Pipes are hollowed cylinder usually used in conveying substance that can flow like liquids, gases, powders, slurries and small solid masses. These can be used also in structural applications for their stiffness which is greater than solid members. They have a similar use with hosepipes but are rigid and permanent while the latter are usually flexible and portable.

These things can be split, regulated their flow or joined with fittings which is usually categorized into a reducer, branch, tee, elbow, enlarger or wye. You might have a project requiring aluminum threaded pipe fittings such as plumbing your kitchen, laundry room or bathroom. There are many types so make sure compatible ones are bought for your pipes.

Find in your city some companies offering these items with the use of a variety of media like the internet, yellow pages and local newspapers. Specify where you are located in searching online because this filters results in showing those operating nearby only. Get their contact information, website address and physical address for further research later.

Request for recommendations from your friends, family members and associates because they may have bought one previously. Getting recommendations from somebody you trust will be an advantage as they would be telling you their experience honestly. Ask them for their reasons in recommending that particular company and if they have any complaints with their products or customer service.

Find out about the company more by doing a little research of their background details which includes the year their business operation was started. This shows their experience, knowledge and capabilities with selling these items that the passing years might have improved. Their longevity also signifies the trust from the community given to them by buying their products.

Check the permits and licenses allowing their business to operate in your city legally after the government has granted them these. This means that they passed all documents required and followed all standards, rules, regulations and codes. If these documents could not be show by them then question their legality of operation, trustworthiness and quality of products.

Visit websites that shows ratings and reviews of these companies given by their previous clients who also use these sites. These ratings indicate their satisfaction level which is reflected on how high they rated the company they bought from previously. You should read reviews still as even those with high ratings could have some complaints against them.

Talk directly to their previous customers by requesting for contact information of their references then asking some questions to them. They will be telling you about their experience of the customer service and how satisfied they were with what they bought. Be careful though with these references as some have associations with the company which makes their opinions biased.

Know their prices by checking out the physical store or their websites if these details are there and inquire for bulk purchase discounts. Ask if they are offering delivery service specially when buying many items aside from fittings and they would not fit your vehicle. Compare what you know to select the best one.
