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 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.
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.
