Stainless steel pipe fittings are made of stainless steel which is an alloy. Stainless steel is highly corrosion resistant and durable. It has cryogenic toughness and resistance to high temperatures. It can be easily fabricated and transformed. Stainless steel has several grades but the most commonly used stainless steel grade is 304, 316, and 316L.
Stainless pipe fittings are used for connecting pipes and controlling the volume, direction, and pressure of the flow of gases, liquids, and fluids. There are several kinds of stainless steel pipe fittings for piping systems, plumbing systems, and pressure applications.
All the stainless pipes fittings are attached by different types of connections formed by using adhesive, mechanically, welded, or may have threads at its ends. The stainless steel fittings include Tee, Cross, Elbow, Reducer, Coupling, Nipple, Plug & Cap, Adapters, Union, Connectors, Compression fittings, and Valve.
