Yorkshire fittings are a well-known range of plumbing fittings used primarily for connecting copper pipes. Named after the Yorkshire region in the UK, these fittings are renowned for their reliability and ease of installation. They are widely used in various plumbing systems, including residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Types of Yorkshire Fittings
Compression Fittings:
Elbows: Change the direction of the pipe, typically available in 45-degree and 90-degree angles.
Tees: Allow for branching off a pipe into two directions.
Couplings: Join two sections of pipe of the same diameter.
Reducers: Transition between pipes of different diameters.
End Caps and Plugs: Seal the end of a pipe or fitting.
Adapters: Connect pipes of different materials or sizes.
End Feed Fittings:
These fittings are designed to be soldered onto the pipe. The pipe is inserted into the fitting, and heat is applied to melt the solder inside the fitting, creating a permanent bond.
Solder Ring Fittings:
These have a ring of solder inside the fitting that melts during the soldering process, providing a strong and leak-proof joint.
