In addition to pipes, the main material used in waterway reconstruction is pipe fittings. Pipeline components are auxiliary accessories required to change the direction of the water channel, increase the outlet, and connect the interface. There are many types and the names are not uniform. Many water leaks and water leakage accidents are related to pipe connectors, so consumers must not be sloppy when purchasing.
The construction of waterways is a major event, and there must be no negligence in the slightest. And to do a good job in the transformation of waterways, the choice of decoration materials for waterways is very important. The understanding of the types of pipe fittings is also essential for purchasing. Understand the characteristics of each pipe fitting, prevent buying more, and make home decoration more time-saving and worry-free.
Socket: Also known as sleeve and sleeve joints. If the water pipes installed at both ends are not long enough during decoration, directly add one to extend the length of the water pipe. What needs to be reminded is that when using it directly, pay attention to matching the size of the water pipe.
Elbows: Elbows are used to change the direction of existing water pipes/waterways. Conventional elbow angles are divided into 45-degree elbows and 90-degree elbows.
Female/Male Thread Fitting: As the name suggests, the inner wire is located in the wire mouth of the pipe fitting (also known as the wire tooth). The outer wire (wire teeth) is on the outside of the pipe joint.
The female and male thread pipe fittings are generally used together. It is used to connect faucets, water meters and various types of water pipes in home decoration. Most of the inner wire is used.
Tee: Divided into the same diameter tee (also known as the positive tee) and the different diameter tee, as the name suggests, connects water in three different directions.
Plug: used to temporarily close the water outlet after the water pipe is installed. It will be removed when installing the faucet. When using the plug, pay attention to matching the size of the corresponding fitting.
Crossing bridge: also known as winding around. In the case that two pipelines intersect on the same plane but do not connect, in order to ensure the normal use of the pipeline, a bridge crossing method similar to that of an arch bridge is adopted, and the straight-through of the pipeline is avoided by plane avoidance.
Stop valve: As the name suggests, it is used to start and close the water flow; the function of the pipe clamp is to fix the position of the water pipe and prevent the water pipe from shifting.
