CONNECTOR PIPE

Product Description

A pipe coupling is a short section of pipe or tubing used to join two separate pipes or tubes. It serves a wide range of purposes, including connecting pipe sections, transitioning between different pipe types, or extending pipe runs. Depending on the material and the specific application, couplings can be threaded, welded, brazed, or soldered.

Purpose:
Couplings are essential components in piping systems, enabling repairs, extensions, or modifications by providing a secure connection point between pipes.

Types of Couplings:

• Threaded Couplings: Feature internal (female) threads on both ends, allowing them to screw onto externally threaded (male) pipe ends.

• Welded Couplings: Provide a permanent and robust connection, commonly used with steel piping systems.

• Brazed/Soldered Couplings: Used with copper or brass pipes, offering strong, leak-resistant joints.

• Socket Weld Couplings: Have a socket on one or both ends where the pipe is inserted and then welded, ideal for high-pressure systems.

• Reducing Couplings: Connect pipes of different diameters, allowing for transitions in pipe size.

Materials:
Couplings are manufactured from a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, and various plastics, chosen based on the piping material and intended use.

Applications:
Pipe couplings are widely used in plumbing, industrial systems, chemical processing, oil and gas industries, and other environments where reliable pipe connections are critical.
