Advantages of Grooved Fitting Connections

Mar 10, 2023

1. Simple operation
The connection operation of grooved pipe fittings is very simple, no special professional skills are required, and ordinary workers can operate after simple training. This is because the product has incorporated a large number of fine technical parts into the finished product in a factory manner. A pipe connection takes only a few minutes, the maximum
It greatly simplifies the technical difficulty of on-site operation and saves man-hours, thereby stabilizing the project quality and improving work efficiency. This is also the general direction of the development of installation technology.

The traditional welding and flange connection pipe connection methods not only require welding workers with corresponding skills, but also time-consuming, difficult operation for workers, and pollution from welding fumes. Due to differences in operating space and welding skills, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results in welding quality and appearance, thus affecting the overall quality of the project. In addition, because the grooved pipe fittings are finished products, the operation space required on site is small, and it can be installed against the wall and corner, and the operation difficulty is greatly reduced, thereby saving the floor area and beautifying the effect of pipe installation.

2. The original characteristics of the pipeline are not affected
The connection of grooved pipe fittings only extrudes a groove on the outer surface of the connected pipe with a rolling groove machine without destroying the inner wall structure of the pipe. This is a unique technical advantage of grooved pipe fittings connection. Many pipelines with anti-corrosion coatings on the inner wall will be damaged if traditional welding operations are used. Therefore, the specification stipulates that galvanized pipes, plastic-lined steel pipes, steel-plastic composite pipes, etc. shall not be welded or flanged, otherwise secondary treatment is required.

3. Conducive to construction safety
Adopting the grooved pipe fitting connection technology, only a cutting machine, a rolling groove machine and a wrench for tightening bolts are needed on site, and the construction organization is convenient. However, welding and flange connections need to be equipped with complex power cables, cutting machines, welding machines, oxygen 4 and acetylene cylinders, etc., which brings complexity to the construction organization, and there are also dangers of leakage and fire. Hidden danger. At the same time, the welding slag generated by welding and gas cutting can avoid falling into the pipeline, which is easy to cause pipeline valve parts and even equipment blockage during use, and also pollutes the water quality in the pipeline. In addition, welding and flange connection inevitably require long-term high-intensity high-altitude operations, and production safety accidents are also prone to occur.

4. The system is stable and easy to maintain
The grooved pipe fittings connection has a unique flexible feature, which makes the pipeline have the ability to resist vibration, shrinkage and expansion. Compared with welding and flange connection, the stability of the pipeline system is increased, and it is more suitable for temperature changes, thus protecting The valve parts of the pipeline are reduced, and the damage to the structural parts caused by the pipeline stress is also reduced. Due to the simple connection operation of the grooved pipe fittings, the required operating space is reduced, which brings many conveniences for future maintenance. When the pipeline needs to be repaired and replaced, just loosen the two clips to replace, rotate and modify a section of pipeline at will. There is no need to destroy the surrounding walls, which reduces the maintenance time and cost.

5. Economic analysis
The connection operation of the grooved pipe fittings is simple, labor-saving and time-saving, so it has good economic benefits. Many articles have done economic analysis, thinking that "the clamp connection is used, although the price of a single component of the clamp is higher, but the overall benefit of the entire pipe network installation is higher than that of the flange connection".
