Steel fittings are pieces of steel that connect different sections of pipes together. They can be used to:
Extend the length of a pipe
Create angles in a piping system
Regulate and manipulate the flow of air or fluid
Steel fittings come in a variety of shapes and styles, including:
tees, adapters, elbows, couplings, unions, reducers, crosses, caps, and flanges.
Stainless steel fittings are a type of steel fitting that are often used in plumbing systems and other applications:
Durability
Stainless steel is resistant to rust, corrosion, and mechanical wear.
Temperature ratings
Stainless steel fittings can withstand high temperatures, making them ideal for transporting potentially hazardous fluids or gasses.
Hygienic
Stainless steel has a non-porous surface that prevents the buildup of bacteria and contaminants.
Fire and heat resistance
Stainless steel has a higher melting point than plastic, making it a good choice for HVAC and fire protection systems.
