In daily life, we often see various types of pipe fittings in various places, and home decoration cannot do without the function of pipe fittings. So how much do you actually know about pipe fittings? Follow me to learn more about it!

A pipe fitting is a component that connects a pipe into a pipeline, typically serving as a connection, direction change, control, diversion, support, seal, and other functions. According to the connection method, pipe fittings can generally be divided into threaded pipe fittings, welded pipe fittings, flange pipe fittings, and socket type pipe fittings, and their materials are generally the same as those of pipes. Common pipe fittings include reducers, tees, crosses, flanges, elbows, etc.

Reducing pipe, as the name suggests, is commonly used at the connection of two pipes with different diameters.

A three-way pipe is used at the connection of three pipes, with an outer diameter range of about 2.5 "-60" and an inner wall thickness of generally 28-60mm. There are two types of three-way pipes, one with equal diameters at the three ends is an equal diameter three-way pipe, commonly represented by a "T+number". For example, T5 represents an equal diameter three-way pipe with an outer diameter of 5 inches; A reducing tee with the same diameter at both ends but different diameter at the confluence end from the other two is commonly represented by "T+number x number x number". For example, "T3x3x2.5" represents a three inch reducing tee with a diameter of 2.5 inches.

Four way pipes are the same and are generally used at the confluence of four pipes.

The flange is generally connected to the top of the pipe.
