Drainage fittings and pressure fittings are worlds apart, despite both dealing with fluids. Here's the key difference:
Pressure Management: Pressure fittings are designed for pressurized systems. They can handle fluids flowing under constant pressure, like those in hydraulic systems or water supply lines. Their robust construction and tight seals ensure leaks don't occur even under forceful flow.
Gravity's Flow: Drainage fittings, on the other hand, are built for waste removal. They handle fluids like wastewater or rainwater that move by gravity, not constant pressure. These fittings prioritize smooth flow and capturing debris, often featuring wider openings and looser connections compared to pressure fittings.
While they might look similar, their functionalities are distinct. Drainage fittings keep waste flowing freely, while pressure fittings ensure pressurized fluids stay contained.

What is the difference between schedule and class?
schedule is the thickness of the pipe and class is pressure/temperature rating of a fitting or pipe
How do you define the coefficient of incipient cavitation?
The cavitaion index across a valve or pipe fitting is defined as the ratio of difference between upstream pressure and vapor pressure to the pressure drop across the valve or fitting. The index at which incipient cavitation, damage, or choked flow occurs is based on testing and depends on the type of valve or fitting.
Where is low pressure ac access fitting for 2002 Chevy pickup?
The LOW pressure fitting is SMALLER than the HIGH pressure fitting.
What is the difference between curve fitting and regression?
curve fitting is a very difficult and time wasting method while regrresion is more to use as compare to curve fitting
What is a cast iron drainage tee?
A cast fitting that is shaped like a TEE and used either for drainage or venting
How does selection of fitting is done with respect to pipe?

Difference between coupling and pipe union?
A coupling is a threaded or soldered solid fitting, a union is a fitting that joins two pipes and can be taken apart with wrenches.
Where is the fuel pressure test port in1992 Chevy Suburban?
It doesn't have one. To test the fuel pressure an adapter has to be installed between a fitting at the fuel filter and the fuel filter, preferably the fitting feeding into the filter from the pump.
What is the difference between a street and a regular fitting?
STREET has male and female ends REG has only female
What is difference between tube connector and tube adapter fitting?
A tube connector is the standard fitting that goes on a tube or hose. A tube adapter fits to a tube or hose and enables it to connect to a fitting of a different size to its standard.
What is the difference between detoit 8v71 cylinder liners 3 and 2?
The difference is the outside diameter, it is used for fitting the liner in the block as they are dry liners.
How can you tell the difference between the high pressure port and a low pressure port to recharge the aircontioner in a 2003 Chevy silverado?
The high pressure fitting is the larger of the two. The adapters and fittings used to add refrigerant can only fit the low pressure side. I have a 2003 Silverado 2500HD and the low pressure port is just above the accumulator/ dryer on a line that attaches to the fire wall.
