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

   Pipe coupling (copper sweat) In piping and plumbing , a coupling (or coupler ) is a very short length of pipe or tube , with a socket at one or both ends that allows two pipes or tubes to be joined, welded ( steel ), brazed or soldered ( copper , brass etc.) together.

3. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   The fitting is known as a reducing coupling, reducer, or adapter if their sizes differ. 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 (which would result in an unreliable connection).

4. National pipe thread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_pipe_thread

   The standard for Nominal Pipe Size (often abbreviated NPS, which should not be confused with the abbreviation NPS for the straight thread form standard) is loosely related to the inside diameter of Schedule 40 series of sizes. Because of the pipe wall thickness of Schedule pipe, the actual diameter of the NPT threads is larger than the Nominal ...

   Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures. [1] " Nominal" refers to pipe in non-specific terms and identifies the diameter of the hole with a non-dimensional number (for example – 2-inch nominal steel pipe" consists of many varieties of steel pipe with the only criterion being a 2.375-inch (60.3 mm) outside ...

   Also called John Morris Coupling, BS336 Instantaneous fire couplings are similar in design to the camlock fittings, and are used by; UK, Irish, New Zealand, Indian & Hong Kong fire brigades. They are available in two sizes: 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 -inch INST (FETA, only available with 38 mm hose tails) and 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 -inch INST (BS336).

7. Compression fitting - Wikipedia

   A compression fitting 15 mm isolating valve. A compression fitting is a fitting used in plumbing and electrical conduit systems to join two tubes or thin-walled pipes together. . In instances where two pipes made of dissimilar materials are to be joined (most commonly PVC and copper), the fittings will be made of one or more compatible materials appropriate for the connect
