BASIC CONNECTION INVOLVING PVC / GI PIPES AND PIPE FITTINGS

Aim:

To connect the PVC / GI pipe with pipe fittings like valves, bends and tap.

Fittings and Components Required:

1. Pipes of different length
2. Gate valve
3. Tap
4. Elbows
5. Reducer

Tools required:

Pipe wrench, Hack saw, Die set, Hammer, Screw driver, measuring tape.

Sequence of Operation:

a) Selection of pipes.
b) Threading of pipes.
c) Connection of the pipes with the pipe fittings

Working Steps:

1. The required pipe connection layout is drawn.
2. Two pipes of required lengths are taken and the ends are threaded using die set.
3. The gate valve which is internally threaded is connected between two pipes. The
other end of the pipe is connected with the elbow which is also internally threaded.
4. A third pipe, with external threads is connected to the elbow for vertical
extension.
5. To this pipe another elbow is attached at the free end.
6. The free end of the second elbow is connected with another pipe for horizontal
extension.
7. A reducer coupling, with internal threads is connected to the horizontal pipe.
8. A tap is connected properly to the end of the reducer coupling.

Result:
Hence the required connection is obtained using required pipes and pipe fittings.


PIPE LAYOUT











PREPARATION OF PIPE LINE FROM A WATER TANK TO WASH BASIN

Aim:

To prepare a pipe line from a water tank to a wash basin.

Fittings and Components Required:
1. Wash basin
2. Gate valves
3. Connecting pipes of different lengths.
4. Flexible pipes for inlet and drain.
5. Pipe fittings like tee-joint, elbow

Tools required:
Pipe wrench, Hack saw, Die set, Hammer and measuring tape.

Sequence of Operation:
a. Selection of pipes of required length.
b. Threading the ends of pipes as required.
c. Connection of the water tank to wash basin.

Working Steps:

1. Mark the location of wash basin and fix it properly
2. Fix the tap on the wash basin in the required position properly
3. Draw the pipeline sketch to connect the wash basin tap with the water tank.
4. Connect the water tank and the wash basin tap using required length of pipes
and pipe fittings.
5. Fix the flow control valve near the wash basin tap and connect its outlet with the
tap using flexible pipe.
6. Fix the flexible drain pipe from the wash basin to the common drain outlet.

Result:

Hence the pipeline to the wash basin from the water tank is made.
