methods of choosing three-way water pipe fittings

How to choose three-way water pipe fittings for water pipe fittings

Part1: Introduction to water pipes and fittings

The waterway materials are mainly divided into three categories: water supply pipes, drainage pipes and pipe fittings. The water supply pipes are the water inlet pipes in the home, the drainage pipes are used to discharge the sewage, and the pipe fittings are used on the pipes for connecting, turning, etc. Multiple roles.

First, the water pipe material classification

For waterway materials, we must first understand what its materials are. At present, the materials of water pipes and fittings mainly include metal pipes, plastic pipes and plastic composite pipes, of which plastic pipes are currently the mainstream choice.

In the past, the pipes used for water supply were mainly cast iron pipes. However, since it is easy to produce a large amount of rust after a few years of use, it breeds bacteria and seriously endangers the health of the human body, and has been gradually eliminated. There are three main types of pipelines currently in use. The first type is a metal tube, such as a hot-dip cast iron tube, a copper tube, a stainless steel tube, etc. of the inner plastic. The second category is plastic-plastic pipes, such as plastic-coated steel pipes and aluminum-plastic composite pipes. The third category is plastic tubes, such as PP-R.

Second, the introduction of water pipes

Generally used for household water intake, the PPR inlet pipe is commonly used in the market. Because the water intake involves environmental protection, pressure resistance, hot melt and other issues, it is necessary to pay attention to the indicators for the selection of the inlet pipe. Commonly used inlet pipe is 25mm (6 points), 32mm (1 inch) is generally used for a section of the main pipe, will be used on different floors.

Third, drainage pipe introduction

Compared with the water supply pipe, the drainage pipe has low requirements on the material's pressure capacity and environmental protection. The most important reference factor is the service life. The drain pipe is mainly divided into two types: cast iron pipe and UPVC pipe. Drainage pipe and pipe according to the specifications, usually divided into 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, 110mm, etc., 40mm is generally used for basin launching, floor draining and balcony launching; 50mm is generally used for kitchen launching; 75mm is generally used for kitchen, balcony, Total drainage of basins, etc.; 110mm is generally used for toilet launching and external wall launching.

Third, the introduction of water pipe fittings

In addition to the pipe, a large material to be used in the waterway transformation is the pipe fittings. The pipe fittings are the accessory parts that need to be used when the waterway is redirected, the water outlet is added, and the interface is connected. The name is various and the name is not uniform. More than 90% of running water and water leakage incidents are related to the fittings at the interface, so consumers can't be sloppy at the time of purchase.

Part2: I know the pipe fittings and see the common water pipe fittings.

In addition to water pipes, many water pipe fittings are required for waterway reconstruction. Many owners who are responsible for purchasing building materials often buy the wrong type and model when they need to purchase water pipe fittings because they do not understand. So let's take a look at the common water pipe fittings.

1, directly

When using it, pay attention to the size of the water pipe. When the pipe is not long enough, connect the two pipes.

2, elbow

Conventional 45-degree and 90-degree elbows are used to change the direction of the water pipe.

3, inner wire and outer wire

It is used in conjunction with faucets, water meters, and other types of water pipes, and most of the home furnishings use inner wire.

4, three links

Divided into three-way and three-way three-way, as the name suggests, is to connect three different directions of water pipes.

5, size head

It is used to connect two pipes with different pipe diameters. Direct, elbow and tee have different sizes.

6, plugging

After the water pipe is installed, it is used to temporarily close the water outlet. It will be removed when the faucet is installed. When using the plug, pay attention to the size and the corresponding pipe fittings.

7, winding bends

Also called the bridge, when the two water pipes meet in the same plane without docking, in order to ensure the normal use of the water pipe, we use the transition of the winding curve, just like the arch bridge, avoiding the direct intersection of the water pipes through the plane avoidance.

8, as the valve

The function is to open 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.

9, S bend and P bend

Generally used for the water bucket and the water pipe link, both have the function of deodorization, the S curve is generally used for the misalignment link, and the P curve is the deodorization link. Its role is to prevent blockage and deodorization.

Part3: Optional pipe fittings purchase guide

The role and importance of pipe fittings in waterway reconstruction is believed to be well understood. Then the next step is how to buy it. Understand the type of pipe fittings, for the purchase, has taken the first step. The next step is to understand some of the shopping tips to help you buy high quality products.

First, choose matching

When selecting the pipe fittings, it is best to select the fittings of the same brand.

Second, smell

When consumers buy, they can use the nose to smell the water pipe for irritating smell. The good quality plastic water pipe should have no odor.

Third, look at the appearance

When purchasing pipe fittings, first check whether the color and gloss are uniform, and see if the wall thickness of the pipe fittings is uniform and whether the pipe wall is smooth. Pipes with threaded joints should also pay attention to whether the threads are evenly distributed.

Fourth, test performance

Consumers can take a small portion of the plastic water pipe and put it in high-temperature hot water to soak. The good quality plastic water pipe will still maintain the original hardness, while the inferior water pipe will soften at about 60 degrees.

Fifth, choose the brand

When purchasing pipe fittings, you must first read the product manual and certificate to understand the performance indicators of the product. The safest way is to buy materials in large, formal markets.
