Threaded brass fittings are most often used for connecting various types of metal pipes They are most often used when creating a hot and cold water supply system, a heat system, as well as when connecting plumbing fittings and connecting measuring devices to pipes

 Brass threaded fittings are available in several forms and vary depending on the type of pipe being connected Thanks to this, everyone can buy that fitting for themselves Which he needs By the way, they can be used equally successfully for connecting both metal pipes and their polymer analogues

 Appearance and structure of brass threaded fittings

 Threaded brass fittings are made with internal or external threads They can be used to connect pipes of almost any type and from any materials The main method of connecting pipes and fittings is based on the fact that the pipe also has a thread, with which the fitting is attached to it

 The main use of threaded fittings is based on the fact that they can be used several times Even after repeated removal and re-installation, they retain all their technical characteristics In addition, threaded fittings are very strong and reliable, so they can be used in almost any pipeline systems They are available with chrome, Nickel or galvanized coating, and some models do not have it at all, but this does not make them any worse

 Threaded fittings are manufactured in several versions-coupling, tee, fold, fitting, etc.d All of them differ depending on the purpose of a particular fitting

 Purpose of brass threaded fittings

 Threaded brass fittings are used for connecting collapsible structures Their distinctive feature is the thread, which is used to connect pipes and fittings And they can be used even if it is necessary to connect pipes made of different materials or having different dimeters In addition, threaded brass fittings are used for connecting plumbing equipment, measuring sensors and other elements

 All threaded brass fittings are available in several forms Eg Couplings are used to connect two pipes Using a tee, you can connect three pipes, as well as organize branching The crosspiece is used to connect four pipes, each of which is at right angles to the other There are also special adapters, thanks to which it is possible to connect pipes of different diameters

 In addition to the connection, fittings are also made for stopping the flow of liquid and sealing the ends of pipes Create them in the form of caps and caps made of brass In addition to brass fittings, there are also fittings made only of copper, which are used to connect copper pipes Fittings can be used when connecting a metal pipe and a rubber hose And if the pipes are made of plastic or polymer materials, then plastic fittings are best suited for connecting them

 Threaded fittings are easy to install This is explained by the fact that one of the elements in them is the thread with which they are screwed to the pipe The connection turns out to be quite tight, but for greater reliability, it is recommended to additionally use FUM tape, tow, paste and other substances that are at hand for the person who is installing fittings But additional equipment for installation is practically not required

 The main types of brass threaded fittings designed for connecting various types of pipes

 Brass couplings

 The fitting, made in the form of a coupling, is designed to connect two pipes to each other They can be either threaded or non-removable (connected using welding or soldering) The only condition that must be observed when using such fittings is that their material must completely match the material from which the pipe itself is made Couplings allow you to connect almost any type of pipe, ensuring reliability and tightness at the junction

 Crosspieces and tees

 The main type of pipes that are connected using a tee or crosspiece are pipes made of polypropylene and its analogues

 Using brass threaded fittings made in the form of tees or crosspieces, you can create a branch in the pipeline, thereby creating an additional branch, or Vice versa-combine several systems into one In addition, through the use of such fittings it is possible to separate different fluids or to connect them when you create any mixture or The structures connected by means of crosspieces and tees are highly reliable and leak-proof Even after a few years, the design completely retains all its qualities

 The main advantages of crosspieces and tees are as follows:

- when installed correctly, the structure is as tight and strong as possible;

- if all rules and regulations are observed in the operation of such fittings, they can be used for a minimum of 25 years;

- low weight of the product, so it can be used in almost any type of pipelines;

- easy installation;

- this type of fittings is one of the most reliable, since brass is considered the most durable connection;

- using crosspieces and tees, you can connect several different systems into a single pipeline

 The crosspiece is one of the most frequently used fittings in the organization of cold and hot water supply systems The essence of this connection is that each pipe is at right angles to the two neighboring ones This allows you to divide a single pipeline into several separate lines, or Vice versa-separate systems can be combined into one And often crosses are used to connect not four, but three or two pipes (although the use of such structures in such cases is impractical)

Crosspieces are used not only in pipelines with water, but also for connecting gas and other types of pipes At the same time, the scope of application is not limited to residential buildings –crossbars are often used in the organization of industrial pipelines, repair of administrative buildings, as well as in the chemical and food industries

 Nipples

 The main distinguishing feature of the radiator nipple is that at both ends of it there is a thread of type G 1 " or a cylindrical thread with a diameter of 1 mm, applied in accordance with the provisions of GOST 6357-81 This type of fittings is used for connecting radiator pipes and other similar structures

 Since the main purpose of radiator nipples is their use in non-standard conditions, their service life is much longer than that of similar fittings made in a different form The main purpose of the nipples is to connect various types of pipes and connect them to the radiator

 «American»

 This type of fittings is most often used for connecting pipes with threads A distinctive feature of such fittings is the thread that is cut at both ends of the product Thanks to the gasket, the connection becomes as tight as possible

 It is because of the high reliability and tightness of the American most often used when connecting water and heat pipes as well as other structures where the main moving component is water

 When using an American, you can get a cone-type mount This is another characteristic difference between this type of product Thanks to the presence of a nut, such fittings can be used even in cases where the pipe is slightly curved, since the presence of a gasket ensures the most sealed connection

 Another distinctive quality of fittings of the "American" type is the ability to reuse them even after several removals In General, this type of fittings is the most suitable for instant connection of pipes and other structures

 Squares

 Use squares to connect pipes that are at right angles to each other This connection can be temporary or permanent, and also contributes to a more convenient placement of valves, taps, and other similar elements

 Locknuts

 To make the connection better and stronger, as well as helping to prevent leaks Lock nuts are used on main pipelines

 Barrel

 The main purpose of bochat is, as a rule, extension of this or that equipment, most often such fittings are used for connection of the sanitary equipment, and also various kinds of hoses and cranes

 Plugs

 As a rule plugs are used to stop the movement of a liquid or other substance through pipes They are not intended for connection, because they are closed on all sides Except one Design They can be installed either for a certain time, or permanently remain in connection with the pipe

 Futorki

 The main purpose of the footer is to reduce the internal thread of the seal For this reason, such elements are most often used on main pipelines

 Brass adapters

 Adapters belong to this type of fittings Which is used for connecting pipes of different diameters The strength and tightness of the structure is provided by a special seal At the same time, this type of fittings is used not only in pipes when connecting them But also when connecting measuring devices, as well as valves, cranes and other equipment

 Extensions

 If the pipe is too short and you need to increase it at least a little in order to connect additional devices A special type of fittings is used-extension cords Their diameter should be the same as the diameter of the pipe, and tightness is ensured by the presence of a special seal
