Union Elbow Stainless Steel 90 Degree Elbow Pipe Fittings Coupling Connector 3/8in 1/2in 3/4in 1in Ferrule

Product Description

The main performance characteristics of the ferrule elbow:
Changing the direction of fluid flow: it can realise the turn of the pipeline, which is convenient for the layout and design of the system.
Good sealing: the ferrule connection can provide reliable sealing performance to prevent fluid leakage.
Pressure resistance: able to withstand a certain working pressure, the specific pressure resistance depends on the material and specifications.
Variety of materials: common materials such as stainless steel, copper, carbon steel, etc., according to the different use of the environment to choose the right material.

Installation Steps
1. Clean the pipe: Clean the end of the connected pipe, remove oil, dust and debris, etc., and make sure the surface of the pipe is smooth.
2. Install the ferrules:
Put the ferrule on the pipe, pay attention to the direction of the ferrule, generally the edge of the ferrule should face the end of the pipe.
Ensure that the ferrule and the pipe fit tightly without any gap.
3. Insert elbow: Insert the ferrule elbow into the end of the pipe so that the port of the elbow is aligned with the pipe.
4. Tighten the nut:
Screw the nut on the threaded portion of the ferrule elbow.
Tighten the nut gradually with a spanner, taking care that the force is moderate. During tightening, the ferrule will gradually cut into the surface of the pipe and form a seal.
Do not over-tighten the nut to avoid damage to the ferrule or pipe.

Inspection and Testing
1. After installation, check whether the connection between the ferrule elbow and the pipe is firm and without looseness.
2. Pressure test can be conducted to ensure the sealing of the connection. Slowly increase the system pressure and observe if there is any leakage. If leakage is detected, stop the test immediately, check if the installation is correct, and make adjustments or reinstallation.

FAQ

Q: How to choose the right specification according to the actual demand?
A: First of all, determine the size of the connected pipe, and select the corresponding specifications of the ferrule elbow according to the outer diameter of the pipe. Consider the working pressure, fluid medium and other factors to ensure that the selected specifications can meet the requirements of the system. If you need a specific angle of the elbow, according to the pipeline layout and space constraints for selection.

Q: What are the precautions for installation?
A: Before installation, check whether the end of the pipe is clean and burr-free, so as not to affect the installation and sealing effect of the ferrule. Make sure the threaded part of the ferrule elbow is clean and free of impurities.
Follow the correct installation sequence, first install the ferrule on the pipe, then connect the elbow with the pipe, and pay attention to moderate strength when tightening the nut to avoid over-tightening or over-loosening.
Pay attention to the installation direction of the elbow to ensure the correct direction of fluid flow.

Q: What problems may occur during use and how to solve them?
A: Leakage: If leakage occurs, first check whether the installation is correct, whether the ferrule is damaged or loose. The problem can be solved by retightening the nut or replacing the ferrules. If the problem persists, the pipe or elbow itself may be defective and require further inspection and repair.
Clogging Problem: If the fluid contains impurities, it may cause the elbow to clog. The elbow can be disassembled for cleaning, or a filter can be installed at the pipe inlet to prevent impurities from entering.

Q: What are the advantages compared with other types of elbows?
A: Compared with welded elbows, they are easy and quick to install, do not require professional welding equipment and technology, and are easy to disassemble and repair.
Compared with the threaded elbow, the ferrule connection is more solid, better sealing performance, and can withstand higher pressure.

Q: How to carry out routine maintenance?
A: Regularly check the connection of the ferrule elbow to ensure that there is no looseness, leakage and other problems. If problems are found, they should be dealt with in time.
For elbows that are not used for a long time, you can apply antirust oil on their surface to prevent rusting.

Q: How to replace the elbow after damage?
A: Firstly, close the relevant valves and stop the fluid transport. Then disassemble the damaged elbow and clean the end of the pipe. Select a suitable new elbow and install it according to the correct installation method. Test after installation to ensure there are no leaks or other problems.
