Tee and Wye Fittings - Tees and wyes are used to connect three pieces of pipe. Tees can have one inlet and two outlets at 90-degree angles, in the shape of a “T.” They are used to split a supply line, or they can combine two lines into one outlet. You often see tee fittings connected to potable water supply lines. A wye is shaped like a “Y,” with the two inlets coming together at roughly 45 degrees into a single outlet in drain applications. Sanitary wyes allow wastewater to enter a drainpipe from the side. The second part of the “Y” aligns with the pipe to allow sewer gases to vent upward.

Cross Fittings - Crosses have four openings for pipes – one inlet and three outlets, or three inlets and one outlet, depending on the need. These four-way fittings are less common and are used in some irrigation and sprinkler applications.
Elbow Fittings - Elbows change the direction of flow between two pipes. Common elbows have 90-, 60-, 45- and 22 1/2-degree bends and are used to make a turn. They can be joined together to move around obstructions in the pipe run.
Coupling and Adapter Fittings - Pipe couplers slip over the outside of two pipes to connect them, usually permanently. A coupling can be a reducer, or a reducing coupling. This means they reduce flow by joining a larger pipe to a smaller size. Adapters are used when connecting two pipes of different types. For example, an adapter could be fitted on the end of a plain pipe to allow a threaded connection at the other side of the adapter.
Bushing Fittings - Bushings, sometimes called reducer bushings, are used for connecting two pipes of different sizes. The larger diameter of the bushing fits inside of the larger pipe. The smaller pipe is then inserted into the smaller end of the bushing.
Union Fittings - Unions are similar to couplings in that they connect two similar pipes. With pipe unions, a nut or threaded ring in the middle of the fitting is tightened to join two pipes. It can be easily removed by loosening the ring to disconnect the pipes. However, a coupling must be cut out to disconnect.

Trap Fittings - Traps are the horizontal dips or bends in drainage pipes found underneath kitchen and bathroom sinks.
They are shaped like a “U” or sideways “P” and serve two purposes. First, drain water is trapped in the arc to create a barrier that prevents sewer gases from rising into the home. Traps also catch debris to avoid clogging farther down the drainage system.
Flange Fittings - A flange is a flat, round fitting that creates a tight seal with bolts or clamps. They are used when pipes pass through walls, ceilings and floors. The most common flange for DIY plumbers is the closet flange, or toilet flange. This is what secures a toilet to the floor and also connects the toilet drain to the drain pipe.
Cap Fittings - A cap fits over the end of a pipe to stop the flow of water or gas. These fittings can be used for the permanent termination point of a pipe. Or they're used temporarily to cut off supply during a plumbing project.
Plug Fittings - These are plugs used at the end of a pipe to seal the opening, similar to a cap. The difference is that a plug fits into the threaded pipe opening to make the seal, while caps fit over the opening. They are commonly found at cleanout locations for sewer systems.
Nipple Fittings - Nipples are short sections of pipe that are male-threaded at each end. They are used for connecting two female-threaded pipe ends or fittings.
