Imagine how frustrating it would be trying to use our pipes if we didn't have conduit pipe fittings to keep everything in check.
When selecting the correct conduit pipe fittings for your project, you must consider what material your pipes are made of and where they will be installed. Different fittings are designed for use with different types of pipes, so it’s important to know in advance which ones will be best for your project.
