Three-way valves: in, out and roundabout!
3-Way Ball Valves: Overview 3 ways are better than two.. A 3-way ball valve is typically used for mixing and diverting. It has three ports from which flow can be directed, allowing fluid an alternate path of travel, either when exiting or entering the valve. Three-way valves are an installers dream, they offer a save-spacing advantage, compared to the fitting of two […]
565 – Beats metal in every round
The 565 Butterfly valve: replace your existing metal valves Plastic Butterfly Valves have already proven to outperform metal valves in almost every way, thanks to a higher resistance against corrosion and lighter weight. Now, a new generation has arrived to beat metal in cost-effectiveness, too. The new Butterfly Valve 565 is the best choice […]
Tank Accessories
Tank Components Tanks play a vital role in the water treatment process through storage, transport and distribution of media. Therefore, it is important that the tank itself is up to specification, but the ancillary products are delivering optimal levels of performance. Whilst we do not sell tanks, we can offer a wide range of premium […]
Threaded Adaptors
A tapered thread becomes smaller in diameter the further you travel down the part, whereas a parallel thread maintains a consistent diameter all the way down the part.
When connecting plastic threads to create a pressure-tight seal via wedging, a tapered male into a parallel female or a parallel male into a parallel female is required (shown in diagram).
Pipe Clips – Loose vs fixed
Plastic pipe should be installed using supports designed for use with plastics and should then be installed taking care not to damage or overstress the pipe.
There are two commonly used supports: Fixed and Loose.
Firstly, lets look at pipe movement inside the brackets (depicted in the image below), followed by the design implications this has for plastic expansion.
Installation Tip: Smart Brush Selection To Reduce Solvent Evaporation
Solving the problem of Solvent evaporation What is solvent evaporation Solvent cement and primers that experience prolonged exposure to air are prone to dry out/evaporate quicker than sealed units; reducing reusability & Increasing installation costs. What can we do about it Smart brush selection and corrected can opening/resealing can go along way to preserving your […]
An Overview of Injection Valves: Quills vs Lances
Why Should You Use Injection Valves For Chemical Feed Systems Injection valves are designed to ensure a chemical feed system injects directly into the centre of the process stream; ensuring efficient mixing and preventing corrosion along the inside of the process pipe. Alternative methods such as a threaded tap, place unnecessary strain on the pipework […]
