Unions and adaptors are essential components in piping systems, used for connecting pipes and allowing easy disconnection. Let's explore the different types of unions and adaptors in detail.
Type | Application |
---|---|
Threaded Union | Used for easy disconnection with threaded ends for pipe connections |
Welded Union | Used for a permanent connection, welded to the pipes for strength |
Flanged Union | Used for easy maintenance, with flanged ends for connection to flanged pipes |
Compression Union | Used in systems where no welding or threading is required |
Push-Fit Union | Used for quick and easy connections, typically in low-pressure systems |
Threaded Adaptor | Used to connect pipes or fittings with different thread types |
Flanged Adaptor | Used to connect pipes or fittings with flanged ends |
Reducing Adaptor | Used to connect pipes of different sizes |
Male to Female Adaptor | Used to connect male and female threaded components |
Barbed Adaptor | Used for flexible hose connections, providing a secure fit |
