Threaded Fittings for Pipe Systems
This collection covers the core fittings needed to assemble, adapt, and seal threaded pipe systems. F/F and M/F elbows handle directional changes, whilst sockets and reducing sockets join pipes of the same or differing diameters. Reducers and reducing nipples allow size transitions between pipe runs, with reducing nipples rated to a maximum of 6 bar for use in pressurised systems. Caps and plugs round out the range, providing straightforward sealing where needed. ILS Irrigation stocks 10 fitting types in this collection, with prices starting from £0.29.

Frequently Asked Questions about Threaded Fittings
Q: What’s the difference between F/F and M/F elbows? A: F/F elbows provide female-to-female connections whilst M/F elbows offer male-to-female threading, allowing you to match your existing pipe system’s thread configuration.
Q: Can reducing nipples handle high pressure systems? A: Reducing nipples in this collection are rated for 6 bar maximum pressure, making them suitable for many standard plumbing and irrigation applications.
Q: What’s the most affordable way to seal pipe ends? A: Caps offer the most economical sealing solution starting from £0.29, perfect for permanently closing unused pipe outlets.
Q: How do I choose between a socket and reducing socket? A: Use standard sockets for same-size connections and reducing sockets when you need to join pipes of different diameters in your system.
Q: Are bushings and reducers interchangeable? A: Bushings and reducers serve different functions – bushings typically provide threaded adapters whilst reducers change pipe dimensions, so selection depends on your specific connection needs.
Q: What’s the purpose of back nuts in threaded systems? A: Back nuts provide additional securing force for threaded connections, ensuring tight, leak-proof joints in pipe assemblies.
Q: Can I use these fittings for both plumbing and irrigation? A: Yes, these threaded fittings are suitable for various pipe system applications including both plumbing and irrigation installations.
Q: What’s more cost-effective for blocking outlets – caps or plugs? A: Both caps and plugs start from £0.29-£0.32, so choice depends on your specific threading requirements rather than cost considerations.
Q: Do I need special tools for installing threaded fittings? A: Most threaded fittings can be hand-tightened initially, though pipe wrenches may be needed for final tightening to ensure secure, leak-free connections.
Q: Are there size limitations for the reducing components? A: Reducers and reducing nipples are available in various size combinations, with specific sizing dependent on your pipe diameter requirements and system specifications.
