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.
