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.

Male-Female Round Universal Thread Adapters with Through Hole
Connect male- and female-threaded parts of different thread types and sizes, while allowing air, liquids, wire, or other thin materials to pass through. Attach your parts to these adapters and use a hex key to secure the connection. Made of 304 stainless steel, all will hold up in wet environments. O-rings on each side create a tight seal, making them good for vacuum and compressed-air applications.

Male Round Universal Thread Adapters with Through Hole
Join two female-threaded parts of various thread types and sizes, while allowing air, liquids, wire, or other thin materials to pass through. Attach your parts to these adapters and use a hex key to secure the connection. Made of 304 stainless steel, all will hold up in wet environments. O-rings on each side create a tight seal, making them good for vacuum and compressed-air applications.

Plastic Pipe Fittings for Oil
Made of corrosion-resistant plastic, these fittings won’t deteriorate when used in oil applications. They also have high strength and impact resistance. Apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant to the male threads to prevent leaks. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic threaded connections. When making a threaded connection be careful not to overtighten the threads. To prevent cracks and leaks, finger tighten the fitting, then wrench-tighten one to two turns.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

Nuts for High-Pressure Nipples for Compressed Gas
Slide a high-pressure hose nipple for compressed gas into one of these nuts to connect a pipe to the inlet of a pressure regulator. They are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) nuts and inlet nuts.
Brass nuts have good corrosion resistance and are softer than 316 stainless steel nuts, so they're easier to thread together. Aluminum-plated brass nuts have better corrosion and wear resistance than unplated brass.
Note: Nuts have a CGA, BS, or DIN number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a nut with the same number as your tank and other system components.
