  1. Pipe Adapter - A pipe adapter is a fitting which is used to connect pipes of different materials or pipes which require different joining methods. For example, it can join a pipe that is threaded to a pipe or tube that is not threaded. It is one of the most important types of pipe fittings.

    r

  2. Pipe Cap- A pipe cap is a fitting with a female (inside) thread. Is used as a plug if the pipe cap screws on the male thread of a pipe or nipple.

    k

  3. Coupling-Flexible- Coupling Flexible connects the rotating members also allowing some degree of angular or parallel misalignment.

    q

  4. Rigid Coupling - Rigid coupling provides reliable holding power and maintain alignment when no movement is required. They are ideal for unsupported shafts, shafts running at high speeds and vertical shafts with suspended loads.

    w

  5. Cross Fittings - Cross fittings connect four pipe sections together.

    r

  6. 45 degree elbow- Is called as "45 bends or 45 ells”, typically made in the form of LR (Long Radius) elbows.

    a

  7. 90 degree elbow- Is called as “90 bends or 90 ells", They are also made in long radius. Short radius elbows are used in tight areas where clearances are an issue.

    s

  8. Elbow-Other Angle- Elbows with different angles are available and they are used in pressurized applications in industries.

    q

  9. Elbow Reducing - Reducing Elbows are a reducing piece and elbows combined into one. They are used to change the direction and quantity of flow in pipe systems.

    s

  10. End Bell- It is used in concrete vault wall in order to provide a smooth, safe entrance to the conduit outside. They also protect wiring which is being pulled through the vault wall. An End bell is a socket which ideally suits to connect one end of the pipe to the one end of the other pipe.

    s

  11. Expansion coupling – They are the devices which have a elbow or airtight chamber that absorb movement, stress, noise and vibration to protect pipe or duct fittings.

    f

  12. Pipe Ferrule- is a type of metal object which consist of a circular clamp used to hold together and attach fibers, wires or posts. A pipe ferrule is a ring or cap attached to an object to protect against damage, splitting or wear. It is also known as a circular fitting device that is used to hold the pipes together.

    d

  13. Pipe Flange -It is a connection which is used in pipe work and associated equipment to provide a means of assembling and disassembling components.

    s

  14. Pipe Nipple – It is a short pipe with a small opening which provides way for the liquids or gases to pass through the pipe. It has a male thread on each end and is used for extension from a fitting.

    d

  15. Pipe Offset – It is a combination of pipes and/or fittings which attaches one section of the pipe out of line but into a line, parallel with the other section.

    c

  16. Pipe Plug – It is used to stop the flow in a pipeline

    g

  17. Pipe Reducer – It is a fitting which is used to reduce the diameter of the suction piping to fit the pump intake.

    f

  18. Return / Trap - It is a pipe fitting that holds water in order to prevent any entry of sewer gases.

    f
  19. Pipe Union – It is fitting equipment that joins two pipes and can be detached without causing any deformation to the pipes.

    d

  20. Reducing Wye – It is used in connecting a reducing branch line into a horizontal drain pipe.
