3. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   Press fittings with appropriate and region-specific certification may be used for gas lines. Stainless steel and carbon steel press fittings can withstand up to 16 bars of pressure. A disadvantage of press fittings is the dead space between the pipe and the fitting, which can possibly rule out use for beverage and food applications.

   The angled seating surface is clearly visible on the far right. JIC fittings, defined by the SAE J514 and MIL-DTL-18866 standards, are a type of flare fitting machined with a 37-degree flare seating surface. JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings are widely used in fuel delivery and fluid power applications, especially where high pressure (up to ...

5. Swivel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swivel

   The biggest concern about anchor swivels is that they might introduce a weak link to the rode. With most swivels the shaft is nice and tidily embedded in the other half of the swivel as in the example of the stainless steel anchor swivel shown here. When used in marine applications, and worse in tropical climates, this is a cause for corrosion ...

6. Rotary union - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_union

   While rotary unions come in many shapes, sizes, and configurations, they always have the same four basic components: a housing unit, a shaft, a bearing (mechanical) (or bearings), and a seal. Rotary unions typically are constructed from stainless steel to resist rust and corrosion, but many other metals can be involved, like aluminum.

7. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

   Taps are normally connected to the water supply by means of a "swivel tap connector", which is attached to the end of the water pipe using a soldered or compression fitting, and has a large nut to screw onto the threaded "tail" of the tap, which hangs down underneath the bath, basin or sink.
