Where Are Threaded Fittings Used?
Threaded fittings are essential connection components in piping systems. They are used to securely and permanently connect pipes with female or male threads – without the need for welding. Especially in industrial applications, they provide a simple and removable connection solution and are ideal wherever fast and flexible pipe connections are required.
Whether in installation technology, hydraulics, or mechanical and plant engineering, stainless steel threaded fittings offer clear advantages over other connection systems thanks to their versatility, durability, and corrosion resistance.
Certified Stainless Steel Threaded Fittings – Available from Stock
WITTE TUBE + PIPE SYSTEMS offers a comprehensive range of certified stainless steel threaded fittings, available directly from our central warehouse in Rastede. With more than 12,000 m² of storage space, we stock a wide variety of sockets, hex nipples, pipe nipples, and welding nipples in numerous dimensions, materials, and designs.
All products meet the highest quality standards and are designed for demanding industrial operating conditions. Upon request, our threaded fittings can be supplied with inspection certificates according to EN 10204, such as:
● 2.1 (Declaration of compliance with the order)
● 2.2 (Test report)
● 3.1 (Inspection certificate issued by the manufacturer)
● 3.2 (Third-party inspection, e.g., TÜV or Lloyd’s Register)
In addition, we can promptly arrange individual testing requirements, including non-destructive testing (NDT), PMI analysis, pressure testing, or special inspections according to customer specifications. This ensures that you receive exactly the quality level your application requires – whether for plant construction, the food industry, chemical processing, or offshore applications.
Thread Types – Internationally Standardized and Versatile
Our stainless steel threaded fi ttings are available with a variety of metric and imperial thread types and comply with both DIN/EN and international standards.
Available thread types include:
● R – tapered external thread according to ISO 7-1 (also known as BSPT)
● Rp – parallel internal thread according to ISO 7-1
● G – parallel pipe thread according to ISO 228-1 (BSPP)
● NPT – tapered American National Pipe Thread according to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1
● BSP/R – British Standard Pipe with tapered external thread
● BSPT/Rp – combination of tapered and parallel threads, e.g., for transition fi ttings
● BSPP (G thread) – British Standard Pipe Parallel thread
This wide range ensures seamless integration of our threaded fittings into both national and international piping systems.
