2. Compression fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_fitting

   A compression fitting 15 mm isolating valve. A compression fitting is a fitting used in plumbing and electrical conduit systems to join two tubes or thin-walled pipes together. . In instances where two pipes made of dissimilar materials are to be joined (most commonly PVC and copper), the fittings will be made of one or more compatible materials appropriate for the connect

3. Back-up ring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-up_ring

   A back-up ring is a rigid ring that holds an elastomeric seal or plastic (such as Polyethylene) connection to its designed shape and in its correct place. Back up rings are commonly used with O-rings, lip seals, and as reciprocating shaft seals. They are also used for piping connections joining two different materials - typically one flexible ...

4. Tube bending - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_bending

   Bent tubing A trombone with some U-bends. Tube bending is any metal forming processes used to permanently form pipes or tubing.Tube bending may be form-bound or use freeform-bending procedures, and it may use heat supported or cold forming procedures.

5. Compression seal fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_seal_fitting

   In mechanical engineering, a compression seal fitting, also known as a sealing gland, is intended to seal some type of element (probe, wire, conductor, pipe, tube, fiber-optic cable, etc.) when the element must pass through a pressure or environmental boundary. [1] A compression seal fitting may serve several purposes:

6. Crimp (joining) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimp_(joining)

   Crimp tool for 0.14 mm 2 to 10 mm 2 (26–8 AWG) insulated and non-insulated ferrules. Crimping is a method of joining two or more pieces of metal or other ductile material by deforming one or both of them to hold the other. The bend or deformity is called the crimp. [1] [2] Crimping tools are used to create crimps.

   For instance, 1/2" PeX tubing is the same size as 1/2" copper tubing. 1/2" PVC on the other hand is not the same size as 1/2" tubing, and therefore requires either a threaded male or female adapter to connect them.

8. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

   A cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links.It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play mats.

9. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   Push-to-pull fittings are easily removed compression fitting that allows pipes to be connected with minimal tools. These fittings are similar to regular compression fittings but use an O-ring for sealing and a grip ring to hold the pipe. The main advantage is that it can easily be removed and re-used, it is easy to assemble, and the joints are ...
