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.

Quick-Disconnect Hose Couplings for Steam
Use these couplings for low-pressure steam heating, humidification, and washdown applications up to 300 psi. A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them when you need frequent access to a line. All of the quick-disconnect steam plugs are compatible with any of the quick-disconnect steam sockets of the same coupling size, regardless of the pipe size. Plugs and sockets are brass for good corrosion resistance.
Plugs are also known as nipples.
Sockets have a shut-off valve that stops the flow when the coupling is separated, so steam won’t leak from the line. They swivel before and after installation as needed to prevent hose kinking. Sockets are push-to-connect style. To connect, push the plug into the socket until you hear a click. To disconnect, slide the sleeve on the socket back until the plug ejects.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.

Interlocking-Clamp Hose Fittings for Steam
Also known as ground-joint couplings and boss couplings, these fittings are designed for high-pressure steam heating, humidification, and washdown applications. Insert the barbed end of the fitting into rubber hose, then position the interlocking clamp over the hose and bolt into place with a torque wrench. The clamp firmly grips the hose as it locks into the ring of the barbed end, creating a leak tight seal. The interlocking clamps are not reusable. Fittings are strong and durable with fair corrosion resistance.
Fittings with a female threaded end have a hex bushing (also known as a female spud) that connects to a male interlocking-clamp hose fitting. Replace the hex bushing with a hex nipple (sold separately) to connect two female fittings; the hex nipples are also known as double spuds.
Warning: There is no valve in these couplings. Stop the flow of steam before you disconnect the hose line.

Barbed Hose Fittings for Steam
Use these barbed fittings in low-pressure steam heating, humidification, and washdown applications up to 150 psi. Slide the barbed end into plastic or rubber hose and secure with a clamp. Also known as hose nipples, they adapt a barbed end to a threaded end.
Zinc-plated steel fittings have fair corrosion resistance and are stronger and more durable than other metal fittings. Aluminum fittings are lighter in weight than other metal fittings and have good corrosion resistance. 303/304 stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance, so they’re the best choice for high-humidity environments.
