Low-Pressure Stainless Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
Use these fittings in a low-pressure pipe line.
Fittings that meet ANSI/MSS SP-114 adhere to high-quality standards for heat treating, material thickness, and marking. 304 stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.
Locknuts thread onto the male end of a fitting to provide extra holding power so the fitting won’t loosen from vibration.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads and NPSL (National Pipe Straight Locknut) threads are compatible with NPT threads.

Low-Pressure Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
Use these fittings for low-pressure applications in noncorrosive environments.
Adapters for tanks create an inlet or outlet connection on the surface of any tank, pressure vessel, or drum. Adapters with weld end allow for a permanent connection. Adapters with extension fit tightly into the hole, which keeps the fitting steady during welding.

Low-Pressure Aluminum Threaded Pipe Fittings
In addition to being lightweight, these aluminum fittings offer good corrosion resistance. Use them in low-pressure flow applications. To prevent cracking, do not tighten more than a 1/4-turn past hand tight.
Adapters for tanks weld onto the surface of any tank, pressure vessel, or drum to create a permanent inlet or outlet connection. Adapters with extended lip fit tightly into the hole, which keeps the fitting steady during welding.

Medium-Pressure Aluminum Threaded Pipe Fittings
Designed for medium-pressure applications, these fittings have better strength than our low-pressure aluminum pipe fittings. They are lightweight with good corrosion resistance.
Fittings with blue anodized finish have better corrosion resistance and a harder surface than plain aluminum fittings.
BSPP male threads have a gasket to protect against leaks.

Instead of a gasket, these fittings have a special ring that is designed for high-vacuum applications, such as vacuum coating and heat treating, leak testing, and analyzing gases. Also known as KF, QF, and NW fittings, they are the most common type of connection in high-vacuum systems. Connect with a clamp and another quick-clamp fitting for fast, easy access to your line. To use fittings in pressure applications, use a pressure-rated ring (sold separately).
304 stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance.
Note: To complete a connection, you’ll need two quick-clamp fittings, a ring, and a clamp (all sold separately).

Valves are also known as vacuum isolation valves. They connect to a vacuum system so you can install gauges, release gases, and remove air. They operate manually and have a compact body that fits easily into tight spaces.
