PIPE FITTINGS

Pipe Elbow: - Elbows are the most common type of pipe fittings used. Pipe elbows give the flexibility to change a pipe’s direction. 90 and 45 degree elbows are commonly used. However, angles can be adjusted as per requirement.   • Reducing Elbow: - The reducing pipe helps in changing direction, as well as reducing the size of a pipe within a system. Also, the gradual reduction in diameter of this kind of elbows helps in preventing stream turbulence and internal corrosion.   • Pipe Reducer: - Pipe reducers help in reducing the diameter of a pipe. Two types of pipe reducers include  Concentric and eccentric pipe reducers.   • Stub-ends: - Stub-ends are generally used with lap-joint flanges. The stub is butt welded to the pipe and the flange is left free to move over the stub end.   • Pipe Nipple: - Pipe nipple is threaded at both or at least one end. Nipples are applied on low-pressure piping and used for connecting pipes, as well as valves.
