Fittings are used in pipe systems to connect straight pipe to adjust to various sizes&shapes as well asfor other needs such as regulating fluid flow. Piping is frequently used to explain the high-performance (high-pressure, high-flow, high-temperature) conveyance of fluids in specialized applications. Fittings (Various types) require cost, time, materials and tools to install, and are an important part of piping systems.
Pipe fittings are mainly used in Plumbing, basically connecting plumbing pipes,and they can be of various orientations or shapes such as ELBOWS of various degrees 45, 90 , T depending on the application used. It could be made of Copper steel, iron, PVC again depending on applications.Pipe Fittings can be of different types. Some of them are: Elbows, Unions,Plugs.
:The Elbow is set in place between two lengths of pipe to permit a change in direction, normally 900 and 450 angle. 22.50 elbows are also accessible. Elbows are classified by design. The radius of the long-radius elbow is 1.5 times the pipe diameter. In the short-radius elbow the radius equals to the pipe diameter. The various angles in elbows like Ninety, Sixty, forty Five-degree are also available.
:The unions are similar to the coupling that allows the convenient separation of pipes for continuity.The union allows easy attachment and separation. It consists of three parts:The Nut,The Female end,The Male end. When the female and male ends are joined, the nut seals the joint.
:Plugs are used as obstructions or blockers in pipes or channels to control unnecessary flow of fluids or gases. These are components used to prevent or seal unnecessary flow of liquids and gases in an application. The can be metallic and Plastic depending on the nature of the application.
