liitäntäputkia

Liitäntäputkia, often translated as connection pipes or coupling pipes, are components used to join two or more pipes or conduits together. These devices are essential in various systems, including plumbing, HVAC, electrical conduit installations, and industrial processes, to create continuous and leak-free pathways for fluids, gases, or electrical wiring. The design and material of a liitäntäputkia vary greatly depending on its intended application.

Common types of liitäntäputkia include threaded couplings, compression fittings, and welded connections. Threaded couplings typically have internal threads that screw onto the external threads of the pipes being joined, providing a secure mechanical connection. Compression fittings use a nut and a ferrule to create a seal by compressing the ferrule onto the pipe as the nut is tightened, often used in pneumatic or hydraulic systems where vibration might be a concern. Welded connections involve fusing the ends of the pipes and the liitäntäputkia together, creating a permanent and robust joint, commonly found in high-pressure or high-temperature applications.

Materials used for liitäntäputkia include metals like brass, stainless steel, and carbon steel, as well as plastics such as PVC and PEX. The choice of material is dictated by factors such as the fluid or gas being transported, operating temperature and pressure, and environmental conditions. Proper selection and installation of liitäntäputkia are critical for system integrity, preventing leaks, maintaining flow, and ensuring the overall safety and efficiency of the connected system.
