EXPERT PIPE FITTING SERVICE

What is a pipe fitting?

Pipe fittings are parts that are used to connect pipe segments to other fluid control equipment, like valves and pumps, to build pipelines. When people talk about “fittings,” they usually mean the parts that go on metal and plastic pipes that carry fluids.
‍
Different types of pipe fittings can be used to join pipes or attach handrails and other building components, where a leak-free connection is not required. These fittings are commonly constructed from PVC, iron, brass, and copper materials. Additionally, based on the material of the pipe, welded, threaded, mechanically attached, or chemically bonded fittings can be used.

Elbows

Used to alter the pipe run’s angle or direction. More frequently in 45 and 90-degree turns. The fitting’s sweep indicates how quickly a transition or direction change is made.

Street Elbows

The pipe fitting features female threads on one end and male threads on the other. These are typical for copper pipe and galvanized steel. They are useful because you don’t have to use a nipple and they work well in small spaces.

Street Elbows

Basically what the name says, it is a pipe fitting in the form of a “T”. It enables branch lines.

Couplings

These connect two identical-diameter straight lengths of pipe.

Bushings

These are used to reduce the diameter of a pipe fitting. They differ from reducers since they take up less area and abruptly change the diameter.

Unions

Where pipes cannot be rotated or when a piece of equipment may need to be withdrawn for repair or replacement, unions are used to link the sections of the pipe.

Adapter Fittings

These are utilized to convert a non-threaded pipe’s end to either male or female threads as necessary.

Caps

They are applied to seal a dead-end pipe.

Plugs

Used to seal off the end of a pipe fitting that is typically used for cleaning or inspection.

Nipples

Tiny segments of pipe with threads on both ends.

Wyes

Mainly used to obtain access to DWV (drain-waste-vent) systems from the inside.

Valves

Valves are tools that regulate how much liquid or gas flows into or out of a pipe. (ball valves, sleeve-cartridge valves, ceramic disc valves, compression valves, etc.).

PVC Fittings

There are many different kinds of PVC fittings, and they can be threaded or bonded.

Copper Tubing Fittings

Compression fittings should be employed with copper tubing. Ells, tees, and couplings are common fittings.

Why should you use a professional for pipe fitting?

A pipe fitter is a skilled plumber that does pipe installation, upkeep, and repairs on large industrial projects. They shape metals like stainless steel or other alloys and a variety of pipe types through welding and bending to meet industrial specifications.

They manipulate pipe and metal in different ways, like threading, cutting, grinding, welding, bending, soldering, rigging, etcetera. Pipe fitters are involved in every step of the process, from planning to installation. They use welding equipment like cutting torches and hand and power tools to do their jobs.

Specialization

Pipe fitters are a unique type of plumber due to the fact that they focus primarily on welding rather than plumbing or sanitation. Pipe fitters frequently work in quite different settings than plumbers do, the work that pipe fitters conduct is of critical importance to industrial businesses. Plumbers are not required to deal with the conditions that pipe fitters do.
