Princeton's WordNet(0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: pipefitting, pipe fitting(noun) fitting consisting of threaded pieces of pipe for joining pipes together. Pipe fitting. Pipe fitting is the occupation of installing or repairing piping or tubing systems that convey liquid, gas, and occasionally solid materials.
Avoid Stripping the Threads. The plumbing fittings are typically wide bolts. Inside each fitting are threads that screw on to the pipes to make a tight fitting. If you tighten the fittings too much, you run the risk of stripping these threads. Like any type of screw or bolt, if you strip a thread, you will find that it is harder to loosen the fitting as well as to turn it.
