An Olet describes a family of specialized pipe fittings - they are typically used to create a branch connection from larger to a smaller branch pipe runs. The Olet fitting is shaped to match the curvature of the main pipe run before joining to the smaller. Olets are differentiated from standard joining methods in that the component contains internal reinforcement - making it stronger and better suited for high-stress applications.

Threaded connections in plumbing use male and female threads to securely join pipes and fittings, creating a tight mechanical seal. They are commonly used for metal piping systems and can be sealed with tape or compound to prevent leaks.

Commonly abbreviated as 90/10 CuNi, 90/10 Copper-Nickel is a high-performance alloy comprised primarily of 90% Copper and 10% Nickel. This widely-used alloy provides an effective balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost effectiveness. 90/10 Copper-Nickel is a standard material for a variety of fluid systems that handle seawater - making it essential for marine applications.
