Common Terms (and what they mean) S or Slip: A regular hub. The pipe glues into this (same O.D. as coupling) Mips: Male pipe threads on the outside of fitting Fips: Female pipe threads on the inside of fitting Spigot or SP: The same size as the pipe. Will glue into another fitting Hyset: Has a nailing flange on the front of the fitting Dropear: Has a nailing flange on the back of the fitting Nominal: Used to describe copper pipe and fittings in plumbing. Refers to the inside diameter of the pipe which varies by thickness of the pipe. The outside is a constant size and is always 1/8" larger than the nominal size. Example: 1/2" nominal is always 5/8" O.D.

Common Terms(and what they mean)

• S or Slip: A regular hub. The pipe glues into this (same O.D. as coupling)

• Mips: Male pipe threads on the outside of fitting • Fips: Female pipe threads on the inside of fitting • Spigot or SP: The same size as the pipe. Will glue into

another fitting • Hyset: Has a nailing flange on the front of the fitting • Dropear: Has a nailing flange on the back of the fitting • Nominal: Used to describe copper pipe and fittings in

plumbing. Refers to the inside diameter of the pipe which varies by thickness of the pipe. The outside is a constant size and is always 1/8" larger than the nominal size. Example: 1/2" nominal is always 5/8" O.D.
