Selecting the right option
Choose the size to match your pipe threads, and check the thread gender at each end against the fitting it joins. Sizes are listed as the larger thread first, then the smaller. AIMS lists a 3/4 x 1/4 size (SSN2008) that is not in the AAP catalogue. The weight and length shown for it are the figures held on the page.
