Guides to choosing and installing polyethylene pipes and fittings, based on the standards and technical data of the products themselves.
A practical guide to connecting polyethylene pipe: compression fittings without a machine, butt fusion and electrofusion, connecting to valve and pump flanges with a stub end and backing ring, connecting to metal pipe on gas lines, and taking branches; with a table of which fitting and size each job needs.
A guide to orchard piping for drip irrigation: which pressure class and size of polyethylene main line, 16 and 20 mm lateral tubing, drip tape, micro tubing, ball valves and compression fittings, clamp saddles, and the list of items to prepare for an order.
What PE cable duct pipe (power conduit) is, how solid-wall, single-wall corrugated and double-wall cable pipe differ, sizes from 40 to 200 mm with wall and weight, coils or bars, a real Tavanir project and what to state when ordering.
What a PE pipe clamp saddle (branch saddle) is, how a compression saddle differs from an electrofusion tapping tee, what a 1 inch or 6 inch saddle means, a table of main-pipe and outlet sizes, the fitting steps and what to state when ordering.
Which valve for polyethylene pipe? The double-ended compression PE ball valve for small sizes, ductile iron gate and butterfly valves for large lines, check valves to protect pumps, the Y-strainer, how a flanged valve connects to PE pipe, and a size table.
How many kinds of PE pipe welding machine there are, how manual and hydraulic butt-fusion machines differ, what an electrofusion unit is for, which machine suits which diameter, why iron welding is not advised for pressure lines, and what to ask when buying.
