Fittings Buying Guide

When selecting fittings, consider the materials they are made from, as this determines their compatibility with different fluids and environments.

Pressure and temperature ratings are critical to ensure the fitting performs safely under operational conditions. It's also essential to select the appropriate size to match your tubing or piping system.

  • Verify the material's resistance to chemicals and temperature extremes.
  • Ensure pressure ratings meet or exceed system requirements.
  • Check for appropriate connection types for your existing setup.
  • Consider any necessary certifications for quality assurance and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are commonly used in fittings?
Fittings are commonly made from materials such as stainless steel, brass, or various polymers, each selected based on pressure and temperature compatibility.
How do I choose the right fitting size?
Fitting sizes are selected based on the outer diameter of the tubing or pipe they will connect, ensuring compatibility and leak-free connections.
What is the importance of pressure ratings in fittings?
Pressure ratings indicate the maximum pressure a fitting can withstand, ensuring safety and efficacy under operating conditions.
Can fittings be used with corrosive liquids?
Yes, provided the fitting material is compatible with the corrosive liquids and the system's temperature and pressure requirements.
