Sharing of dry tips on the use of stainless steel seamless elbows
Stainless steel seamless elbows, as the “joints” of pipelines, can make the pipeline system lively if used correctly, but if used incorrectly, they can leak water in minutes and lead to doubts about life.
Below is a direct sharing of valuable information:
1. Install hard rules
The installation of stainless steel seamless elbows only requires a click to align with the pipeline, but attention should be paid to the direction of medium flow. It is more stable to install the valve with the opening facing downwards, otherwise liquid backflow can push the valve open. Also, remember not to turn the screws to one side when tightening, otherwise the gasket may become crooked or leak air.
2. Maintenance operation
Regularly apply food grade lubricating grease to the threaded parts, just like maintaining a bicycle chain. If it rusts and gets stuck, it will be useless. If used by the seaside or in a chemical plant, wipe the weld seam with pH test paper every quarter. If discoloration is found, quickly acid wash and passivate it, which can last for several years.
3. Use minefields
When changing the direction of the pipeline, it should not be forcefully bent. For bends exceeding 90 degrees, two 45 degree elbows should be used to connect them. Directly using a large angle elbow can easily cause internal damage; When installing high-temperature pipelines in the boiler room, remember to leave some expansion joints, otherwise thermal expansion and contraction can cause the weld to break open, just like water pipes freezing and cracking in winter.
Although stainless steel seamless elbows are very durable, they cannot be used as load-bearing supports. When the pipeline sinks, the elbow will be bent alive, just like bending iron wire, which is irreversible!
