The use of PE pipes requires connection. Do you know the connection regulations for PE pipes? When using pipelines to connect along planned routes, some turning points need to be connected or cut in order to continue. If the PE pipe is not used according to the connection regulations, it will also hinder its effectiveness.
1. For various connections of pipelines, corresponding specialized connection tools should be used, and open flame heating is strictly prohibited during connection.
2. Pipeline connections should use pipes, fittings, and pipeline accessories of the same grade and pressure level. The connection between pipes of different grades and pipe accessories should be tested to ensure the quality of the connection before connection can be made.
When connecting polyethylene pipes and fittings with metal pipes and pipe accessories, and using steel spray coated or ductile iron transition fittings, the pressure rating of the transition fittings shall not be lower than the nominal pressure of the pipe.
If it is in a cold climate below -5 ° C or in a windy environment, hot melting or connection should be avoided.
By understanding the regulations for these connections, there will be some improvement in the future use of PE pipes. If you are currently working on this aspect, you may want to take note. Thank you for watching.
