TYPES OF PVC PIPE FITTINGS
PVC pipe fittings are known to help save water.
For best selection, understand the types of PVC pipe fittings. This will help you select for your plumbing needs the right components.
The following details commonly used fittings that drive efficient water management.
ELBOWS (90° & 45°)
Used to change water direction flow, they
Create compact and efficient plumbing layouts.
Ensure fewer sharp turns. This puts less stress on the system with reduced chances of water leakage.
TEES
They allow water to flow in two directions.
A tee fitting when properly sealed ensures even distribution of water. This is done with no compromise on flow pressure or leak.
COUPLINGS
Couplings are used to join two pipes. They are critical to maintain continuity in the pipeline.
Leak-proof couplings ensure the joints are secure. This in turn will not allow water to escape at the connection point.
ADAPTERS
They allow PVC pipes connection to different materials. Like metal or CPVC.
This is especially useful during renovations where materials are mixed commonly. Selecting the right quality adapters ensures water tightness and seamless transition.
REDUCERS
They facilitate the connection of pipes of different diameters.
When downsizing pipe flow, they manage without creating turbulence or leaks, water pressure
