What are the functions of the base at the bottom of a pipe fitting?

1.Support

2.Load dispersion

3.Environmental isolation

4.Convenient maintenance

The bottom of many pipe fittings is equipped with a base, which serves several purposes. The base is typically designed to be closely connected to the fitting itself and serves the following functions:

The main function of the base is to support the pipe fitting, allowing it to be securely installed on the ground or support structure. This helps to avoid problems such as deformation, displacement or fracture of the pipeline.

The base can distribute the weight and other loads on the pipeline over a larger surface area, thereby reducing pressure concentration between the pipeline and support structure and protecting the fitting and its connection points.

Some pipelines need to avoid direct contact with the ground or other environments to prevent problems such as corrosion and pollution. The base can act as an isolation device, separating the fitting from the environment.

Some bases also provide convenient maintenance interfaces, such as for inspection, cleaning, replacement, etc., to keep the pipe fitting running normally.
