Pipe Hose Plumbing Fittings

Pipe / Hose Plumbing fittings are components used to connect pipes and hoses of different materials or sizes within a plumbing system. These fittings play a crucial role in ensuring a secure and leak-free connection between rigid pipes and flexible hoses, allowing for the efficient transportation of fluids, such as water, gases, or chemicals.

These fittings are commonly used in various industries and applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems, as well as in agricultural, manufacturing, and construction settings. Some common types of pipe-hose plumbing fittings include:

Adapters:Adapters are fittings that connect pipes to hoses with different diameters or thread types. They typically have one end with pipe threads (male or female) and the other end with hose barbs or other hose connection types.
Couplings:Couplings are fittings that connect two pieces of pipe or hose together. Pipe-to-hose couplings can be used to extend or repair plumbing systems, and they often feature threads or other connectors on each end.
Barbed Fittings:These fittings have barbed ends that are designed to be inserted into the inner diameter of a flexible hose, providing a secure grip. They are commonly used with hoses that do not have threaded connections.
Quick-Connect Fittings:Quick-connect fittings are designed for easy and fast connection and disconnection between pipes and hoses. They often incorporate a locking mechanism that ensures a tight seal without the need for additional tools.
Compression Fittings:Compression fittings utilize a compression nut and ferrule to create a watertight seal between the pipe and hose. These fittings are often used with softer materials like plastic or rubber hoses.
Threaded Fittings:Threaded pipe-hose fittings have threads on one end that match the threading of the pipe, while the other end is designed for attaching hoses. These fittings require careful threading to ensure a proper seal.
Flare Fittings:Flare fittings feature a conical end that is flared out to match the hose or pipe’s connection end. These fittings are commonly used in high-pressure applications.
