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.

Metal Barbed Hose Fittings for Air and Water

Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with the appropriate clamp or crimp-on hose ferrule.

Brass fittings are softer than other metal fittings, so they’re easier to thread together. Plain brass fittings have good corrosion resistance.Bronze fittings have better corrosion resistance and are stronger than brass and aluminum fittings.Aluminum fittings are lighter in weight than other metal fittings. They have good corrosion resistance.

Stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel fittings won’t rust when exposed to water, making them good for areas that require frequent cleanings. Fittings that swivel until tightened rotate 360° for easy installation. Fittings with a threaded end are also known as hose nipples.

Hose connectors are also known as hose menders and splicers. Use them to connect lengths of hose or to repair damaged hose.

Female NPSM (National Pipe Straight Mechanical) threads are compatible with male NPT and NPTF threads. Male NPSM threads are compatible with female NPSH threads.

Easy-Fit Barbed Hose Fittings for Air and Water

Low-profile barbs and a longer first barb allow for a smoother, easier installation than other barbed fittings. Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with a clamp.

Steel fittings are stronger and more durable than other metal fittings. They should be used in noncorrosive environments. Zinc-plated steel fittings have slightly better corrosion resistance than unplated steel fittings. Aluminum fittings are lighter in weight than other metal fittings. They have good corrosion resistance. Brass fittings are softer than other metal fittings, so they’re easier to thread together. They have good corrosion resistance.

Fittings with a threaded end are also known as hose nipples.

Hose connectors are also known as hose menders and splicers. Use them to connect lengths of hose or to repair damaged hose.

Metal Cam-and-Groove Hose Couplings for Water

A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that allow you to quickly connect and disconnect medium-to large-diameter hose lines. To connect, insert the plug into the socket and press the levers down. The levers fit snugly into the groove on the plug’s body and force the plug against the gasket to form a tight seal. To disconnect, lift both levers and pull out the plug.

Plugs with barbed end are also known as E adapters. Insert the barbed end into plastic or rubber hose and secure with a clamp.

Couplings with locking levers prevent accidental disconnection. The locks engage automatically when the coupling is connected. Press the locks simultaneously to disengage.

Straight sockets with barbed end are also known as C couplers. Insert the barbed end into plastic or rubber hose and secure with a clamp.

Aluminum couplings are lighter in weight than brass plugs and sockets. They have good abrasion and corrosion resistance. Brass couplings are softer than aluminum plugs and sockets, so they’re easier to thread together. They have good corrosion resistance.

Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.

Warning: Relieve all pressure before disconnecting the couplings. Do not use cam-and-groove couplings with compressed air or gas.

Aluminum plugs and sockets are lighter in weight than 316 stainless steel plugs and sockets. They have good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel plugs and sockets have excellent corrosion resistance.

Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.
