Usually left fully open or closed, and can be in place for years before replacement.

Isolation: Used to disconnect a part of a piping system temporarily.

Valves are generally categorized by application, such as: These are available in different materials like rubber, copper, steel, plastic etc.Ī valve is used to regulate or stop the flow of gas or liquid. Plug are generally contains male threads and are usually threaded to allow the plug to be removed for future use of the pipe.Ĭap is a type of pipe fitting which function is same as plug but the only difference is plug contain male threads and cap contain female threads which is screws on the male thread of pipe. Plug is a component of plumbing component which is generally used to close pipe opening during inspections and repairs. If the 3 sides of T-fitting are similar in size then it is called as Equal tee otherwise it is called as Unequal tee. They are also available in different materials and different sizes. It can also be used to combine the flow from two inlets to one outlet. It is having one inlet and two outlets, outlets are arranged at 90 o to the main line connection (inlet). Tee type fitting is a component of plumbing system which is in T-shape. Cross fittings are generally used for fire sprinkler systems. These fittings generate more amount of stress on pipe as the temperature changes, because they are located at the center of four connection points. These are connected when there are 4 pipes are meeting at a point. CrossĬross type fittings contains 4 opening in 4 directions. They’re also commonly used to change pipe sizes a bell reducer is a common coupling used to do this since it connects a big pipe to a smaller one.

However, these can’t be detached without damage to the pipes.Ĭouplings can be used to connect two pipes of the same size and diameter. CouplingĬouplings are very similar to unions. One of the many advantages with union fittings is that they’re easy to install. They’re conveniently used in maintenance or cases of planned replacements in the future. They’re designed to connect two pipes with the possibility of being detached without damage or deformation to the pipes. Union fittings are made up of three parts: a nut, a female end, and a male end. So, this is also useful for maintaining purpose of pipe. Unions consists nut, male and female ended threads. Union is a type of fitting, which functions as similar to coupling. Also referred to as a “running nipple.”īefore buying a pipe nipple, it’s important to consider material, thickness, and diameter to make sure you get the correct fitting.

Close nipple: Threaded throughout both ends.

Barrel nipple: Short tubular nipple with an external taper thread at each end, and is un-threaded in between.

Swage nipple: Used to get fluids through one pipe size to a different size.

Available in a variety of materials, lengths, and threads. Hexagon nipple: This has two threaded ends and a hexagonal center.They’re strong and can be used under extreme pressure surges, vibrations, and changes. Weld nipple: Used to connect tube fittings.The prototype reference in my first post reports a man who built the same caboose in N scale - that would be a major challenge.There are five types of pipe nipples, including: I have built Westerfield kits in HO but would not try a similar scratch-build in any smaller scale. Working in S scale is easier than making the same parts in HO. When it is painted the lap-joint is not obvious.

There are wasted parts here also but it is possible to patch the strip if necessary. Ladders are made by drilling #80 or #75 pilot holes in Detail Associates flat brass strips and soldering. I always have to make more than I need and then select the best ones. I bend the wire to right angles with pliers then stick the bent end in the notch (to make it easy to remove)and bend the wire around the screws while holding the wire flush on the brass. When I bend similar pieces - like hand rails - I make a simple jig - usually small machine screws in sheet brass with a notch on the side. Wire bendingHi Blue - thanks for the comments.
