Types of Stainless Steel Fittings and their Uses

The stainless fittings They are the best alternative for making a piping system. Currently, there is a wide variety of threaded accessories that will allow the manufacture of these piping systems in an easy way.

Therefore, it is very important to know the types of threaded fittings and their uses.

  • Crosses. They are used to form branches in two different directions within the pipe system.
  • Elbows. They allow the direction of the pipe to be changed from 90º to 120º, thus allowing curves to be made in them.
  • Sleeves and bosses. They allow the pipe to be connected to continue the system in a straight line. There are reducing sleeves that allow different pipe sizes to be coupled, expanding or reducing the passage of the system.
  • Plugs or caps. They allow you to hermetically seal the end points of the system or temporarily close it in different specific areas.
  • Union nuts. Unions are used to connect flexible hose.
  • Adapters or nozzlesThey have a similar purpose to reducing sleeves, as they are designed to make a transition between pipes of different types.
  • Teas. They are used when a branch from the main road is required, i.e. making a fork in the pipeline system.
