Pipe & Pipe Fittings
Reliable Pipe Connections & Flow Control for Industrial Systems
Like hose and hose fittings, pipe and pipe fittings are essential components in fluid handling systems, used to connect pipe sections, control flow direction, and adapt system configurations. These components ensure secure, leak-resistant connections while supporting efficient transport of liquids, gases, and other media in industrial and hydraulic applications.
At Nott Company, we offer a wide range of pipe and pipe fittings designed for durability, pressure resistance, and long-term performance. Whether you're building OEM equipment or maintaining an existing system, our solutions help ensure safe and efficient operation.
What Do Pipe Fittings Do?
Pipe fittings are used to:
- Connect pipe sections or extend pipe runs
- Change direction of flow (elbows)
- Split or combine flow (tees and crosses)
- Adjust pipe size (reducers and bushings)
- Seal or terminate systems (caps and plugs)
These functions are critical to designing flexible, efficient piping systems across industries.
Common Types of Pipe Fittings
- Elbows (45°, 90°, 180°) for directional changes
- Tees and crosses for branching flow
- Couplings and unions for connecting pipes
- Reducers and bushings for size transitions
- Adapters for connecting different thread types or materials
Each fitting type plays a specific role in maintaining flow efficiency, reducing pressure loss, and ensuring system integrity.
Materials & Performance
Pipe fittings are available in a variety of materials to match application requirements, including:
- Stainless steel for corrosion resistance
- Brass for durability and versatility
- PVC and thermoplastics for lightweight, chemical-resistant systems
Material selection is critical for handling pressure, temperature, and environmental exposure in demanding applications, similar to clamps and o-rings.
Applications
- Hydraulic and fluid power systems
- Industrial processing and manufacturing
- Agricultural equipment (sprayers, irrigation systems)
- Construction and mobile equipment
Selecting the right pipe and fitting combination ensures proper flow control, minimizes leaks, and extends system life.
