Four Types Of Water Pipe Joints

    There are four types of water pipe joints: direct joint, elbow joint, tee joint and live joint. What are the characteristics of these connectors?

    Direct joint: The direct interface is that the pipe needs to be extended in the original direction, and there is no bend. There are inner wires directly and outer wires directly, and the outer wires are directly reduced in diameter.

    Elbow interface: The interface of the elbow generally has a 90-degree angle and a 45-degree angle, which is mainly used for corners. There are two classifications, one is variable diameter elbow, and the other is equal diameter bay head. The diameter of the joint of the equal diameter elbow is the same at both ends and can be used for the connection of two diameter pipes. The diameters of the two ends of the reducing elbow are different, and it is generally used for the connection between pipes of different diameters.

    Tee joint: used when three pipes meet. There are two kinds of equal diameter tee and reducing tee.

    Union: There are also two classifications, one is equal diameter direct, and the other is variable diameter direct. The live joint can be installed and disassembled at will when in use, and it is a convenient and quick interface.
