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.

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. Locknuts that meet DIN 431 comply with international standards for pipe fitting locknut dimensions.

NPTF (Dryseal) threads and NPSL (National Pipe Straight Locknut) threads are compatible with NPT threads.

Low-Pressure Plated Brass Threaded Pipe Fittings

Used in low-pressure pipe lines, these brass fittings have a plating that makes them shiny and improves corrosion resistance.

Chrome-plated brass fittings are shinier and withstand corrosion better than nickel-plated brass fittings.

Locknuts thread onto the male end of a fitting to provide extra holding power so the fitting won’t loosen from vibration.
