T and L fittings

In a variety of espresso machines T and L fittings are used to connect various components to each other. The name of this type of fittings comes from the capital letter T and L , seen the fitting does look like the letter.

The T and L fitting is made from casted and machined brass. You do see that all fittings are male or female, or a combination like 2 female and 1 male fitting. In most cases the fittings remain brass coloured, but you will also find them with a nickel plating.

The fitting sizes range from the smallest 1/8” BSP-G all the way up to a ½”BSP-G, you don’t see this size that often on a espresso machine.
