Pipe fittings are crucial components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will affect the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
