Selection and installation characteristics of U-shaped PVC pipes
U-shaped PVC pipes need to consider a variety of factors during the purchase and installation process to ensure that their performance meets actual needs. The following is a detailed description:
I. Selection characteristics
1. Select materials according to purpose
General use: Select standard PVC material, suitable for general drainage and sewage use.
Special use: If the pipe needs to withstand high temperature or transport corrosive media, modified PVC (such as CPVC) material can be selected, which has better temperature resistance and chemical resistance.
2. Determine the pipe diameter specifications
Choose the appropriate pipe diameter according to project requirements:
Small diameter (16-50mm): suitable for household water supply and irrigation systems.
Medium and large diameter (75mm and above): mostly used for sewage and industrial transportation.
The radius of the U-shaped bend also needs to match the pipeline layout design.
3. Pay attention to wall thickness and pressure resistance
The thicker the wall thickness, the stronger the pressure resistance.
For high-pressure systems, thick-walled pipes that meet national standards (such as GB/T 5836.1 standard) should be selected.
4. Check the connection method
Socket connection: common in drainage systems, easy to install but requires the use of sealing rings or adhesives.
Threaded connection: suitable for detachable installation scenarios, easy to maintain.
5. Consider environmental adaptability
Indoor use: ordinary PVC can meet the needs.
Outdoor use: choose pipes with good UV resistance to avoid aging caused by long-term sun exposure.
6. Brand and certification
Choose a brand with quality certification, such as ISO, CE mark, to ensure reliable performance of the pipe.
Check whether the surface of the pipe is smooth and crack-free, and whether the port is neat.
II. Installation characteristics
1. Preparation before installation
Measurement and cutting: According to the actual pipeline layout, accurately measure and cut the pipe section of appropriate length to ensure the accurate installation position of the U-shaped pipe.
Clean the surface: remove dust and impurities from the connection part to ensure good sealing effect.
2. Installation steps
Socket connection:
Apply PVC special glue to the pipe interface, insert the U-shaped pipe port and gently rotate to increase the sealing effect.
Make sure that there is expansion space in the interface to adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes.
Flange connection (for industrial use):
Install the flange and fix it with bolts to ensure that the joint is firm and leak-free.
3. Support and fixation
Bracket arrangement: Install brackets at both ends and the middle of the U-shaped pipe to prevent the pipe from sagging or deformation.
Bending protection: Avoid excessive external force on the bending part to reduce the risk of rupture caused by stress concentration.
4. Sealing treatment
Use high-quality sealing rings or PVC glue to ensure that there is no leakage at the connection.
If threaded connection is used, the raw tape should be wrapped around the thread to increase the sealing effect.
5. Inspection and debugging
Perform a pressure test after installation to check whether the connection is leaking.
If used in sewage or drainage systems, actual operation should be simulated to ensure smooth discharge without blockage.
III. Precautions
1. Temperature limit
PVC pipes are generally suitable for a temperature range of -10℃ to 60℃. Insulation or protective measures may need to be installed in high or low temperature environments.
2. Avoid excessive stress
The U-shaped part should avoid excessive bending to avoid structural deformation or breakage.
Do not knock the pipe hard during installation to prevent damage to the surface.
3. Periodic inspection
Regularly check the interface and bend of the U-shaped pipe, clean the dirt that may accumulate, and ensure the long-term reliable operation of the system.
When purchasing U-shaped PVC pipes, you should focus on the material, specifications, connection method and environmental adaptability. During the installation process, you need to pay special attention to the sealing, fixed support and operation detection. Reasonable purchase and installation can not only improve the reliability of the pipeline system, but also extend its service life.
