The popular pipe fitting types
Pipe fittings are available in various shapes, sizes and materials.
Barbed Fittings:They slide into soft tubing. For low-pressure installations, tubing elasticity holds the tubing onto the fitting. |
Threaded Pipe Fittings:These are the most commonly used fittings based on certain standards. For instance, there are threaded fittings of pipes in BSP (British Standard Pipe), NPT (National Pipe Taper), UNF (Unified Fine Thread) sizes for permanent, high-pressure pipe connections. |
Cam Fittings:They are considered to be quick-disconnecting fittings which are used with pipes and hoses. For instance, you can connect a female coupler to a male adapter and for a secure connection, pull down the arms. These fittings are capable of withstanding high-pressure applications. |
Quick Disconnect Fittings:These fittings make and break tubing connections without separating tubing from fitting. |
Chromatography Fittings:These fittings are designed for HPLC and other high-pressure applications and they can withstand pressures as high as 1000 psi. |
Compression Fittings:These fittings have a nut that compresses rigid tubing against fitting body and are mainly used for high-pressure applications. |
