What Are The Fittings For Water Supply Pipes in Home Improvement

Overview of home improvement water supply pipe fittings: The pipe material of the water pipe in the home improvement is an important part of the home improvement water supply transformation, but the pipes are all connected by the corresponding accessories. We all know that the water pipes are basically 3m or 4m each, so there must be corresponding joints, and corresponding elbows need to be added at the corners, so the accessories are also particularly important in the pipeline. If the quality of the fittings is not good, the connecting part of the pipeline is prone to leakage or even bursting.

The first type of pipe fitting is the straight-through. The straight-through mainly serves as the connection between the pipes and the pipes. One end is plastic, and the other end is also plastic. The two pipes can be connected together by hot melting. The straight-through is a kind of connector, and its function is to connect two pipelines at the convergence of two pipelines in a straight line direction. It can be directly divided into pull-reducing direct and equal-diameter direct. When the pipeline length is not suitable, direct connection can be used.

The second type of pipe fitting is a 45-degree elbow. The 45-degree elbow is used to realize the conversion of the pipe angle. There are two types of 45-degree elbows: one is an equal-diameter 45-degree elbow with the same diameter at both ends, and the other is a variable-diameter 45-degree elbow with inconsistent diameters at both ends.

The third type of pipe fitting is the 90-degree elbow. The 90-degree elbow is mainly used where the pipeline makes a right-angle bend, and is suitable for connecting two pipelines with an angle of 90 degrees. Like a 90-degree elbow, both ends of the caliber are basically the same, and the effect it achieves is actually the same as that of an equal-diameter 45-degree elbow, which can be used to connect pipes of the same specification.

The fourth is the three-way. The tee is a commonly used connector in the pipeline, and it is also called a pipe fitting tee, a tee pipe fitting or a tee joint. It is generally used for the collection of three pipelines with the same or different diameters. The main function is to branch the pipe and change the direction of the water flow. Three pipelines with the same diameter are equal-diameter tees, and those with different diameters are called reducing tees.

The fifth is the bridge bend. Bridge bends, also known as bridges or pipe-wrap bridges. Its main function is that when the two main lines are arranged in a crossed form, the upper pipeline needs to be installed with a bridge elbow, so that the pipeline connection is not blocked by another pipeline. The main purpose of crossing the bridge bend is to make the pipeline cross smoothly and reduce the height increased by the ground.
