Collapsible and non-collapsible connections - fittings are used to connect parts of the pipeline at the points of branching, turns, transitions to a different diameter. Fittings are classified depending on the purpose of the connection. These can be corners and transitions, tees and crosses, plugs and fittings.
Various pipe materials such as steel, plastic or high and low pressure flexible hoses have their own set of connections. The type of connection depends on what tasks are set by the design of the pipeline. Companies selling fittings in Ukraine are represented in the UA-Region in the corresponding section of the catalog.
Fitting device
Consider the principle of the device of the most common type of joints today - fittings for metal-plastic pipes. It is quite simple: it is almost always a fitting, a nut and a steel ring with a gasket. These fittings are easy to disassemble and reassemble. Only a wrench is required from the tool.
In practice, creating a new fitting connection for a metal-plastic pipeline is not as easy as it seems. Ovality of pipes usually causes difficulties. This point is very important in the installation of the fitting, since its design is designed for a circular cross-section, and when a metal-plastic pipe is cut, its cross section will inevitably be deformed. Here, an ordinary cone or a special calibration tool comes to the rescue of the master, with which he gives the pipe cut a perfectly round shape.
Buying a fitting
Experienced builders recommend purchasing pipes and fittings from the same manufacturer, as otherwise an unpleasant story can happen when the diameters of the pipe and connection do not match. A huge number of products of various companies are presented on the market of the CIS countries today. Moreover, they can be from different parts of our planet, in which their own standards and norms apply. For example, a Chinese fitting will definitely not fit an American pipe.
Experts recommend using Italian fittings in the work. They provide a reliable connection of pipeline parts and are made in accordance with European standards and norms. We offer you to watch a video material specially filmed to compare the quality of Italian and Chinese fittings.
