plumbing fittings

Pipe connection hardware

Plumbing fittings are the connectors, adapters, and junction pieces that join pipes and control water flow in a plumbing system.

The category includes elbows, tees, couplings, valves, and reducers—components that redirect, split, or regulate flow: The hardware store stocks brass and PVC plumbing fittings.

Distinguished from pipes themselves and from fixtures like sinks or toilets.
