Different Applications Of Pipe Fittings

Pipe fittings are components used to join pipe sections together with other fluid control products such as valves and pumps to form pipelines. Fittings are commonly associated with metal and plastic pipes used to transport fluids. Pipe fittings of other types can also be used to connect pipes for handrails and other architectural elements where a leak-proof connection is not required. Pipe fittings can be welded or threaded, mechanically joined, or chemically adhered, to name a few common mechanisms, depending on the material of the pipe.
