PEX Pipe Connection Method

2024-05-25

The connection methods of PEX pipes mainly include the following:

1. Electrofusion connection: including electrofusion socket connection and electrofusion saddle connection. The advantages of electrofusion connection are reliable connection quality and high construction efficiency. It is mainly suitable for pipe systems with smaller diameters. In recent years, with the advancement of technology, it has also begun to be applied to pipes with larger diameters.

2. Hot melt connection: including hot melt socket connection, hot melt saddle connection and hot melt butt connection. The PEX pipe is softened by heating, melting it with the surface of the pipe fitting, and then cooling to form a connection. Hot-melt butt connection is suitable for pipes and fittings with larger diameters because it uses less material, is easy to manufacture, and the connection quality is easy to ensure.

3. Mechanical connection: covering various methods such as threaded connection, flange connection, steel-plastic conversion connection, etc., especially suitable for occasions that need to be connected to metal pipes or equipment.

4. Compression connection: Use special compression joints to compress PEX pipes and fittings together. It is suitable for PEX pipes and fittings with smaller diameters and has the advantages of simple operation and convenient use.

5. Quick connector connection: Use special quick connectors to achieve quick connection without additional heating or compression operations, especially suitable for small and temporary connections.

In summary, there are various ways to connect PEX pipes, each with its own unique advantages and applicable scenarios. According to the specific needs and application environment, choosing the appropriate connection method can ensure the quality and reliability of the pipeline system, improve engineering efficiency and use safety.
