ASA B2.1. Right-hand threads are used unless otherwise ordered. To facilitate drainage, some elbows have the thread tapped at an angle to provide a pitch of the connecting pipe of } in. to the footi.These elbows are known to the trade as pitch elbows and are commercially available. All threaded pipe joints should be made up with a thread paste suitable for the service for' which the pipe is'to be used.
Sawed joints are limited by the Code for Pressure Piping to not over 3 in. nominal size for refrigerant pressure 250 psi or less, 1$ in. for refrigerant pressures above 250 psi and not over 4 in. for water and brine. Screwed-on flanges are not per mitted in axes.larger than those given above. Bushings are not permitted for reductions of a single pipe size. For-screwed brass or copper refrigerant pipe, extra heavy fittings are required.
Table 4 contains pertinent threading data for standard weight, extra strong and double extra strong steel, and wrought-iron pipe: The normal engagement of pipe threads is given in Table 5..
PIPE FITTINGS
- Pipe is joined by butt welding one length to another, or by mang fittings. Pipe fittings are made in a variety of forms such as elbows, tees,-couplings, reducers, and unions, mid may be screwed, flanged, or welded. The type of fitting-to be used is' determined by the pressure of the fluid being carried, or by the intended use of the pipe line. The materials generally used are steel, cast iron, malleable iron (heat treated cast,iron), 'copper, brass, stainless steel, alloy steel, or bronze. The material used also depends upon the pressure and characteristics of the fluid.
Fittings are designated and sized in accordance with Ameri-. ran Standards Association specifications and are' identified by their nominal pipe sizes.
In the case of reducing tees, crosses, and Y-branches (lab; erals); the size of the largest tun opening is given first, fol lowed by the size of the opening at the opposite end of- the run. Where the fitting- is a tee or Y-branch (lateral), .the, size of the outlet'is given last. Where the fitting is a. cross, the largest side-outlet opening is the third dimension given followed by the opening opposite. The straight line sketches,fig. 1, illustrate how-the reducing fittings are designated.
Where an external thread is wanted, the word male follows the.size of that opening; Female indicates an internal thread.
Allowable pressures for solder-type fittings are given in American Standards B16.18--1963, Caei Bronze Solder-Joint Pressure Fittings, and B16.22--1963, Wrought Copper and Bronze' Solder-Joint Pressure Fittings. Data on'solders are

fittings and bushings may be eccentrically tapped to permit.,
drainage of condensate.
Sometimes nipples are erroneously called fittings. Actually
a nipple is a piece of pipe less than 12 in. long that has been .
threaded on both ends. Pipe 12 in. or longer is regarded as
cut pipe. Nipples are classified as dose or full thread, shoulder,
short, and long. A close nipple is about twice the length of
the pipe thread since the threads actually meet. A shoulder
nipple has. a shoulder between the threads and is further'
classified as short or long. All shoulder nipples are cut to
specific lengths and sold in that manner. "

As a general rule, flanged joints are used when it is ex
pected that the line will be disassembled quite often. There
are three types of joints for attaching the flange to the pipe:,

Tables 8 to 13 give data on various types of ferrous fittings.
Refrigerant flanged fittings and flanges were standardized
in 1948. These may be expected, during the next few years, to
supersede manufacturers' standards which differ somewhat,
.among themselves but conform more or less closely to the.
etandard. The Code for Pressure Piping provides that facing .
of refrigerant flanges shall be of the retained gasket type (male -
and female, tongue-and-groove, or ring). All manufacturers'
standards specify the tongue-and-groove type. It is necessary
to match flanges to be sure they come from the same manufao-

turer and to be sure that one of the pair is tongued and one grooved, and this frequently leads to annoying delays and extra joints in lines. It also'requires the carrying of larger inventories in plants or shops using equipment from several manufacturers.
fittings for copper tubing are available in soldered, flared, or compression types (see fig. 2). fittings for copper pipe of IPS dimensions are available in screwed or soldered types. Tables 14 and 15 give data for solder-type fittings for copper tube and pipe.
Stneal Joints are divided into two categories, according to the ASA B9.1 code. These are as follows:
