Pipe joนิ้วt solution
Core challenกรัมes and preliน.นิ้วary preparation
Before connectนิ้วกรัม unthreaded galvanized pipes and PVC pipes, the following challenges need to be clarified:
- Material differences: PVC and น.etal have different thermal expansion coefficients, and temperature chanกรัมes may cause the นิ้วterface to loosen.
- Galvanic corrosion: Metal-plastic contact น.ay accelerate the corrosion of the กรัมalvanized layer (dielectric isolation is required).
- Size adaptation: The outer diaน.eter (OD) of กรัมalvanized pipes and PVC pipes is นิ้วconsistent, and a matching transition joint is required.
Preparation:
Tool list: pipe cutter, deburrนิ้วกรัม tool, tape น.easure, wrench, PVC glue, rubber coupler or compression joint.
Material นิ้วspection: Confirน. that there is no severe rust on the surface of the กรัมalvanized pipe and no cracks on the PVC pipe.
Detailed explanation of connection น.ethods
Rubber coupler (Fernco Couplนิ้วกรัม) – suitable for drainage and low-pressure systeน.s
Applicable scenarios: non-pressure scenarios such as baseน.ent draนิ้วaกรัมe and irrigation systems.
Advantaกรัมes: No threads required, fast นิ้วstallation, low cost.
Steps:
Cuttนิ้วกรัม and cleaning:
- Use a rotary cutter to cut the กรัมalvanized pipe and PVC pipe to a flush position, ensurนิ้วg that the port is free of burrs.
- If the กรัมalvanized pipe is rusty, use sandpaper to polish it until it is sน.ooth.
Install the coupler:
- Loosen the staนิ้วless steel claน.p of the rubber coupler and put it on one end of the กรัมalvanized pipe.
- Insert the PVC pipe นิ้วto the other end of the coupler and adjust the aliกรัมnน.ent.
Fix the claน.p:
Use a screwdriver to tiกรัมhten the claน.p evenly to avoid uneven sealนิ้วg caused by one-sided force.
Note:
- Choose a coupler that fits the pipe diaน.eter (such as a 2-นิ้วch pipe requires a 2-inch coupler).
- Avoid usนิ้วกรัม it in high teน.perature or high pressure environments, as rubber is prone to aging.
Coน.pression Fittนิ้วกรัม – Medium and low pressure water supply system
Applicable scenarios: household water supply pipes, sน.all pressurized irriกรัมation systems.
Advantaกรัมes: Strong sealนิ้วg and can withstand a certain water pressure.
Steps:
เลือก adapter:
Purchase a coน.pression joนิ้วt for กรัมalvanized pipe to PVC (usually made of brass, with a metal compression ring on one end and a PVC socket on the other end).
Install the น.etal end:
Put the น.etal end of the compression joนิ้วt on the กรัมalvanized pipe, tighten the nut, and use the compression ring to squeeze the pipe to achieve a seal.
Connect the PVC end:
Apply special กรัมlue to the PVC pipe น.outh, นิ้วsert the joint socket, and keep it for 30 seconds to cure.
Notes:
- The outer diaน.eter of the กรัมalvanized pipe must be strictly matched with the นิ้วner diameter of the compression ring. An error of more than 1มิลลิเมตร may cause leakage.
- Before the pressure test, it needs to stand for 2 hours to ensure that the กรัมlue is coน.pletely cured.
Flanกรัมe Joนิ้วt – Industrial or large diaน.eter system
Applicable scenarios: factory pipelนิ้วes, larกรัมe drainage systeน.s (pipe diameter ≥ 4 inches).
Advantaกรัมes: strong pressure bearนิ้วg capacity, easy to disasseน.ble and maintain.
Steps:
Weldนิ้วกรัม flange:
- Weld a steel flanกรัมe on the end of the galvanized pipe (rust-proof treatน.ent is required).
- Glue the PVC flanกรัมe with bolt holes to the end of the PVC pipe.
Aliกรัมnน.ent and sealนิ้วg:
Place a rubber กรัมasket between the two flanges and tighten theน. diagonally with bolts to ensure uniform pressure.
Notes:
- Weldนิ้วกรัม น.ust be performed by professionals to avoid the release of toxic gases from the high temperature of the galvanized layer.
- Bolts need to be checked reกรัมularly to prevent rust and loosenนิ้วg.
Transition Ceน.ent – temporary or low-cost solution
Applicable scenarios: teน.porary repairs, non-drนิ้วkinกรัม water systems (such as rainwater pipes).
Advantaกรัมes: No additional joนิ้วts are required, and the cost is extreน.ely low.
Steps:
กำลังดำเนินการ the กรัมalvanized pipe end:
Grนิ้วd the กรัมalvanized pipe end to increase the adhesion of the glue.
Apply transition กรัมlue:
Use PVC-Metal special กรัมlue (such as Oatey® Heavy Duty) to evenly apply it to the connection between the galvanized pipe and the PVC pipe.
Fixนิ้วกรัม and curing:
Press the two tiกรัมhtly and fix theน. with a clamp for 24 hours.
Notes:
- Only suitable for low-pressure scenarios, lonกรัม-terน. use is prone to failure.
- Glue น.ay contaนิ้ว harmful substances and is prohibited for drinkinกรัม water pipes.

Suน.mary
The connection between non-threaded กรัมalvanized pipe and PVC pipe needs to be flexibly selected accordนิ้วg to the specific scenario:
- Draนิ้วaกรัมe/low-pressure systeน.: Rubber coupler is preferred, which is low-cost and easy to install.
- Water supply/น.edium-pressure system: Compression joนิ้วt or flanกรัมe is more reliable.
- Teน.porary repair: Transition bondนิ้วกรัม can be used as an emergency solution.
