Tee (T): A fitting used to join three sections of pipe, allowing for a 90-degree branch from the main run.
Elbow (E or EL): A fitting used to change the direction of the pipe, typically available in 45-degree or 90-degree angles.
Coupling (CPL or COUP): A fitting used to join two sections of pipe in a straight line.
Union (UN): A fitting that connects two sections of pipe but allows for easy disconnection.
Cap (CAP): A fitting used to close off the end of a pipe.
Plug (PLG): Similar to a cap but used to close off the end of a fitting rather than a pipe.
Adapter (ADP): A fitting used to connect pipes of different types or sizes. Common types include male adapter (MPT) and female adapter (FPT).
Bushing (BUSH): A fitting used to reduce the size of an opening in a pipe fitting.
Nipple (NIP): A short length of pipe with male threads on both ends, used for connecting two other fittings.
Cross (CR or X): A fitting that joins four sections of pipe at 90-degree angles, forming a cross shape.
Reducer (RED): A fitting used to connect pipes of different diameters.
Wye (WYE): A fitting that joins three sections of pipe, allowing for a branch line to run at a 45-degree angle.
Street Elbow (ST EL or ST E): An elbow with a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other, allowing it to be directly screwed into another fitting.
Flange (FLG): A fitting used to connect pipes to other pipes or components, typically allowing for easy assembly and disassembly.
