Price Ranges for Solderless Fittings

Solderless fittings, often used in plumbing, HVAC, and other fluid transport systems, can vary widely in price based on several factors, including material, size, application, and brand. Here are general price ranges you might encounter:

1. Materials:

   • PVC Fittings: $0.10 to $20 depending on size and type.
   • Brass Fittings: $0.50 to $50, with larger and more specialized types costing more.
   • Copper Fittings: $1 to $30, depending on complexity and size.
   • Stainless Steel Fittings: $5 to $100+, especially for industrial applications.

2. Size:

   • Smaller sizes (1/4 inch to 1 inch) generally cost less, while larger sizes (2 inches and above) will be more expensive.

3. Type of Connection:

   • Fittings that provide specialized connections, such as push-to-connect or compression fittings, tend to be priced higher than standard fittings.

4. Brand and Quality:

   • Established brands or those with certifications (like lead-free or NSF certification) may have a premium in their pricing.

5. Bulk Purchasing:

   • Buying in bulk can significantly reduce the per-unit cost, with prices dropping by 20-50% for larger quantities.

Example Price Ranges:

• Push-to-Connect Fittings: Typically range from $2 to $25 each.
• Compression Fittings: Generally from $1 to $15 depending on the material and size.
• Barbed Fittings: Generally lower cost, from $0.50 to $10.

It's always a good idea to check specific suppliers or marketplaces (like Home Depot, Lowe's, or online platforms like Amazon or Alibaba) for the most current and precise pricing based on your specific needs.
