Fittings

Complete Guide to Connectors, Couplings and Plumbing Parts

The Fittings category brings together a wide selection of fittings and related components designed for plumbing, heating, gas, and industrial fluid systems. Here you will find pipe fittings, couplings, elbows, tees, adapters, valves, compression and push-fit connectors, as well as specialty pieces for HVAC and irrigation. Each product is described with technical details to help professionals and DIY enthusiasts choose the right part for installation or repair.

Types and Variants of Fittings

Fittings vary by design, material and connection method. Understanding the main types helps you quickly locate the correct item for your project.

• Material-based:
  • Brass — durable and corrosion-resistant, common for potable water and gas.
  • Stainless steel — high strength and chemical resistance for industrial use.
  • Plastic (PVC, CPVC, PEX) — lightweight and cost-effective for drainage and water supply.
• Connection method:
  • Threaded (BSP/NPT) — standard for many mechanical systems.
  • Compression — reliable for metal and plastic tubing without soldering.
  • Push-fit — fast, tool-free installation for repair or retrofit.
  • Soldered/Brazed — permanent, used in copper piping and HVAC refrigerant lines.
• Functional forms:
  • Elbows, Tees, Crosses — change direction or split flow.
  • Reducers and Adapters — connect different sizes or types of pipes.
  • Valves and Stops — control flow and provide shut-off points.

Where Fittings Are Used

Fittings are essential across residential, commercial and industrial settings. Common applications include:

• Household plumbing: water supply, drainage and fixtures.
• Heating systems: radiators, boilers and underfloor heating circuits.
• HVAC and refrigeration: refrigerant lines and condensate drains.
• Irrigation and agriculture: durable connectors for outdoor systems.
• Process and manufacturing: chemical, pneumatic and hydraulic lines.

How to Choose the Right Fitting

Selecting the right fitting reduces leaks and avoids premature failures. Follow these practical steps:

Measure and match

Confirm pipe diameter and wall thickness, and match thread type (BSP vs NPT) or connection standard for compatibility.

Consider material and environment

Choose brass or stainless for corrosive or high-temperature conditions; plastics for non-pressurized or cold-water lines.

Check pressure and temperature ratings

Verify operating limits and certifications (e.g., WRAS, NSF) for potable water or gas systems.

Installation and maintenance

Decide whether you need a quick push-fit, a reusable compression joint, or a permanent soldered connection based on access and serviceability.
