RV plumbing fittings are integral components of any recreational vehicle's (RV) water supply system. They are specifically designed to connect different sections of the RV's plumbing system to ensure the smooth and efficient flow of water through the pipes.

These fittings usually come in a wide range of types, sizes, and materials to suit various plumbing requirements and setups. Some common types of RV plumbing fittings include elbows, tees, couplings, reducers, adapters, valves, flanges, caps, plugs and more. Each is used for a specific purpose; for instance, elbows are used to change the direction of the water flow, tee fittings are used to split or combine the flow, while caps and plugs are used to stop the flow.

The material of the RV plumbing fittings also varies. They can be made up of plastic, like PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride), PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) or metal, such as bronze, copper, or stainless steel. The choice of material largely depends on the specific application it will be used for, as well as the owner's preferences when it comes to durability, cost, and maintenance.

One specific type of RV plumbing connector is the Quick-connect fitting - designed for easy installation and removal without the need for tools or additional equipment. These fittings are usually made of brass and have a mechanism that seals the connection when the two parts are pushed together.
