A slip on fitting is a type of pipe fitting designed to slide over the end of a pipe before being welded into place. It is commonly used in low to medium pressure piping systems and is easier to align and install compared to other welded fittings.

Key Features of Slip On Fittings:
✔ Easy Installation – Simply slip the pipe into the fitting and weld it.✔ Welded Connection – Requires fillet welds on both the inside and outside for a secure fit.✔ Cost-Effective – More affordable than some alternatives like weld neck fittings.✔ Moderate Strength – Not as strong as butt-weld fittings but sufficient for many applications.

Common Types of Slip On Fittings:

Flanges – Used for connecting pipes to other flanged equipment.
Couplings – Join two pipes together.
Tees & Elbows – Used for branching or changing pipe direction.

Common Applications:

Water distribution systems
Low-pressure gas and fluid pipelines
HVAC systems
Industrial process piping
