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.

Crimp these fittings onto steel pipe to form a tightly sealed connection that’s faster than threading or welding and doesn’t require heat. An internal gripping ring and rubber O-ring create a secure seal when crimped. They are designed to leak if fittings have not been crimped; a colored dot marks the leak path so it's easy to spot unsealed connections. These steel fittings are coated in zinc-nickel to resist corrosion, but will rust if frequently exposed to saltwater or harsh chemicals. They are comparable to Viega MegaPress steel fittings.
Fittings meet ASME B31 code requirements for use in pressure piping systems.
Buna-N rubber O-rings hold up to natural gas, propane, diesel fuel, lubricants, and other oils. Fittings with these O-rings are often used in fuel gas systems and air lines. They meet the ANSI LC4/CSA 6.32 standard for fuel gas systems and comply with the International Fuel Gas Code.
Connectors with center stop have a small internal ridge that prevents the pipe from sliding too far into the fitting. Insert the pipe on each side of the connection up to the center stop to ensure a tight seal.
Unions separate into three pieces. Unscrew and remove the center nut for quick access to a line.

Inline tees are also known as branch tees.

Crimping tools seal fittings in less than five seconds. These tools are cordless, so you can take them to any job. Connect the jaw or ring that matches your pipe size to these tools, then pull the trigger to crimp the fitting. The pivoting head lets you access connections from any angle.

Jaw and ring sets include three jaws, three rings, and one ring actuator jaw. Jaws are for pipe sizes 1/2 to 1; they fit directly into the crimping tool. Rings are for pipe sizes 1 1/4 to 2; clip the ring around the fitting and use the ring actuator jaw and crimping tool to press the open ends together.
