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 Pipe and Pipe Fittings

These fittings are made to tighter tolerances than other stainless steel pipe fittings. They are also known as instrumentation fittings.

Use these fittings in extreme-pressure conditions up to 15,000 psi.

Use these heavy duty, corrosion-resistant fittings in high-pressure flow applications.

Typically used with medium- to high-pressure stainless steel threaded pipe fittings.

Socket-connect fittings are easier to weld than butt-weld fittings because the fitting doesn't need to align perfectly to the pipe. Slip the pipe into the socket and weld.

These fittings are strong enough to handle extreme pressures, yet small enough to fit into cramped spaces.

Made to tighter tolerances than other steel pipe fittings, these are also known as instrumentation fittings.

These fittings can stand up to high-pressure applications. Use them in noncorrosive environments.

A galvanized finish gives these fittings better corrosion resistance than our plain steel high-pressure fittings. Also known as Pressure Class 3000 fittings.

When you're unsure of the exact thread type you need, these fittings have universal threads that are compatible with the most common ones (NPT,NPTF,BSPP,BSPT).

Manifolds

Distribute air or fluid to multiple locations from a single supply source with these manifolds. They are also known as headers.

Designed for ultra-clean environments, these manifolds are cleaned,dried, and vacuum sealed in plastic to prevent dirt and moisture from contaminating the inside. Use them to distribute air or fluid to multiple locations from a single supply source. Also known as headers.

These manifolds have two separate sections inside, so you can run two different substances through them without worrying about them intermixing. Also known as headers.

Unlike other manifolds, which have an inlet on either end, these have one inlet on the opposite side from the outlets. This design allows air or fluid to follow a straight path, improving flow through your system. Also known as headers.

When you’re short on vertical space, these manifolds are a good fit—they have outlets on the side instead of on top, so they have a lower profile than rectangular manifolds. Use them to distribute air or fluid to five locations from a single supply source.

Mount these manifolds on the end of a hose line to distribute air,water, or hydraulic fluid to three locations from a single supply source.

With outlets on the side instead of on top, these manifolds have a lower profile than rectangular manifolds and fit well in cramped spaces. Use them to distribute air or fluid to three locations from a single supply source.

Expansion Joint Reducers with Flanged Ends

Connect different pipe sizes in your line while adding a point of flexibility between them. These expansion joints absorb movement between two connected pipes to reduce stress,vibration, and noise.

Tube Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing

Use these fittings at pressures up to 9,700 psi. Also known as instrumentation fittings, they are made to tight tolerances for use in high-precision applications. They are compatible with Swagelok®, Let-Lok, and Parker A-Lok fittings.

The threads on the tube end of these fittings are Class 3A or 3B and adhere to tighter tolerances than other 37° flared fittings.

A PTFE seal on the tube end of these fittings allows for an extra-strong connection in high-vibration applications.

Also known as JIC (Joint Industrial Council)fittings, these provide a tight metal-to-metal seal on stainless steel tubing that is flared to 37°.

A single sleeve (ferrule) bites into tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong seal. The nut and sleeve are included.

Tube Fittings for Copper and Brass Tubing

Also known as instrumentation fittings, these are made to tighter tolerances than standard compression fittings. They are compatible with Parker CPI fittings.

Create a strong connection without heating,flaring, or soldering.

A nut with two sleeves (ferrules) gives these fittings extra gripping power. The sleeves bite into tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong seal.

Tube Fittings for Steel Tubing

Also known as JIC (Joint Industrial Council)fittings, these provide a tight metal-to-metal seal on steel tubing that is flared to 37°.

These fittings have two sleeves for extra gripping power. They bite into steel tubing as you tighten the nut to form a strong seal.

Hose Fittings

Fittings are threaded on both ends so you can connect them directly to a threaded hose or to pumps,cylinders, and other equipment in your hydraulic system.

Couplings are metal, which has better durability than plastic cam-and-groove hose couplings. They consist of a plug and a socket that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them if you need frequent access to a line. To connect, insert the plug into the socket and push the levers down.

Hydraulic Valves

To set the pressure, unscrew the cap and turn the adjusting screw.

An external nut lets you adjust the pressure without disassembling the valve.

The pressure setting on these valves cannot be adjusted while they are installed.

When input pressure varies, use these valves to maintain a consistent pressure.

These valves maintain a consistent pressure in a system when input pressure varies.

Set a specific pressure and these valves will maintain it by diverting excess fluid to a tank.
