Izinsiza zephayiphi zensimbi zisetshenziswa njengokuxhumanisa amaphayiphi ensimbi. Ziyimikhiqizo yokucubungula ethulwe phansi emkhakheni wamaphayiphi ensimbi, zisetshenziswa ekuhlanganiseni amaphayiphi ngezindlela ezifana nokuhlanganiswa kwe-socket, ukuxhumana okunezintambo, ukuxhumana kwe-flange, noma ukuxhumana okusheshayo ukuze kuhlangabezane nezidingo ezahlukene zobunjiniyela.

Ihlukaniswe ngemicimbi, amafitting epayipi ye-copper ikakhulukazi afaka amafitting wesilinda (axhuma amapayipi amabili aqondile), ama-reducers (axhuma amapayipi anobubanzi obuhlukile), ama-elbows (afana nama-elbows angu-90° noma angu-45°, asetshenziselwa ukushintsha umkhondo wamapayipi), ama-tees (okwakhiwa kwamapayipi), kanye nama-cross fittings (okwakhiwa okuphambene). Ngokusho kokuhlukaniswa kwezinto, amafitting epayipi ye-copper angahlukaniswa abe yizigaba ezintathu: i-red copper, i-brass, kanye ne-bronze. Amafitting epayipi ye-red copper (afana ne-T2 noma i-TP2) anombala obomvu, ubuhle bokuhlangana, kanye nokuhamba kahle kokushisa nokuhamba kukagesi, futhi asetshenziswa kakhulu emanzini, ekufrigeration, nasezishintsheni zokushisa. Amafitting epayipi ye-brass (ama-alloy e-copper-zinc, afana ne-H59 noma i-H62) anempahla ezinhle zomshini, kulula ukuzenza, futhi ayakwazi ukumelana nokugqwala, okwenza kube yindlela esetshenziswa kakhulu, ikakhulukazi efanelekile emanzini, emoyeni, nasezimpahleni zokuhlanzeka. Amafitting epayipi ye-bronze (aqukethe i-copper, i-tin, i-phosphorus, njll.) anokuqina okuphezulu, ayakwazi ukumelana nokugqwala, ikakhulukazi ukumelana nokugqwala kwamanzi olwandle, futhi asetshenziswa kakhulu ekwakhiweni kwemikhumbi, emikhiqizweni ye-chemical, nasezinhlelweni ezinzima. Ngokusho kwezindlela zokuxhuma, amafitting epayipi ye-copper afaka uxhumano olunezintambo (lxhunywe ngokudonsa izintambo zangaphakathi nezangaphandle, ezifanele izinhlelo eziphansi zok pressure ezifana namapayipi amanzi noma amapayipi omoya), ukuwelding kwe-socket (ipayipi ifakwa kwi-socket futhi iwelded, inikeza amandla aphezulu wokuxhuma nokuhlala kahle, efanele izinhlelo eziphakeme zok pressure nezishisayo ezifana ne-refrigeration noma amapayipi e-hydraulic oil), uxhumano lwe-flange (lxhunywe nge-flanges nezibambo ezine-gasket yokuhlala phakathi, efanele amapayipi anobubanzi obukhulu noma amapayipi adinga ukuhoxiswa kaningi), kanye nezixhumi ezisheshayo (afana nama-compression fittings noma ama-quick-release fittings, aklanyelwe nge-snap-fit ​​noma izinhlelo zokuvula, avumela ukuxhumana nokuhoxiswa ngokushesha ngaphandle kwamathuluzi, asetshenziswa kakhulu namathuluzi e-pneumatic noma ezimweni ezidinga ukuhoxiswa nokuhlanganiswa kaningi). Amafitting epayipi ye-copper asetshenziswa kakhulu kumadivayisi e-refrigeration, ezinhlelweni zokuhlinzeka ngamanzi ezakhiweni, ezimoto, emikhumbini, nasezinhlelweni zokuhlunga amanzi olwandle. Emkhakheni wokwakha, asetshenziswe ezinhlelweni zokuhlinzeka ngamanzi emaphrojekthi afana ne-Great Hall of the People kanye ne-National Centre for the Performing Arts eBeijing. Ngokuthuthukiswa kwezinga lokusebenza kwamandla e-air conditioning, ukusetshenziswa kwamafitting epayipi ye-copper ezishintsheni zokushisa kuye kwanda, lapho imishini ye-air conditioning kanye ne-refrigeration ithatha cishe u-75% wokusetshenziswa kwe-copper pipe.
