PIPE FITTING MATERIALS

 The most confusing work of every Civil Engineers and as a fresher also, plumbing work is undefinable. It keeps on changing in some places and works. There are many small items required. The main items that requires are elbow, coupling, tee, ball valve etc. and many more items. For more details you can see this video 

Sometimes it such happens that the pipe should be fitted on the back side of the wall i.e., outer wall and also sometimes in the inner wall. That's not just a mistake but it depends upon the situation where to fit and how to fit. But normally every pipes are fitted inside the wall such that it cannot be seen from inside or outside. And all these are done by using different technologies and methods.

Well now let us discuss about the required materials that are needed for pipe fittings. The first material needed is pipe, that's a silly thing how pipe can be fitted without bringing pipe. And all those pipe are available in 10-12 ft length. 

Next is ELBOW:- Elbow is needed when you used to change the direction of the pipe. Elbows are available in 90° and 45° as per requirement in the house. But in most cases 90° elbows are used. 

The two blue tick shown in the picture is the elbow.

COUPLING:- Coupling is used to join the pipe in long distances. Because every is available in 10 ft in length. So for example if the required length required is 50-70 ft then you can join the pipe with the help of this coupling. That means if you want to join more than one pipe then coupling is used. 

TEE:-  When you want the pipe in three directions then tee section is used. As it creates a junction between them so it becomes help and efficient to transfer water in all three sides. 

The blue tick shown in the picture is the tee section.

UNION:-  Union is used to check and open the pipe. It works same as that of coupler but the main thing is that this is provided at opening joints. So that when something defect occurs in pipe it can be open and seen. After that it is remolded again. It becomes useful for the house owners and mistry to come and check it.

BALL VALVE:- This is provided at the water tanks for transferring the water from up to the down. Actually two ball valves are provided one for going water to the tank from the motor and another for coming water to the house from the tank. 

TAPE:- Well you everybody know why tape is used for. Yes, just to come out water when it requires for us. But why I am saying this, because tapes are available of different length and of different shapes. But for length bring the tape which is 2 inch more from the wall. Otherwise it becomes a faulty use at later stage when year's passed by. 

DOOR ELBOW:- Well door elbow is the thing that is required to open and clean it the pipe when rubbish materials are hidden. It makes the water flow slow and as a result it gets jammed in it. So this door elbow is the most useful metal when pipeline is made. Because it cleans the dust and unwanted materials when required.
