PVC Fitting is a partible piece of pipe used to join two pipe pieces without adhesive. It is a simpler way of connecting pipes and tubes.

Tees: These are PVC pipe fittings with three ends, one on the side at a 90 degree angle and two in a straight line. They can connect two lines into one main line. PVC tee connections are often used for PVC structures. These are extremely versatile fitting which is some of the most used parts in plumbing.

Elbows: For the piping system to get a turn, you will need to bend the pipeline around with PVC elbows. These elbows are most commonly available at 90 degree and 45 degree angles. Most elbows have slip socket ends but threaded versions are also available.

Couplings: Couplings are the most simple and inexpensive type of PVC pipe fittings. Couplings are small parts that connect one part to another, permanently, that is, they can connect pipe to pipe and pipe to the fittings. These are available in female thread or slip ends depending on the requirement.

Unions: Unions connect things but are not as permanent as couplings and can be taken apart. They are used in building temporary structures like tent supports and can be taken apart when the structure is not needed. It has a ring in the center separating the two ends from each other which allows easy maintenance and deconstruction.

Caps: The job of a PVC cap is to stop the flow. Caps are provided at the end of the pipeline that is not connecting to another pipe. The purpose of the cap is to stop a pipeline that is planned to expand later or easy access to the system when needed. Caps also add a finished look of a pipe. They go around or outside of the pipe so as to have a socket or female threaded end.

Adapters (Female and male): Adaptors are also known as reducing couplings that are versatile fittings. These are designed to change the pipe’s end type which allows it to connect to fittings and pipes of many sizes. They can have slip socket ends or threaded ends to connect to different pipes and fittings. They can be male or female threaded as well as a socket.

Bushings: They are like adapters but focus on connecting pipes of different diameters. They are threaded fittings which make them apart from other types of fittings which in turn makes maintenance and pipeline customization a lot easier. They are often seen in landscaping applications due to their better performance with water fittings than metal which may cause rust.

Flanges: These are the type of PVC fittings that allows the attachment of accessories and other items to the pipe. Increases the strength of the pipe. It is a disc-like fittings creating a tight seal by pressing two surfaces together with bolts, edges and clamps. Mostly bolts are used to join two surfaces. They are available in threaded or slip ends.
