Polyethylene Flanged Adaptor
One of the important fittings in piping systems with polyethylene pipes is the flanged adaptor. This fitting is of particular importance because it provides the possibility of communication between polyethylene pipes and valves and flanged fittings.
Flange adaptor specifications
- High resistance: It is resistant to corrosion, UV rays and pressure up to 10 bar.
- Easy installation: It can be installed easily and without special tools.
- Proper sealing: It creates a proper sealing system between the polyethylene pipe and any threaded fitting.
- Long life: Due to the polypropylene material, the fitting has a long life.
- Resistance to chemicals: This fitting is resistant to most acids and chemical fertilizers.
Applications of polyethylene flange adaptor
One of the important fittings in piping systems with polyethylene pipes is the flanged adaptor. This fitting is of particular importance because it provides the possibility of connection between polyethylene pipes and valves and flange adaptor.
Advantages of using polyethylene flange adaptor
- Speed and ease of installation: Given that this type of fitting does not require welding, its installation is very fast and easy.
- Low cost: The flange adaptor is installed in less time and costs less than other connection methods.
- Light weight: The lightness of this fitting, in addition to making it easy to transport and maintain, also makes it easy to install.
Polyethylene Flange adaptor Components
Connection Components: The flange adaptor on the side that is connected to the polyethylene pipe has components, each of which has a function and the correct arrangement and shape of which ensures accurate connection. These components include: the fitting body, the sealing ring, the split ring bushing and the fitting screw.
On the other side, there is a flange fitting and a steel ring that needs to be installed with a rubber washer between it and using bolts and nuts, with the appropriate size and length of this fitting.
The arrangement of these components is shown in the figure below:
Important points for installing
- Choosing the right size: To create a proper connection, the size of the flange adaptor must be matched to the size of the polyethylene pipe and the thread on the other side with the threaded fitting that must be closed on it.
- Using rubber gasket tape: In fact, the sealing between the two flanges is done by a rubber gasket, and choosing a gasket with the right diameter and thickness is very important.
- Using bolts and nuts: For proper installation and proper sealing of this fitting, it is necessary to pay attention to the size and length of the bolts and nuts to close the flange.
- Tightly tightening the nut: The flange adaptor fitting nut must be tightened enough to prevent leakage.
