Gas fittings and gas pipe fittings are essential components of any gas-based system responsible for regulating and controlling the flow of natural gas or propane. Whether setting up a new gas system or maintaining an existing one, selecting appropriate fittings is crucial to ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with local regulations.

Gas fittings encompass a variety of components that connect, control, and maintain the flow of gas within a system. These fittings come from materials suitable for gas applications, such as brass and stainless steel.

Types of Gas Fittings
Gas Valves: They control the gas flow, allowing you to turn it on or off as needed. Gas valves come in various types, including ball, gate, and globe valves.
Gas Regulators: Regulators are crucial for maintaining a consistent gas pressure within the system. They reduce high-pressure gas from the source to a safe and manageable level for use.
Gas Connectors: Connectors are flexible hoses that link the gas supply to appliances. They should be made of durable materials, ensuring a leak-free connection.
Pipe Fittings: These fittings join gas pipes and direct the flow differently. Common types include tees, elbows, and couplings.
Gas Pipe Fittings

Gas pipe fittings connect, extend, or change the direction of gas pipes. These fittings should be selected carefully, considering factors such as pipe size, material, and the nature of the gas being transported.

Common gas pipe fittings include:
Elbows: These fittings allow for changes in the direction of the gas pipe.
Tees: Tees create branches in the gas line or join multiple pipes.
Unions: Unions provide a removable connection for easy disassembly or maintenance.
Caps and Plugs: These fittings seal off the ends of gas pipes.
Nipples: Nipples are short pipe lengths that connect two fittings or extend an existing pipe.
