Fittings needed to connect the pipes in the ground turning branching transitions to a different diameter. Naturally, for each type of pipes are provided appropriate fittings.
Plastic fittings
All PEX fittings are designed for installation of pipes made of polyethylene (PEX).
In the pipeline polyethylene fittings are used for joining plastic pipes, assembled as a system of water pipes, gas pipes, sewers and other.
Types of PEX pipe fittings
Used today PEX fittings are divided into several types:
# Direct – for the connection of pipes of the same diameter,
# Reduction – to connect the ends of two pipes of different sizes,
Mon fittings
and:
# Compression PEX fittings. Extremely simple to install. When the connection does not require welding and tools.
# Alloy. Method of production: injection molding of polyethylene.
Segment #. Method of production: butt welding pipe.
# Electric-fittings, connecting PEX pipe. Welded fittings with mortgages electric heater for the connection of pipelines.
In addition, polyethylene fittings differ in the nature of use:
# Clutch – for pipe joints on straight sections
# Tees – for joining the ends of three pipes and provide a branch in one direction on the course of the pipe,
# Squares – to change the direction of the pipe 45 or 90 degrees,
# Caps – for hermetic closure end of the tube
# Pad – to provide connections to the branch running networks
# Permanent link – for joining polyethylene pipe and steel,
# Bush under flyanets.
By this classification are divided not only the plastic fittings, and polypropylene fittings, plastic fittings, PVC fittings.
Connecting plastic fittings have all the necessary certificates of compliance with hygiene, non-toxic and safe for human health. That is why the PAP fittings can be used for the installation of hot and cold water supply, including transportation of drinking water. In addition, plastic fittings can be used for pipeline installation, created for the transport of gases, chemical and technical liquids, petroleum products and other things.
