Features

Design

A short cylindrical piece of pipe.
Usually female-threaded at both ends to join two male-threaded pipes.
Materials vary with the application: galvanised steel, stainless steel, PVC, brass, bronze, etc.
Threads usually to ISO 7-1 (BSP) or ANSI NPT.

Advantages

Easy assembly and dismantling: quick work thanks to the threads.
Modularity: pipework can easily be extended or modified.
Cost-effective: high functionality at low cost.
Wide compatibility: versions for different standards and pipe sizes.

Considerations

Choose the material and type to suit the application (e.g. stainless steel for acidic media).
Thread type and size must match the standard; a mismatch causes leaks.
Seal with PTFE tape or a gasket.
Check pressure and temperature limits against the manufacturer's catalogue.

Coupling type	Characteristics	Applications
Threaded coupling	Threaded at both ends, used to join pipes.	Common in general installations
Socket weld coupling	The pipe end fits into the coupling and is fixed with an external fillet weld.	Pressurised and gas lines
Compression coupling	Joined by compressing a sealing ring.	Plastic/PVC pipelines
Reducing coupling	Joins pipes of different sizes.	Size transitions

PTFE tape

PTFE (Teflon) tape is a thin, flexible sealing tape made of polytetrafluoroethylene. It is widely used on threaded pipe joints to prevent leaks and ensure a tight seal.
