Types of stainless steel threaded pipe fittings

Different types of stainless steel threaded fittings include:

Nipples allows you to connect two other fittings

Elbow fittings are used to connect pipes at curved angles (such as 90 degree and 45 degree curves) depending on the model

Tee fittings are T-shaped fittings that are designed to connect three pipes

Solder fittings, also known as capillary fittings, are short sections of smooth pipe designed to slide over the outside of the mating tube. Solder wire is fed then around the edge of the fitting and heated to seal it. Stainless steel solder fittings benefit from the metals strength, resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning.

Straight fittings are available in several different forms. Some serve as connectors for two adjacent pipes, but others are end caps that are attached to the end of a single pipe.
