Article Introduction
The use of PVC pipes and PVC pipe fittings are becoming more and more common. Anyone who has used PVC pipes knows that PVC pipe elbow have an important role for the entire pipe. Without it, PVC pipes cannot be used as a whole.
So do you understand them? Do you know what types of PVC elbow fittings are available? The following will give you a detailed introduction!
What is PVC and what does it do?
PVC is the abbreviation of (Polyvinylchlorid). Its main component is polyvinyl chloride, adding other ingredients to enhance its heat resistance, toughness and ductility. The top layer of the surface film is lacquer, the main component in the middle is polyvinyl chloride, and the bottom layer is the back coating adhesive.
PVC can be divided into soft PVC and hard PVC. Hard PVC accounts for about 2/3 of the market and soft PVC accounts for 1/3. Soft PVC is generally used in the floor, ceiling and leather surface, but because the soft PVC contains plasticizer (this is the difference between soft PVC and hard PVC), the physical performance is poor (such as the water pipe needs to bear certain water pressure, soft PVC is not suitable for use), so the scope of its use is limited. Hard PVC does not contain plasticizers, so it is easy to form and has good physical properties, so it has great development and application value. In the production process of PVC materials, some additives, such as stabilizers, plasticizers and so on are bound to be added. PVC pipes are also non-toxic and environmentally friendly if environmentally friendly additives are used.
The main types of PVC pipe fitting elbow joint are
Different types of PVC fittings have unique applications and uses. When shopping for a fitting, keep in mind that each fitting has a various amount of iteration and applications. Below are some of the common types of PVC fittings available：
1. Universal elbow
This elbow is one of the most common PVC pipe fittings, used to connect two PVC pipes and change the direction of water flow. Universal elbows are usually 90 degrees elbow, and there are also elbows with 45 degrees elbow or other angles to choose from. It is usually made of high-quality PVC material, which has good corrosion resistance, lightness and easy installation.
2. Reducing elbow
PVC reducing elbow refers to elbows with different diameters in the pipeline system, which are mainly used to change the flow direction of the pipeline and connect pipes of different diameters. PVC reducing elbows are usually used in drainage systems, water supply systems and some special application scenarios.
3. Street elbow
PVC street elbow is a plastic pipe connector, mainly used in PVC pipeline systems to achieve the turning connection of pipes of different wall thickness sizes. It is usually used in pipeline systems in the fields of drainage, irrigation, water supply, etc., with the advantages of corrosion resistance, wear resistance and easy installation.
4. Arc elbow
Arc elbow is a PVC pipe fitting with an arc shape, which can achieve a smooth transition connection between pipes. Arc elbows are suitable for occasions that require a larger bending radius, such as garden irrigation, sewage treatment and other systems. Its advantages are small flow resistance, not easy to clog, and beautiful appearance.
Note: PVC pipe elbows are important accessories in PVC pipe systems. Different types of elbows are suitable for different occasions and needs. When choosing PVC pipe elbows, it is necessary to consider factors such as the specific requirements of the pipeline system, working pressure, medium properties, and use environment to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the pipeline system.
Characteristics of PVC pipe and pipe fittings
PVC pipe is a kind of PVC hard PVC tube, which is extruded by hot pressing after the combination of PVC resin with stabilizer and lubricant. It is the earliest plastic pipe for development and application. The PVC-U tube has strong corrosion resistance, easy adhesion, low price and hard texture, but it is suitable for the water supply system that is not more than 45 C due to the exudation of PVC-U monomer and additive. Plastic pipes are used for drainage, waste water, chemicals, heating fluid and coolant, food, super pure liquid, mud, gas, compressed air and vacuum system.
Summary
There are many types of PVC fittings on the market today, just like there are PVC pipes. Each connector is designed for a specific purpose and application, with its advantages and disadvantages.
Just as there are many PVC connectors, so are manufacturers/distributors. China SAM-UK is one of the most reputable manufacturers and distributors of a wide range of quality home building materials, including PVC pipes and fittings. Their piping systems range from home decoration, civil construction to agriculture.
