Elbows
Elbows
are used to change the direction of your flow. Angles include
11.25°, 22.5°, 45° and 90°. You can even get return bends
(180°) if you need to make a u-turn. We stock the most common
sizes in 45° and 90° angles.
Bends
Bends can include the 180° that we have on our shelf, or
custom bent piping to your specifications. If you need 300 ft
of 2-1/2 pipe radiussed to fit the top of your fuel tank for
your fire protection system, we have the pipe bending shops
standing by that can handle the job.
Tees and Wyes or Laterals
Tees
are used to branch your flow off your main pipe to another
run, either directly to the side (90°) or at an angle. The tee
can be equal diameter on all sides, or reducing to a smaller
diameter on any of the branches. Wyes or laterals make a
similar branch connection, only at a smaller angle.
Crosses
Crosses are exactly what they sound like a four way
equilateral piping connection.
Caps and Plugs
Caps and
plugs are used to seal the ends of your pipes, either
temporarily or permanently.
Concentric and Eccentric Reducers
Changing the size of your pipe run? Reducers can handle
multiple size reductions; from 10 to 8 or 6 for example.
Eccentric reducers allow the lowest level of your pipe to be
maintained in a straight line to avoid fluid retention.
All of the above products are available in forged steel
(threaded or socket weld) and wrought pipe (A234WPB) from our
Miami stock.
Unions
Unions are used to connect two lengths of small diameter pipe,
and are available in threaded or socket weld. The design of a
union allows threaded pipe connections to occur without
turning the pipe, as the nuts of the union turn to make the
connection.
Hammer Unions
Hammer Unions are quick connections used in oilfield
applications.
Stub Ends
Stub ends are used in conjunction with lap joint flanges to
allow the rotational angle of the flanges to be adjusted to
any degree. The lap joint flange is slid over the standing end
of the pipe and then the stub end is welded on. The lap joint
can then be slid back to butt up against the stub end and the
flange then attached.
Nipples
Nipples are just short lengths of pipe, typically threaded both
ends.
Swage Nipples
Swage nipples are high pressure lengths of pipe with threaded,
butt weld or plain ends that reduce the sizes of the pipe run.
Specify your material, sizes of the reduction, wall thickness
and end configurations for complete and thorough product
identification.
Outlets
Outlets allow you to make a small diameter tap into a larger
diameter pipe, often to connect a gauge, thermowell or small
diameter run. These all have a welded connection to the run
pipe, and a variety of connections as an outlet. These outlets
can be can be threaded, butt weld, or socket weld. They can
come off the main run at an angle or be designed to attach to
the main pipe run when the main run is not straight. These
outlets can also be attached to a flat plate . The welded side
of the outlet can be flat for flat plate, but when it is to be
welded to a round steel pipe, this side is contoured to fit
the radius of the run size of the pipe, in what welders call a
fish mouth. This contour is different depending on the
radius of the run pipe but one size can fit a range of pipe
sizes this is called a consolidation of run sizes. You may
see our quote for a 0.50 butt weld outlet on a 6 pipe run
described as an Outlet Butt Weld 36 4 x 0.50 .
Mechanical Joint
Mechanical Joint or MJ fittings are used in the water
distribution industry for quick connections of ductile iron
pipe and fittings. They are connected with a retaining gland
and accessory pack that secures the ductile iron (or C-900
PVC) to the valve or fitting involved.
Instrumentation
Instrumentation fittings connect small diameter brass or
stainless steel tubing in runs for high pressure applications.
We proudly stock and sell the Tylok brand.
