Standard threaded fittings: the foundation of industrial piping systems
These classic forms provide fundamental connections for most piping layouts, ensuring reliable fluid and gas transfer.
- Couplings: Essential for joining two lengths of pipe with the same diameter, providing a secure and permanent connection in a straight run.
- Half Couplings: Used for creating branch connections off a main pipe or for reinforcing pipe ends, often welded to a vessel or larger pipe before the branch is threaded in.
- Elbow Fittings 90°: Designed to change the direction of flow by 90 degrees, critical for navigating around obstacles and designing compact layouts.
- Elbows 45° : Offer a smoother directional change than 90° elbows, reducing pressure drop and turbulence in the system.
- Crosses: Enable a four-way connection, allowing fluid to be distributed or collected from four different directions simultaneously.
- Caps: Used to permanently or temporarily seal the end of a pipe run, preventing leakage and protecting against contamination.
- Unions: These crucial components allow for easy disconnection of pipes for maintenance, replacement, or system modification without having to cut the pipe, offering a versatile and reusable connection point.
Reductions
These fittings are vital for transitioning between different pipe diameters, maintaining system continuity and efficiency.
- Insert and Bushing: Bushings are used to reduce the size of a connection. An insert bushing provides a similar function, allowing for precision reduction and adaptation within existing threaded ports.
Nipples & Swages
Nipples and swages are versatile components for extending or transitioning pipe sizes.
- Pipe Nipples: Short pieces of pipe, typically with male threads at both ends, used to connect other fittings or to extend a pipe run. They come in various lengths and thread configurations.
- Stainless Steel Hex Nipples: Distinguished by their hexagonal body, allowing for easy tightening with a wrench. Made from stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments.
- Pipe Nipples and Swages: Swages are typically used to reduce a line bore, often combining different pipe schedules or sizes. When threaded, they provide a robust solution for transitioning between pipes of varying diameters.
Threaded plugs
Plugs are used to seal off threaded openings, ensuring leak-tight closure and system integrity.
- Hexagonal Head Plugs: Easy to install and remove with a wrench, these plugs are ideal for sealing unused ports or for temporary closures in NPT threaded systems.
- Square Head Plugs: Provide a secure and robust seal, often used in applications where a higher torque can be applied for tightening.
- Round Head Plugs: Offer a smooth, flush finish for applications where aesthetics or minimal protrusion is desired.
Olet / Branch Fittings (NPT Threaded)
Olets are specialized branch connection fittings that provide a high-integrity, reinforced connection for smaller branch lines off a main pipe, especially in high-pressure or critical systems. Our Olets are available in NPT threaded versions for robust mechanical connections.
- Megalets SW/NPT: Typically used for socket weld branches with a threaded end (NPT) for connecting auxiliary lines.
- Latromegalets SW/NPT: Designed for 45-degree lateral branch connections, providing structural reinforcement and a threaded NPT outlet.
- Elbomegalets SW/NPT: Used for branch connections on elbows, offering excellent reinforcement and a threaded NPT interface.
