PEX elbow is a fitting used to make a 90-degree connection between two PEX pipes or between PEX pipe and copper or threaded pipe or fitting. These fittings are crimp style and can be installed using crimp or clamp methods.
The fittings around PEX pipe are easier to attach than rigid pipe systems. Copper is rigid, meaning that each piece must be cut to size. Elbow fittings are also part of the process to use when it comes to corner turns. Unlike copper, PEX is flexible and easy to maneuver around corners and through small spaces.
PEX fittings are most commonly made up of one of three different types of materials: Plastics, Brasses, or Stainless Steel. Alternatively, a push fit fitting uses a combination of these materials.
Brass Compression Fitting consist of three parts: fitting body, ferrule, and nut. When the ferrule and the nut sleeve are inserted into the joint body on the steel pipe, and the nut is tightened, the outer side of the front end of the ferrule fits the conical surface of the joint body, and the inner edge evenly bites into the seamless steel pipe to form an effective seal.
The principle of the card sleeve pipe joint:
The connection principle of Brass Compression Fitting is that the sharp inner edge of Compression Fitting gradually cuts into the outer wall of the steel pipe under the action of progressively increasing tightening torque, so as to achieve the purpose of reliable and sealed pipe connection.
1. Simple structure, reliable sealing performance, easy to use, sophisticated manufacturing, light and beautiful appearance.
2. No need to add gaskets, no welding, save materials, and have good performance of repeated assembly and disassembly.
3. Since Compression Fitting does not need welding, the influence of pipeline impurities on system performance is reduced. Therefore, the ferrule type pipe joint is increasingly widely used in the hydraulic and pneumatic equipment pipelines with oil, gas and medium as the medium, especially suitable for occasions with burning danger, high-altitude operation and frequent assembly and disassembly.
