Piping Connection Types – The Basics

Piping Connection Types – The Basics

In piping systems, fittings are the key to directing and connecting flow.

➡️ Elbow – Changes the direction of flow (usually 45° or 90°)

➡️ Tee – Splits or combines flow in three directions

➡️ Cross – Connects four pipes at right angles

➡️ Coupling – Joins two pipes together in a straight line

➡️ Reducer – Connects pipes of different diameters

➡️ Union – Like a coupling, but allows easy disassembly

➡️ Cap / Plug – Closes the end of a pipe

⚙️ Choosing the right connection ensures efficiency, safety, and durability of the system.
