Can we use quick connector to repair the damaged water pipe
The principle of quick joint of water pipe is to break the pipe or connect two pipes together by the applied force.
What is the quick joint of the water pipe?
The principle of quick joint of water pipe is to break the pipe or connect two pipes together by the applied force. The applied force of the quick joint is basically realized by thread. That is, we fasten the screw on the quick joint to make the internal aperture of the quick joint smaller, and finally connect the pipes together by extrusion.
There are two common types of quick joints for water pipes: the first is that the thread is a long barrel type quick joint. It is connected by socket. When installing, it is to insert two water pipes into the quick joint, and then fasten the screws on both ends of the quick joint with corresponding tools, and squeeze the water pipe by pressing pressure. The second quick joint is the quick coupling with the holding type. This quick connect is made up of two parts, which are connected and installed by bolts. We open the bolts to open the joint part and then put the water pipe inside. After completion, install the bolts, and fasten the bolts with the fastening tools to repair and connect the pipe damage.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the quick water pipe joint?
The advantages of the connection of the quick water pipe joints are actually outstanding, which is the special convenience of construction. The quick joint can be completed directly by using the corresponding simple tools, and the requirements for the location of the pipe connection are very low. The other thing is that it's low in cost.
The disadvantages of the quick joint of water pipe are as follows: the first is that the reliability of the connection is very low. Because it is connected by external force extrusion, this connection is temporarily reliable, but with the increase of time, the pressure will gradually decrease, and water leakage may occur. The second is the low service life. Because the pipe and pipe here are basically copper, iron, with the increase of time, there will inevitably be rust and damage.
What connection method should be selected after the water pipe is damaged?
The first point is that if our indoor water pipe is damaged and the damaged repair is selected, we suggest that we adopt the normal connection method, namely, hot melt method to connect. This is the correct and reliable way to repair the pipeline.
The second is that if we are only temporary repair, such as some temporary water pipes or temporary repair, we can find someone to deal with the formal repair before the repair, in fact, we can use quick connectors to connect. Because this kind of joint in a short time is not problematic, operation is also convenient.
