Wavin’s Innovative Tigris Water Pipe Fittings

When it comes to the installation of water pipe connections, one of the best choices that you can make is plastic fittings. Ideal for joining a wide variety of plastic pipes and tubes, plastic fittings are known to be extremely resistant to corrosion, can withstand action of pressure, and are extremely strong and durable. Moreover, these are extremely lightweight and easy to transport and install, thereby making them extremely cost effective when being installed in pipe networks. There are different types of plastic fittings available which serve different functions. Let us take a look at some of these types:

1.    Tee Joints: One of the most common types of plastic water pipe fittings are the tee joints. These are, as the name suggests, shaped as the alphabet ‘T’ and are used to either divert a single line into two lines or connect two separate lines into a single line. Tees can have socket or threaded ends.

2.     Crosses: If one wants to connect four different pipelines together, a cross type water pipe connector is the best choice. With four ends, the cross is shaped like an ‘X’ or a plus sign and is used to connect either two pipelines or three into a single outlet or divert a single or two inlets into two outlets. These types of fittings also come with threaded or socket type joints.

3.    Elbows: In order to bend a pipeline, a fitting known as the elbow can be used. The elbow type fitting is available for 45 and 90 degree bends and some manufacturers also make available bends of 120 and 30 degrees. This type of fitting is used to create a bend in the pipe network. These can be either in the form of corner elbows or side elbows, with the former having three ends. Elbows can also have reducer ends to connect pipes of different diameters.

4.    Caps: Sometimes, there is a need to stop the flow of water at an end of the water pipes and fittings known as caps are used in pipes for these. These can be attached and removed as per requirement. Caps can either go around the pipe or outside. These may also be available with thread or socket joints.
