Pipe lines can be not only permanent, but also temporary. The classic connection using a welding machine or fittings is not always justified. Since after a short period of time the highway will have to be disassembled. Quality quick couplers solve the problem. The main thing is to choose them correctly from a wide range.
Features and advantages of couplers
The compact dimensions and efficiency of connecting two sections of the pipe line are not the only advantage of this device. The product, depending on the design, has a number of other operational advantages. The main factors of their choice are the following qualities:
- minimal weight, connectors are easy to carry in large quantities;
- good resistance to mechanical wear and corrosion;
- sealing is achieved due to the shape and additional seals;
- possibility of simple repair in the field;
- quick extension of the pipe line without length limitation.
Important: Quick couplings have a number of limitations. But, despite this, they continue to enjoy stable popularity in a number of areas. The connections do not spoil individual pipe sections at all, prolonging their normal service life, even in difficult conditions.
Main scope
Each product has its own range of use. Quick-release connections are in demand in a wide range, both among industry and in everyday life. In addition, the device has many variations of fixing individual pipe sections. But, the following areas can be distinguished in general areas of application:
- Compressor equipment, for connecting compressed air hoses.
- Create a temporary line with flexible or rigid pipe.
- The need to obtain a pipeline with high tightness in a short time.
- At car service stations.
- Welding equipment for supplying the gas mixture to the burners.
Since the mounts are quite versatile and extremely reliable in operation, they can be used in almost any area of human activity. The main thing is to prevent excess pressure in the line, for which this or that type of fastening is designed. Particularly popular are products made of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals.
