A fitting or adapter plays a crucial role in pipe systems by connecting straight sections of pipe or tube, adapting to different sizes or shapes, and serving other functions like regulating or measuring fluid flow. These components are essential in plumbing to manage the conveyance of water, gas, or liquid waste in both domestic and commercial settings, within a network of pipes or tubes.
Fittings, especially those that are less common, demand significant investment in terms of money, time, materials, and tools for installation. They are indispensable elements of piping and plumbing systems. While valves are technically considered fittings, they are often discussed separately due to their unique functionality.
Our company specializes in producing high-quality stainless steel threaded pipe fittings and other plumbing components. These fittings are renowned for their corrosion-resistant properties, making them a popular choice in everyday applications. However, there are specific installation guidelines to keep in mind:
Firstly, plumbing fittings should never be installed in bedrooms or rooms directly connected to them to prevent potential gas poisoning hazards.
Secondly, a pressure relief pipe must be installed at the water outlet of the heating stove. The standard for the used pressure reducing pipe and its connected malleable pipe fittings should match or exceed the pipe diameter.
Thirdly, water inlets and outlets should ideally be connected using malleable steel live connections rather than malleable steel pipe hoops. This facilitates future maintenance and repairs.
Fourthly, due to exhaust considerations, the main pipeline should be slightly skewed with a ratio of 100:1.
Fifthly, when using a local heating furnace, the highest point of the pipeline should not exceed six meters above the return water inlet of the furnace. Exceeding this height can lead to excessive pressure, deformation of the protective body, and safety risks.
Sixthly, the entire heating system should include an open water filling bucket or expansion tank, with the installation height being at least 25cm above the highest point in the system.
Seventhly, installing valves on the pressure reducing pipe, water supply tank, or exhaust pipe is strictly prohibited as it poses significant risks.
Eighthly, the middle of the water inlet and outlet of the furnace should be lower than the middle of the radiator by more than 30cm. The higher the middle of the radiator is relative to the water inlet and outlet, the better it is for circulation.
Ninthly, if the water circulation is sluggish due to factors like a long pipe or positional differences between the radiator and the heating stove, increasing the positional difference can enhance circulation. In necessary cases, a small hot water pump can be installed to force circulation. However, placing the pump on the horizontal main pipe below the furnace to push water towards it should be avoided as it can damage the furnace.
Lastly, the chimney of a straight chimney coal stove should be over two meters tall, while a bulk coal stove requires a chimney with a diameter of 12cm that is more than four meters tall. Shorter chimneys with fewer bends are preferable.
Additional important safety tips include:
1. In winter, when turning off the flame temporarily, the water in the system should be drained to prevent freezing and blockages. Failure to do so could result in sharp increases in water pressure and potential damage from bursting.
2. The pressure gauge reading should not exceed 0.1 MPa (1 kg). If it does, the boiler should be shut down. The water temperature in a pressureless small boiler should not surpass 95°C.
3. The heating furnace circulation system must not connect to external heating pipes.
4. When the shower is not in use, the water in the pipeline should be drained promptly to prevent freezing and cracking during winter.
For users of honeycomb heating stoves, additional precautions include:
1. Using high-quality briquettes and avoiding wet coal to prevent corrosion of the stove.
2. Ensuring the coal block aligns with the furnace and adjusting the chimney damper and ash drawer accordingly when heating.
3. Removing the pressure fire cover when cooking rice, adjusting the chimney damper, or adding more coal to speed up cooking before returning the cover to its original position.
4. Replacing the honeycomb by pressing a piece of new coal, covering it with a fire cover, and swinging the handle to allow spent coal to drop into the ash drawer.
5. Sealing the fire by placing new coal, covering it with a fire seal, pressure fire cover, and stove ring, adjusting the chimney damper, and closing the ash drawer. The user should monitor the situation for about a week.
6. Regularly cleaning the smoke neck, heat absorption sheets, and small water jacket after prolonged use to maintain optimal heating and smoke exhaust functions.
