Rørdel

Rørdel is a Danish word that translates to "pipe fitting" in English. It refers to any component used to connect or modify pipes in a piping system. These fittings are essential for creating functional and adaptable plumbing, heating, ventilation, and industrial fluid transport systems.

The variety of rørdel is extensive, catering to different needs and materials. Common types include couplings, which join two pipes of the same size; reducers, used to transition between pipes of different diameters; elbows, which change the direction of flow, typically at 90 or 45 degrees; tees, which branch off a main pipe to create a junction; and flanges, used for connecting pipes to valves, pumps, or other equipment, often providing a secure and detachable seal.

Rørdel can be manufactured from a wide range of materials, including metals like steel, stainless steel, copper, and brass, as well as plastics such as PVC and PEX. The choice of material depends on factors like the fluid being transported, operating temperature and pressure, and environmental conditions. Connection methods also vary, with common techniques including threaded connections, welding, soldering, compression fittings, and push-fit systems. The proper selection and installation of rørdel are crucial for the integrity, efficiency, and safety of any piping network.
