To disconnect, slide the sleeve on the socket forward until the plug ejects.

Metal Push-On Barbed Hose Fittings for Air and Water
Fittings have sharper barbs than standard barbed hose fittings to grip rubber push-on hose with no clamps or ferrules required. The more you pull on the fittings, the tighter the hose will grip.
Brass fittings are softer than other metal fittings, so they’re easier to thread together. They have good corrosion resistance.
Fittings that swivel until tightened rotate 360° for easy installation.
Fittings with a threaded end are also known as hose nipples.The optional installation tool (sold separately) allows you to connect large quantities of barbed fittings to push-on hose. Use the built-in cutter to squarely cut the hose without fraying. Next, lubricate either the push-on hose, fitting or both. Then, clamp the hose into the tool’s vise and apply light pressure on the handle to drive into the fitting.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.
Note: To ensure proper connection, the barbed end has to be pushed in all the way, with the hose end concealed by the ring.

Push-to-Connect Tube Fittings for Air
- Temperature Range: 0° to 170° F, except polybutylene plastic fittings are 32° to 140° F
- Tubing: Use with firm (Durometer 95A-45D) polyethylene plastic or polyurethane rubber
- Specifications Met: ISO 14743, except cartridges and polybutylene plastic fittings
Insert tubing into these fittings and an internal gripping ring and O-ring hold the tubing tight. They are also known as instant fittings. To disconnect, push on the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting. Fittings have good corrosion resistance. Use them in low-pressure applications.
Identification rings (sold separately) snap over the release ring so you can color-code your lines.
Clips (sold separately) align and organize your tubing and fittings.

37° Flared Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
- Tubing: Use with welded or seamless 304 or 316 stainless steel that meets ASTM A213, ASTM A249, or ASTM A269
- Specifications Met: ISO 8434, SAE J514, except fittings with BSPP and BSPT threads meet SAE J514 only
Also known as JIC (Joint Industrial Council) fittings, these provide a tight metal-to-metal seal on tubing that is flared to 37°. They withstand high pressure, so they’re often used in hydraulic applications. Made from 316 stainless steel, they resist corrosion from water and chemicals. A complete fitting requires a nut and a sleeve (ferrule) for each tube end. Nuts and sleeves are sold separately.

Fittings that swivel until tightened have a built-in nut that rotates 360° for easy installation.
Fittings with female tube end have an internal flare that mates with the male tube end of another fitting.

Yor-Lok Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
A nut with two sleeves (ferrules) gives these fittings extra gripping power. The sleeves bite into tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong seal. Also known as instrumentation fittings, they are made to tight tolerances for use in high-precision applications. They are compatible with Swagelok®, Let-Lok, and A-Lok fittings.
316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.
