Introduction
PVC-U-made fittings for PVC pipe unions Any fluid distribution network can be designed by combining these fittings properly. Unions: - Solvent cemented unions. The most common type of union. Glued pipes and fittings have male-female connections. The union is made by using a PVC adhesive which, correctly applied on the indicated areas, provides the system with a real coldsoldered joint. This kind of union improves the systems tensile strength. - Rubber ring joint unions. The female end of the pipe/fitting is designed to lodge an elastic ring that ensures the systems water-tightness. Assemblies are quick, easy and allow some direction variations. - Threaded unions (with or without reinforcement) - Adaptor unions (different kind of unions combined in one fitting)

Introduction: function of the fittings

They are the required items in order to make it possible to extend, connect, redirect or derive pipes. These are the most common ones:
UNION SOCKETS. They join pipe sections ELBOWS & CURVES. They join pipe sections and allow changes in direction and inclinations of the system (45, 90) TEES. Used for conduction derivations REDUCTIONS. They join pipes with different diameters FLANGES. They allow pipe unions and adding of fluid conduction mechanisms to the system CAP/BUSH. They close blind-ended ramifications CLAMP SADDLES. Used to add water-intakes from the main distribution network to the new system PIPE CLIPS. Fixation components used to fix pipes (to the ground, wall) in non-buried installations

Introduction: PVC pipes

The use of PVC piping has gotten more and more common in any type of fluid distribution installation. This is mainly due to their: - Low cost - High resistance - Light weight - Simple and easy connections

It is recommended not to build any PVC installation in the outside because of the materials low resistance to sunlight. The protection of the PVC piping can be ensured by using special UV-resistant paints or by just burying the whole insallation. Standards : - Glued PVC fittings: EN 1452-3 standard - PVC pipes EN 1452-2 standard

Advantages, benefits & inconveniencies

Good physical features: strength, rigidity and elasticity Light-weight pipes and fittings make installations easier Low cost Suited for food transportation Biologically not harmful Recyclable Excellent chemical resistance Resistant to internal and external corrosion Low temperature and pressure loss Easy to assemble Not recommended for aromatic hydro-fuels transportation (f.eg. Gasoline) Not UV-resistant without special paint treatment Fragile at near 0C temperatures

Features & benefits

Feature The fitting Elbow 90 D20 - D63 Elbow 45 D16 - D63 Te 90 D20 - D63 PVC-U (own formula) Makes the installation easier, allowing any kind of pipe direction Suited for drinking water and designed to optimize the fabrication of the fittings. These fittings have much better mechanical features than the ones obtained by using the markets standard material Aesthetically bettered. Less probability of finding imperfections in the part Makes the identification of the fitting while building an installation much easier Ensures an optimal quality of any part or product leaving the fabric Benefit

Mechanically cut material excesses in injection Marked fittings (sizes, material, PN and logo) Several tests are made for each fabrication lot

Installation
Glued: clean pipe and fitting, apply adhesive with a brush, join longitudinally fitting and pipe and do not touch nor move during the established drying time. Calculate deformations and install taking in account coefficients and ambient temperature. Screwed: to ensure water-tightness, use Teflon tape. Detailed instructions can be found in the technical catalogue.

La tranquilidad de tener una instalacin con producto certificado vale mucho ms que ese 5-10% La velocidad de inyeccin es ms lenta que con el material del mercado a causa de su poca fluidez. Las caractersticas mecnicas son muy superiores porqu la resistencia del material es inversamente proporcional a la fluidez. Tiempo de inyeccin 10% superior que con PVC-U ms fluido.
