How are pipe fittings measured?

Published in Plumbing Fittings 1 min read

Pipe fittings are measured differently depending on whether they are male or female threaded.

  • For male pipe threads: Measure the outside diameter at the widest point of the threads.
  • For female pipe threads: Measure the inside diameter at the widest point of the threads.

After obtaining these measurements, you can use a nominal pipe size conversion chart to determine the correct size of the fitting.
