In today’s topic we will discuss about one of the most underrated plumbing parts. This part is behind the major plumbing processes without which not a single brass pipe can stand but still we fail to acknowledge the importance and don’t even give the due credit to this product.
Brass Elbow Pipe Fittings
We are talking about brass elbow pipe fittings. Elbows provide the support to the standing pipes. They act as the joining part which allows two pipes to get fix to a single elbow. These pipe fittings are reason behind the proper fixation of the plumbing pipes.
Brass elbow pipe fittings are preferably made with 90 degree angle so that the flow of water can be constant without any blockages. The water is flown from one pipe to another with the help of elbows as they makes the pipes join together. Brass elbow pipe fittings are mainly manufactured with the help of machineries and are specially designed from either ends so that they make get joint to the pipes from both the ends.
Once the pipes are tightened plumbing threads are also used to ensure proper gripping and avoiding of leakages. They are also machines glazed which means that these are smoothed with wooden filings so that they may not harm the plumber while fixing them. With their regular use they are now available with nickel and silver plating. They can be easily cleaned with soft water and any cleansing sprays.
Why Brass?
Brass is the main component of manufacturing of pipe fittings. Brass is one of the toughest metal and its following features makes them the most suited and sorted manufacturing base:
- Corrosion Free: This feature makes it the best component. If any plumbing part doesn't catches rust / corrosion then there are least chances of any leakage. .
- High Temperature: Brass easily bears high temperatures. When hot water is flown through brass pipe fittings then it don't effect on them. It doesn't melts like PVC fittings which ultimately surrender to hot water flow. .
- Flexible: Flexibility is another feather in the cap of brass parts. As elbows are needed to join the pipes they are specially designed in angular manner and brass helps in attaining that shape. The brass is tampered and converted to the shape of brass elbows.
Where Are Brass Elbow Pipe Fittings Used?
These are basically used in plumbing processes. Plumbing process is one of the main processes among many works in constructional sites. Plumbing can be done effectively without the use of Brass Elbow Pipe Fittings. These becomes the supportive parts by which long brass pipes are installed in towering buildings as they allow the brass pipes to tale turn as per construction design such as wall and ceilings.
Constructional sites don't select PVC pipe fittings when there is the need of underground fittings because of all the aforesaid features. PVC tends to leak with period and the last thing the constructional site needs is improper plumbing which can lead to other problems such as leakage, water seepage, electrical faults and etc.
