Industrial pipe fittings can provide big benefits in various environments. However, to ensure the best results, you must pick a proper fitting that’s specifically engineered for a certain application.
Steel Pipe Fittings
If you need fittings for equipment in the food and dairy industry, stainless steel pipe fittings are highly recommended. These fittings are quite convenient because they have quick-connect clamps. The clamps provide key advantages when internal cleaning procedures are implemented. You can connect stainless steel fittings to an existing pipeline, or you could use them to build up new pipelines.
Aluminum Pipe Fittings
Aluminum pipe fittings and stainless steel fittings are available in similar shapes and sizes. However, because aluminum has different properties, you could easily secure aluminum fittings onto pipes with welding equipment. Aluminum fittings can connect railings on commercial properties.
Concrete Pipe Fittings
Concrete pipe fittings are very strong, so they’re always used during civil projects that involve stormwater management. Most concrete fittings have a standard wye connection.
Specialized fittings are options as well. You’ll find them in various styles, and they’re all designed with utility hole portals.
Plastic Pipe Fittings
Plastic industrial pipe fittings have two formats. The most common format is called a solvent weld, and the second option is a thread-style fitting. Many crews select solvent weld plastic pipe fittings since they’re easier to install.
Thread Pipe Options
American National Standard Pipe Threads and British Standard Pipe Threads are the main thread types. NPT and BSPT fittings have a different taper angle.
