PB pipe is lightweight and flexible. This innovative pipe is easy to transport and fabricated even in limited working space. Also, it does not require sophisticated tools. PB, a polyolefin, made of Butene-1, is a high molecular weight, isotactic, and crystalline polymer.
- The fitting elements include a fitting body, grip ring, washer, rubber ring, and cap.
- A grip ring keeps a pipe in right position, and a rubber ring creates a leak-proof seal.
- Caution
Do not re-use a fitting element; otherwise a damaged grip ring may result in water leakage.
- A pipe cutting work must be at 90 degree by using a dedicated pipe-cutter. Rotate the pipe while being cut.
- Cut a 90-degree angle (against axis) on a pipe by using a pipe-cutter.
- Caution
A scratched or damaged fitting surface may result in water leakage. Keep the fitting elements away from abrasion and impurities.
- Insert a suitable support sleeve into pipe after pipe-cutting work.
- To avoid disconnected pipe-fitting, a pipe fitting must be in a perfect circular, and a grip ring must be securely tightened.
- Caution
An absence of support sleeve may result in disconnected pipe fitting.
- Hold the pipe toward the open of fitting; and push & fit the pipe until it reaches end of fitting.
- A pipe must be inserted in two-stages. Do not forget to push & fit it again after a cap is completely tightened.
- Caution
Incomplete insertion (eg. up to O-ring) may result in disconnected pipe fitting.
