The basic material of PVC pipe fittings is polyvinyl chloride, which is used to connect pipeline systems. According to different needs, the kinds of PVC pipe fittings are also different. This article introduces them in detail.
Straight pipe and elbow
The most basic and common types of PVC pipe fittings include straight pipes and elbows. Straight pipes are used to connect two pipes on the same straight line and are suitable for straight-line delivery systems. Elbows are used to change the direction of the pipe. There are many angles available, such as 45 degrees and 90 degrees. They are widely used in spaces that require flexible layouts, such as water supply and drainage systems in buildings, pipe turning in chemical processes, etc.
Tee and Cross
Tee and Cross are important types of branch connections in kinds of PVC pipe fittings. Tee fittings allow a branch pipe to be separated from a main pipe, which is suitable for occasions where branch water supply is required, such as hot and cold water pipes in home bathrooms, fluid distribution on industrial production lines, etc. Four-way pipe fittings add a branch port on this basis to form a cross-shaped structure, which is suitable for pipeline systems that require more complex branches, such as the cooling water circulation network of central air-conditioning systems.
Flange and Union
For large-diameter PVC pipes, a flange connection is a common choice. Flange pipe fittings connect two flanges tightly with bolts and have the advantages of high structural strength and good sealing. They are widely used in large-flow conveying systems in industries such as chemical industry and water treatment. Union (also known as union) is a connector that is easy to disassemble and assemble. It can quickly connect and disconnect the pipe by rotating the nut. It is suitable for pipeline systems that require frequent maintenance or adjustment.
Valves and inspection ports
PVC pipe fittings also include special types such as valves and inspection ports. Valves are used to control the on and off of fluids in pipelines or adjust the flow rate, such as PVC Ball Valve, stop valves, etc., which are widely used in various pipeline systems to achieve precise fluid control. Inspection ports are open pipe fittings with sealing covers, which are used for regular inspection, cleaning, or maintenance of pipelines to ensure the long-term stable operation of pipeline systems.
Special function pipe fittings
In addition to the common Kinds of PVC pipe fittings mentioned above, PVC pipe fittings also include some types with special functions, such as silencers, filters, expansion joints, etc. Mufflers are used to reduce the noise generated by the flow of fluid in the pipeline, improving the comfort of the living or working environment. Filters are used to filter impurities in the pipeline to protect downstream equipment from damage. Expansion joints can absorb the expansion and contraction deformation of the pipeline caused by temperature changes, vibrations, etc., ensuring the stability and safety of the pipeline system. The application of these special function pipes makes the PVC pipeline system more complete and can meet various complex and changing usage requirements.
