Stationary irrigation lines of cottages made of metal are lengthened with pipes of a common diameter by welding. To increase the length of flexible watering systems, fittings for hoses are needed to prevent squeezing and depressurization. Leaks occur when connecting two segments in a primitive way - a metal pipe and clamps. A high-quality connecting fittings will ensure the reliability of the connection of the hose segments to the pump, but it is important to understand the classification and purpose of each connecting element.
Hose connectors vary in purpose, material of manufacture and technical specifications
Varieties of hose connectors
The integral elements of a flexible “external” water conduit are available in various materials:
- metal;
- polymer;
- composite.
In a dry summer, among the daily worries of a summer resident include “sprinkling” of remote corners of the garden. This work will be facilitated by a well-organized irrigation system, where not only fittings for connecting hoses are used, but also other elements of high-quality irrigation:
- flanges;
- fittings;
- adapters;
- adapters;
- turn signals (knee);
- universal connectors;
- connectors with different diameters on two sides;
- tees and crosses;
- couplings and clamps (as auxiliary equipment).
In addition to them, as options for adjusting the watering stream, there is a great demand for:
- cranes
- Filters
- stubs;
- valves
- sprinklers;
- sprinklers;
- "Pistols" (other nozzles).
You can adjust the pressure and water stream when using the irrigation hose with the help of special spray nozzles
Some nozzles inside have a rotating module - for better watering. Among the connecting devices, not only watering options are offered, but also elements of other functionality:
- fittings for joining gas hoses;
- nipples for washers;
- connectors for hoses and high pressure hoses (RVD);
- hydraulic fittings.
It is advisable to use the connectors not only to build up the hose, but also if its integrity is violated - the appearance of “fountains” or “unplanned drip irrigation”. Fittings with options are very convenient, allowing you to temporarily block the water without turning it off at the main valve. The relatively inexpensive and high-quality connectors Gardena and Hozelock are most in demand.
Hydraulic Fittings for WFD
High-quality elements for connecting hoses and high pressure hoses are produced by domestic and foreign companies. Their range is regularly updated, but the main list of items remains almost unchanged, but there are minor differences:
- on reliability and quality of articulation;
- in combination of diameters for adapters;
- in additional options.
When working with high-pressure hoses (sleeves), fittings of increased reliability should be selected
It is very convenient to use quick fittings for hydraulic hoses.
Different degrees of resistance to internal pressure in the connecting elements and assembly parts on the sleeves:
- low;
- high;
- ultra high pressure.
Where there is a large water pressure, when building up the sleeves it is impossible to do without specialized connectors or connectors. They will connect pieces of different lengths and diameters. When building couplings with flexible teeth, 2 hoses are joined in the most reliable way.
Important! To branch the water flow into several hoses, you do not need to look for connection methods, for this, distributors are intended. 3-4 hoses are connected to them, and each can be equipped with a crane to adjust the pressure and volume of water.
The production of specialized fittings for hydraulics is a modern solution when it is necessary to connect hoses and high pressure hoses. Metal devices can withstand a significant increase in pressure in a system with a high load. Plastic connectors are designed for the normal load of domestic irrigation systems.
What to look for when buying
Thanks to high-quality fittings for hydraulics, the flow of water under pressure is not only regulated, but also shut off without access to the point of direct connection. Among the most reliable manufacturers of this profile, the most trusted customers are connectors of the Hypress, Hydac, Faster brands.
Fittings connect hoses to pumps, hydrants and other equipment
Advice! If there were problems with connecting hoses or high pressure hoses, blocking the water flow and adjusting it, you should not solve the problems in an archaic way - buy high-quality accessories, where everything is thought out to the smallest detail. They are produced from harmless materials that do not affect the quality of drinking water.
Hydraulic connecting fittings help to connect branching hoses or hoses directly from the pump to fire fighting equipment, water pipes and hoses for a garden pond or fountain. Devices with the possibility of overlapping on any branch will provide water savings and the simplest operating conditions for the common system, moreover, without fear of pressure inside it.
An important advantage of branded connectors, fittings, nipples and adapters is the quick adjustment and shutdown of the water supply by hitchhiking, as well as convenient hand grip. When choosing the necessary parts for catalogs, do not rush to purchase. Each product item has a technical description indicating the capabilities and advantages.
When choosing fittings for hydraulic systems and high pressure hoses, it is advisable to give preference to all elements from one manufacturer in order to exclude incompatibility and the ratio of diameters inside the fittings and couplings.
