Couplings and plugs are crucial components in piping systems, used for connecting pipes and sealing pipe openings. Let's explore the different types of couplings and plugs in detail.
Type | Application |
---|---|
Full Coupling | Used for connecting two pipes of the same diameter |
Half Coupling | Used for connecting a pipe to another component |
Reducing Coupling | Used to connect pipes of different diameters |
Compression Coupling | Provides a leak-proof connection without welding |
Flexible Coupling | Used to accommodate slight misalignments in pipes |
Hex Plug | Commonly used to seal pipe openings with a hexagonal head for easy tightening |
Square Plug | Used to seal pipe ends, featuring a square head for better grip |
Round Plug | Ideal for sealing cylindrical pipe openings |
Flush Plug | Provides a smooth, flush seal with the pipe surface |
Magnetic Plug | Used in fluid systems to trap metallic debris |
