Article Introduction The type of glue you use to join PVC pipe & fittings is called “solvent weld,” and these two words tell you the reason why it’s 99 percent impossible to separate pvc pipes and pipe fitting  once they are glued together. This type of glue isn’t a surface coating; it’s a PVC solvent that actually melts plastic. When you spread this glue on a pair of pipes and join them, the melted plastic of both pipes hardens into a single piece. This makes trying to unglue a joint a bit like trying to unbake a cookie. When they need to repair a pvc pipe fittings joint, which is common, plumbers usually cut out the joint and install a new…

Article Introduction Need to remove a PVC pipe or fitting that’s already glued in place? Here’s the honest answer up front: PVC joined with solvent cement cannot be unglued. The joint is a chemical weld, not a glue bond. But it can be separated — using one of the three methods in this guide: twisting, cutting, or heating. Note: these methods are for non-pressure applications. If you’re removing PVC pipe or PVC pipe fittings from a pressure system, follow the standards that apply to that service and do not reuse affected parts. Why PVC Can’t Be Unglued Primer and solvent cement don’t glue PVC — they weld it. When applied to the pipe and fitting surfaces, the cement dissolves the PVC and the two pieces fuse…

Article Introduction CPVC piping systems are assembled using solvent cement. Solvent cement chemically fuses the pipe and fittings together at the molecular level, creating one continuous piece of plastic. The resulting seam becomes the strongest part of the entire system Article Content： Installation Tools and Accessories Application of CPVC pipe bonding connection CPVC pipe and fittings connection steps About SAM-UK Installation Tools and Accessories Tools: gauges, hand saws or cutters, markers Material: CPVC pipe and fittings, clean cloth, CPVC glue Application of CPVC pipe bonding connection bonding connection is widely used in the CPVC pipe system, the pipe and pipe connections and pipe and pipe connection.

Article Introduction At present, PVC processing requires precise control of various stages (such as a variety of raw materials mixing ratio, injection time, etc.). Pipes directly use the mixture extrusion molding, and pipe fittings need granulation machine made of granular materials, and then injection molding. This article is mainly about the introduction of PVC pipe fittings injection molding process. Article Content Production materials and processes Production conditions Production stages and processes About SAM-UK Production materials and processes PVC material is a white powder, need to add stabilizer and processing aids. One of the most important stage is the formula and mix, the selection of raw materials and ingredients, mixing are to maintain strict norms. Pipes directly use the mixture extrusion…

Article Introduction Winter water pipes are improperly protected from freezing, and this problem is a major problem for the majority of users. PPR Pipe has become an important pipe for household water. PPR Pipe has the unique advantages of moderate price, stable performance, heat-resistant insulation, corrosion resistance, smooth and non-scaling inner wall, safe and reliable use, and easy to leak. first choice. However, when the winter weather is cold and the temperature is low, people are most worried about the freezing of water pipes, especially in the colder parts of the north. The water pipes are easy to freeze. Once they are frozen, they cannot use tap water normally, which brings great life to the residents. here, SAM-UK pipe industry…

Article Introduction PVC drainage pipe is a lot of people familiar with, in many places will choose, with the use of more and more widely, many people want to know how to install? What is the correct installation method for PVC drains? Here to give you a simple explanation.

Some people say that many times to buy a lot of drainage pipes are life is very short, all attributed to the PVC pipe manufacturers to produce product quality problems above, it is not true, some of the installation process is not correct,…

Article Introduction PVC pipe is known for their rigidity, toughness and ductility. They are widely used in various fields such as residential and water supply and drainage, agricultural irrigation and chemical transport. One of the shortcomings of PVC is that the operating temperature can’t be higher than 45 degrees Celsius. If a long time under high temperature, PVC material will become soft, loss of rigidity, easy to deformation. As with all thermoplastic materials, PVC leads to softness by heating. When the PVC pipe absorbs enough heat, it can be bent. This method has been widely used in garden irrigation.
