The five common methods of connecting stainless steel water pipes
Different methods of installing stainless steel water pipes
The installation methods of stainless steel water pipes vary. Specifically, there are five types: single compression connection, double compression connection, socket weld connection, ring compression connection, and groove connection.
Single card compression connection: This connection method uses a mold to clamp the pipe fittings and the pipeline. It is equipped with an internal rubber sealing ring, featuring excellent sealing performance and flexibility in material replacement. The construction speed is fast, the efficiency is high, and the sealing performance is superior. It has gradually become the mainstream.
2. Double-Threaded Compression Connection: Based on the single-threaded compression connection, the double-threaded compression pipe fitting connection method enhances the sealing performance and safety. During continuous construction, the diameter and length of the pipe are expanded, and there is a large symmetrical pressure at both ends of the clamping position, resulting in excellent sealing performance and durability. The double-threaded compression pipe fittings are gradually replacing the single-threaded compression pipe fittings and have become the popular connection method for stainless steel pipeline systems.
3. Socket-welding connection: This provides a solution for welding pipe fittings. Through the water expansion process, the pipe openings of the fittings need to be slightly larger than the outer diameters of the pipe materials to facilitate insertion and welding, thereby improving the construction efficiency.
4. Ring compression connection: A wide-band sealing ring is installed in the socket, and it is tightly fixed by using a special ring compression tool, forming a ring-shaped compression seal. The contact surface is large, the sealing performance is strong, and it can be rotated 360 degrees after connection, which is convenient for adjustment and supervision. The gas sealing ring has superior performance and is suitable for various scenarios.
5. Groove Connection: It features a detachable design and is suitable for fire protection and self-built water supply projects. The installation process is simple and convenient. Align the stainless steel pipe with the pipe opening of the groove-type pipe fitting, attach the sealing strip and the clamp, and then tighten the screws to achieve the connection. It is usually used for connecting stainless steel pipes with a diameter larger than DN100.
