Pipe fittings help the flow of liquids or gas. They are used to connect systems of straight pieces of pipe and can change the direction of flow. Fittings can also assist flow through diameter changes between sections of piping. There are many different types of fittings and these can all be made out of different materials. Common Types of pipe fittings

Our press-fit fittings range includes connectors, reducers, tees, elbows, couplers & more from top brands such as IBP Conex >B<, Pegler and BESt. If there's a copper or brass end feed capillary fitting you need, BES has it. Our unbeatable collection includes elbow fittings, tee joints, reducers, stop ends & more.Elbow - These fittings are installed between two pipes to create a change of direction. They have either a 90 or 45 degree bend in the centre. RS have a great range of pipe fittings which are easy to use and can change the direction of the water flow. Pipe fittings offer watertight seals making them essential for plumbing and pipeline applications. What are threaded pipe fittings?

We pride ourselves on having everything covered when it comes to pipe fittings. Our full range includes: Our high-quality compression fittings selection includes adaptors, couplers, elbows, nuts, olives, stop ends, tees, tank connectors & many more. Brass Oyster™ converters are available in our range of Oyster System. Suitable for use on heating and potable water systems, Oyster converters connect copper tubes to female threaded fittings, radiators and valves. All the pipe fittings to get the job done They have been designed to join piping systems by coupling thread ended pipes and accessories available as male thread and female thread connector types and a selection of thread standards to choose from e.g.: BSP, NPT or G. Threaded joints are mainly used on smaller diameters pipes in non-critical applications such as domestic oil, gas, air conditioning, heating ventilation installations but can also be seen in pneumatic, automotive applications. Common types of threaded fittings are 90° elbows, 45° elbows, tees, straight fittings, square head plugs, hex head plugs, reducers, adaptors, flanges, caps, bushings. Threaded fittings systems ensure leak-tight connections in all low-pressure, low-temperature installations where vibration is not encountered. What does DZ on brass fittings mean?PVC & ABS – light and non-toxic. They have more 'give' than copper therefore when water freezes and expands in the piping there is little chance of it busting. PEX – Cross-linked high-density polyethylene (PEX) is ductile and tough and works well in very low temperatures. When installing be aware that it can expand drastically and it needs to be shielded when used outdoors because it is susceptible to UV.

Brass pipe fittings are suitable for connecting copper tubes, stainless steel tubes and plastic pipes that have compatible outside diameters. Pipe fittings have various connection types including compression, push fit, threaded and solder and are ideal for all plumbing work. Pipe fittings can be made in many different materials. Some materials are better for some functions than others:At BES, we offer a comprehensive range of refrigeration fittings, including tees, elbows, reducers, and end caps. Iron – Malleable (ductile) iron is a good choice in industry because it is stronger than copper and plastic but it is rarely used in domestic installations.
