The main advantages of bezkladochny fittings

Installation of a water supply system or heating system in a house is connected with the wiring of pipes around the perimeter of the structure. Of course, the pipes have to be cut and pieces connected to make turns, to get around obstacles when it is impossible to bend the pipe. Often you need to make a transition from a pipe of one diameter to another or separate two or three from one pipe. Fittings are used for such connections.

Particular attention should be paid to the quality of the joints, since they are often the weak point of the system - at the joints, there is most likely a leak. A good connecting element should have a number of qualities: reliability, durability, high resistance to corrosion, pressure and temperature. In addition, the easier it is to mount, the better. To connect pipes, several types of fittings are used: with gaskets, with silicone sealant and without gaskets.

Which fittings to choose

Fittings with gaskets are mounted in the traditional way. It is necessary to cut a piece of pipe, put the fitting on the pipe, install the gasket and tighten with a wrench. High temperature bezkladochny fitting is often used to connect corrugated stainless steel pipe. Installing it is also not difficult. The fitting is put on the edges of the pipes and tightened with a key. The peculiarity is that there are no gaskets inside the connection. Tightness is ensured by flaring the edges of the pipe.

Flush-free fittings are widely used in heating systems, water pipes for hot and cold water, heat exchangers, gas supply pipes, underfloor heating, solar collectors. Flush fittings have several advantages:

• Inside, there are no gaskets that, over time, can break down from high temperatures and need to be replaced;
• The connection is very durable, just like when soldering or welding, but it does not have seams;
• Mounted easily with conventional wrenches;
• If necessary, they can be disassembled, removed and transferred to another pipe section;
• Brass bezkladolny fittings are not subject to corrosion and high temperature;
• They have an almost unlimited service life.

Experts advise to use non-laying fittings in various fields. Although they appeared on the market recently, and are more expensive than usual. But the high price is justified by excellent quality and reliability.
