PEX & Multilayer Pipe Accessories
Pipe fittings serve as crucial components or connectors within plumbing systems, facilitating the connection, redirection, or termination of liquid or gas flow between pipes. These fittings come in diverse sizes, designs, and materials, catering to a wide range of plumbing needs.
Here's an overview of common types of pipe fittings and their respective functions:
1. Elbows: Elbows are used to modify the flow direction between two pipes, with variations available in angles of 45 and 90 degrees.
2. Tees: Featuring a "T" shape, tees are equipped with three openings (one inlet and two outlets) to create branch connections.
3. Couplings: These fittings are employed to connect pipes of the same diameter in a straight line, aiding in the repair of broken or leaking pipes.
4. Adapters: Adapters facilitate the connection between pipes of different types and enable the conversion of a pipe end into a male or female thread. They are commonly utilized for PVC and copper pipes.
5. Nipples: Nipples are fittings featuring male threads on both ends and are used to connect two female threaded pipes or fittings.
Additional types of pipe fittings include crosses, caps, valves, wyes, and flanges, each serving specific plumbing requirements.
