Use the following to determine pipe measurements with pipe engagements and fitting dimensions:

Pipe Measurements

 

The example below shows the computation used for an end-to-center measurement.

End-to-center Measurement

 

Center-to-Center Measurement. Use the formula: length of pipe equals center-to-center measurement minus both fitting dimensions plus both pipe engagements.
