- A coupling (or coupler) (used in piping or plumbing) is a very short length of pipe or tube, with a socket at one or both ends that allows two pipes or tubes to be joined, threaded, welded (steel), brazed or soldered (copper, brass etc.) together
- Plugs are fittings that provide flow control by plugging branches and outlets
- Roundhead, hex head and square head plugs are plugged with a round threaded or round smooth end connection and a round, hex, or square head (respectively). The diameter of the round head plug is the same on the top and the bottom, therefore, however, the diameters differ between the top and bottom for hex and square head plugs
- In plumbing and piping, a nipple is a fitting, consisting of a short piece of pipe, usually provided with a male pipe thread at each end, for connecting two other fittings
- Bushes are hollow plugs with threads on the outside and the inside. They allow for pipe reductions by threading the bush into a female thread and then threading the small pipe size into the centre of the bush. This versatility works well in troubleshooting complex piping systems
- Fitting Type: Elbow 90 Deg Male x Female
- In plumbing and piping, a nipple is a fitting, consisting of a short piece of pipe, usually provided with a male pipe thread at each end, for connecting two other fittings
- Pipe Tee is a type of pipe fitting which is T-shaped having two outlets, at 90° to the connection to the mainline
- It is a short piece of pipe with a lateral outlet
- Pipe Tee is used to connect pipelines with a pipe at a right angle with the line
- Pipe Tees are widely used as pipe fittings
