Pipe fittings are essential components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will determine the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, and come in a wide range of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules based on pipe wall thickness.
