Pneumatic fittings connect sections of pipe, tube and hose in pressurized gas systems. Compared to hydraulic fittings, pneumatic fittings are generally characterized by tighter seals and lower pressure requirements. They are common in pneumatic logic control systems and instrumentation. We will discuss pneumatic fitting specifications and materials. (more…)

Hydraulic fittings can connect a variety of materials, including tubes, pipes or hoses to components such as pumps, valves or cylinders. When combining these components, you create a leak free system that hydraulic fluid allows for safe transmission. There's a multitude of fitting configurations and variations to choose from. So,…

Plumbing pipe fittings usually consist of various metals and materials. Many plumbing situations also use plastic. Two frequently used metals to produce pipe fittings are steel and copper. Both of these materials have been used for several centuries in piping and plumbing installations. You may be wondering if one is…
