How do you make pipe connections?

Q: How do you make pipe connections?

We use the standardized small-end (male-end) and large-end (female-end) connection method, similar to professional plumbing fittings, to ensure a secure and airtight system. Components and Connections Fittings & Small Couplings: All fittings and small-end couplings (COUP) are male-end to easily slip into the pipe and flex hose (the female-end ). Pipe-to-Pipe: A small-end coupling (COUP) is used to connect two pipe sections. Fitting-to-Fitting: A large-end coupling (COU2) is used when connecting two male-end fittings directly to each other. Securing the Connection To complete the connection, follow these two crucial steps: Mechanical Bond: Secure the connection with pop-rivets . Chemical Bond: Apply silicone caulking around the outside of the connection. Wiping the silicone around the joint creates a strong airtight seal , preventing leakage and maximizing your collector's performance. If you ever need to change your system, the silicone caulking can be easily cut with a razor blade, allowing for simple removal and reconfiguring of the fittings.
