2. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   The fitting is known as a reducing coupling, reducer, or adapter if their sizes differ. There are two types of collars: "regular" and "slip". There are two types of collars: "regular" and "slip". A regular coupling has a small ridge or stops internally to prevent the over-insertion of a pipe and, thus, under-insertion of the other pipe segment ...

3. Coupling (piping) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(piping)

   Alternatively it is a short length of pipe with two female National pipe threads (NPT) (in North American terms, a coupler is a double female while a nipple is double male) or two male or female British standard pipe threads. If the two ends of a coupling are of different standards or joining methods, the coupling is called an adapter. Examples ...

4. Eccentric reducer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_reducer

   The same fitting can be used in reverse as an eccentric increaser or expander. They are used where the diameter of the pipe on the upstream side of the fitting (i.e. where flow is coming from) is larger than the downstream side, and where there is a danger that vapour may accumulate. [1]

5. Hose coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hose_coupling

   A camlock, also called cam and groove, is a quick connect fluid transfer hose coupling that consists of a male "adapter" and female "coupler". The adapter has a groove on the outside that is engaged by the "cam arms" on the outside of the coupler to effect a seal against the gasket inside the "coupler". They are commonly used for petroleum or ...

6. Push-to-pull compression fittings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-to-pull_compression...

   There was a reusable fitting that could be unscrewed and a slimmer single-use fitting which could not. A new grab washer was required each time if a joint was reused. The fittings were designed for use with polybutylene pipe, while stainless steel pipe inserts were used for internal support. Hepworth was acquired by Wavin in 2005. [1]

7. Concentric reducer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentric_reducer

   A copper concentric reducer. A concentric reducer is used to join pipe sections or tube sections on the same axis. [1] The concentric reducer is cone-shaped, and is used when there is a shift in diameter between pipes. [1] For example, when a 1" pipe transitions into a 3/4" pipe and the top or bottom of the pipe doesn't need to remain level. [2]
