Stainless steel fittings are a type of pipe fitting made from stainless steel, hence the name stainless steel fittings. They include stainless steel elbows, stainless steel tees, stainless steel crosses, and stainless steel caps. Based on the method of connection, they can be divided into four major categories: socket-type stainless steel fittings, threaded stainless steel fittings, flanged stainless steel fittings, and welded stainless steel fittings.
-
Stainless steel elbows are used for turning pipe fittings.
-
Flanges are used to connect pipes to each other or to the end of a pipe.
-
Stainless steel tees are used at the junction of three pipes.
-
Stainless steel crosses are used at the junction of four pipes.
-
Stainless steel reducers are used to connect pipes of different diameters.
The main stainless steel materials used are 304, 304L, 316, and 316L.
