fourreaux et raccords de tuyaux
Explanation:
"fourreaux" me paraît la traduction la plus probable ici.
C'est aussi ce que propose le FORBES.
Mais il faut bien entendu vérifier avec le contexte comme le demande également Tony.

Quels sont les autres termes figurant juste devant et juste derrière dans le tableau en question ??? Cela peut donner des indications précieuses ....

neutral  Tony M: I'd have though 'bague' was a bit unlikely for 'sleeve' — though we really are hampered by the lack of context available. / Of course — but we don't call those 'sleeves' in the source language! And we don't know what sort of 'fittings' these might be.
