fittings
A fitting or adapter is used in pipe systems to connect straight sections of pipe or tube, adapt to different sizes or shapes, and for other purposes such as regulating (or measuring) fluid flow. These fittings are used in plumbing to manipulate the conveyance of water, gas, or liquid waste in domestic or commercial environments, within a system of pipes or tubes.
Fittings (especially uncommon types) require money, time, materials, and tools to install, and are an important part of piping and plumbing systems. Valves are technically fittings, but are usually discussed separately.
Hi,
I am probably being unduly paranoid here but I noticed under our kitchen sink that there is some corrosion evident on a small section of copper pipe between compression fittings on the hot water
feed. There are take offs for an outside hot and cold tap together with isolation valves and...
Hi there,
I am hoping someone can give me some advice. We have had two leaks at home in the last 2 weeks; luckily we were in for both events and managed to get the water turned off pretty quickly so it is not a massive catastrophe. Both times, a fitting popped off a pipe about 15 minutes after...
Where the black polyethelene service line enters this particular structure is by far the most freeze-prone area. The structure is an elevated "mini house" with an insulated, heat-taped plenum taking the poly from below frost line up into the space between floor joists. But, power outages...
Hi, I have a shower tower fitted and my flexi pipes (500mm) are about 7cm short of where they need to be to fit onto the mixing valve in the back of the shower. I cannot move the shower up and the next longest flexi pipe I can find is 900mm, which is about 830mm longer than I need.. Would a 15mm...
Hi, my wife decided she wanted new modern bathtaps instead of the old 'supertaps' we've had since we bought the place.
So we bought the new taps and I tried fitting them yesterday but the new taps don't have the same fitting length as the old ones, this wasn't aproblem on the hot supply as...
I'm retiling my bathroom, and so everything in this photo minus the copper pipes must be removed.
Anyone familiar with these screw fittings that go over the pipes? They have filed down areas to get an adjustable spanner in there to turn them, but when I grip the copper pipe and the screw...
Hi - I'm a DIYer, successfully fitted an external garden tap, supply sourced from downstairs loo, standard 13 mil copper pipework, in-line cut-off. WEATHER PROBLEM - its worked fine for years EXCEPT twice now I've had split pipe due to freezing (at -8C ) despite foam protection.
My thinking -...
Has anybody had any experience of MLCP fittings leaking? I’ve used tweet top fittings on a few decent sized jobs and had zero issues, however I’ve just been to a job I’ve done and 3 fittings had a very small drip on them, crimp gun has been calibrated etc and pipework has been correctly...
I’m fitting an over head shower to an en-suite that I’m about to tile, I’m
Struggling thinking about how to get the fittings flush to the tiles from the copper feed behind the boarding. Anyone any experience on the best way to sort this out?
Cheers
When using solder ring fittings is it important to have one end of the pipe open to allow pressure and fumes to escape?
I had a terrible job trying to solder a short section of pipe with an isolation valve closed on each end. It wasn't till I redid the work and opened one end that I could get...
Hello
The existing tap is leaking in the kitchen. Few days back, it randomly let out more water than what it was leaking before and it created a mess.
Need some help on replacing a old kitchen tap.
Here are some pictures for the old tap and new tap that we have in kitchen. I have also...
I want to replace two of the flexible hoses that feed the shower mixer valve. I don't like how they have been bent at a right angle.
All the fitting in our bathroom are these pushfit fittings. I don't know the brand. Fortunately, I have removed some sections of pipework in the bathroom and kept...
Hi,
I'm doing an automatic irrigation project with Arduino, which is connected to a solenoid valve which has male 3/4'' threading for water input and output (this solenoid valve - product page in Italian, sorry). I need to connect the output to a 16mm polyethylene pipe, and searching online I...
I need to replace the flow and return in the loft but using a torch is out of the question, is it wrong to do it entirely in compression? As don’t really like pushfit and press fit the cost doesn’t work out ?
Hi!
I am creating a cooling installation and would like to use manifolds supplied by an underfloor heating company. It seems as though UFH uses Eurocone widely but I have never come across these fittings before.
Can someone tell me the cone angle on eurocone fittings and whether they are...
Hi opinions please
replacement boiler same location as old, descending water pipes adapted to fit with 3 compression fitting each so each has 2 90 bends, short horizontal pipes and a coupler.
overall 6 fittings with 12 olives and 4 bends all above new boiler, previously straight unjointed...
I’m doing some 4” soil and I’m having a debate about what can be done with these fittings. They’re both 45s. The double socket has a ring seal on it facing up and the spigot of the other 45 goes into it the bottom. The 2nd 45 is then glued on the spigot and socket. Is this acceptable?
I'm in the process of converting my garage. I've been looking for the existing radiator feeds. I came across these. Are they reducers? Don't know why they would be insulated?
I'm chasing some walls and using speedfit for pipes to the radiators.
I'll be using conduit and want to transition to copper ends which will connect to the rads. Can I bury the speedfit fittings (elbows etc)?
What are the options for pipe exiting the wall and connecting to the rads? Do I...
