There Are Two Types Of Sanitary Pipe Fittings. What Are They?

Pipe can be divided into connector fittings pipe and control pipe according to its function and purpose. Here's a closer look:
Connection Fittingss
Function: Used for connection, branching or rotation of pipeline to ensure smooth flow and reliable sealing.
Common types:
* Elbows: includes 90-degree and 45-degree elbows that change the direction of the pipe.
* Tubes: for branching pipes, connecting three tubes in different directions.
Straight Fittings (Pipe Clamps): Used to connect two pipe fittings of the same diameter, divided into straight pipe connector (straight pipe fittings) and straight pipe fittings (straight pipe connector).
* Joints: Easy to remove and install piping, usually requiring constant maintenance.
* Pipe Clamps: used to secure pipes to prevent displacement or vibration.
* Flanges: Used to connect piping to valves, equipment, etc., for easy removal and maintenance.
Gear ( (Reducing Fittings): used to connect pipes of different diameters to achieve a smooth transition between supervisor and branch pipes.
Control Fittings
Function: To control the opening and closing state, flow rate or direction of pipeline system and ensure the normal operation of piping system.
Common types:
Valves: including ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, etc., used to open or close water flow. Ball valve has been widely used in sanitary piping systems because of its fast opening and closing speed and good sealing.
Check valves: prevent water backflow, ensure a unidirectional water flow.
Float valves: Used to control the water level of a tank or sink, automatically opening or closing the inlet.
Ventilator: Expels air from pipes to prevent air lock and water hammer.
