pipe joint
Where pipes meet
A pipe joint is any connection between two sections of pipe, designed to create a continuous, leak-free pathway for fluids or gases.
Common types include threaded joints, welded joints, flanged connections, and compression fittings, each suited to different pressures, materials, and applications.
Plumbers and pipefitters select joint types based on whether the connection needs to be permanent or serviceable.
