Piping is a cylindrical component that transports gases, liquids, and powders and is divided into metallic and non-metallic pipes according to the material. A resin pipe is a type of piping. Resin pipes are classified as non-metallic, and there are many types, such as cross-linked polyethylene pipes, polybutylene pipes, and polyvinyl chloride pipes.
A plastic pipe fitting is a type of pipe fitting that connects, redirect, and branch pipes to each other.
Most plastic pipe fitting is made of reinforced resin such as polyamide, but metal fittings are made of stainless steel, brass, bronze, etc.
Plastic pipe fittings are used to connect plastic pipes. Therefore, plastic pipe fittings are always required for facilities that use plastic pipes.
Resin pipes are used in a wide range of fields, including water supply facilities, hot water supply facilities, gas pipes, fire hydrants, and other equipment piping, and piping for hot-water floor heating, because of their lightweight, corrosion resistance, earthquake resistance, heat resistance, thermal insulation, cold insulation, and high chemical resistance.
Also, because of its excellent electrical insulation properties, it is used for fluid piping and cable protection in the electric power and telecommunications fields.
There are three types of plastic pipe fittings joining methods: heat fusion (Type H), electro-fusion (Type E), and mechanical (Type M).
In the heat fusion type, the plastic pipe's outer surface and the fitting's inner surface are heated and melted by a heater before the plastic pipe is inserted into the fitting and crimped. Since heating temperatures must be carefully monitored, a unique fusion splicer makes the joint.
In the electric fusion type, the plastic pipe is inserted into the fitting and then heated by passing electricity through an electric heating wire embedded inside the fitting to bond the plastic pipe's outer surface to the fitting's inner surface. When the fusion bonding is completed, the indicator portion of the joint rises to show that the bonding is complete.
The mechanical type is an automated method in which the plastic pipe is joined by inserting it into the fitting. Since the connection can be made by simply inserting the pipe, it is sometimes called a "one-touch" joint. Some types have an insertion confirmation window, while others have a transparent outer tube, allowing the user to confirm that the plastic pipe has been completely inserted visually. These joints are often used to repair or expand existing piping because they do not require special tools and can be easily and quickly installed.
