HDPE COMPRESSION FITTINGS
HDPE compression fittings are is mechanical fittings that are used to connect HDPE pipes to a fixture or valve. They are widely used in plumbing and piping systems, joining two pipes together. Compression fittings consist of three parts: the compression nut, the compression ring and the compression seat. A compression fitting works by sliding the pipe into the fitting, and then tightening the nut. The compression ring then compresses between the nut and receiving fitting, ensuring a water-tight connection.
Benefits Of Using HDPE Compression Fittings In Pipe Systems
There are multiple benefits to using HDPE compression fittings in your piping systems. Some of the main advantages include:
- Easy to assemble and disassemble without the need for special tools
- Low maintenance over time, which makes the piping system last longer
- No soldering required, which is especially beneficial for areas where no soldering is allowed
- Light-weight in comparison to other materials, which assists in making the assembly quick and more effective
- Leak-free jointing is ensured via heat-infused joints to ensure strong connections
- Leak-free connections, provided they are installed correctly
- Corrosion resistant due to being HDPE. They won’t rust or disintegrate, even after continuous exposure to water or liquids
- Can handle water surges due to excellent water hammer capabilities
