IFAN HDPE Compression Coupling

Introduction

IFAN is a well-known brand in the field of plastic piping systems, and their HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) compression couplings are widely used for connecting pipes in a variety of applications. HDPE compression couplings are designed to join pipes securely without the need for welding, flanges, or other complex joining methods. These couplings are particularly popular in water, gas, and irrigation systems, as well as in industrial applications where leak-free, durable connections are crucial.

Industry Knowledge

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is a highly durable and versatile thermoplastic material that has become the material of choice for many piping systems due to its excellent resistance to chemicals, impact, and corrosion. HDPE compression couplings offer a mechanical solution to connecting pipes, making them particularly useful in both residential and industrial applications.

Compression couplings consist of several parts that, when tightened, create a strong and leak-free joint between two pipes. These parts typically include:

• Body/Barrel: The main central part of the coupling that holds the pipes.
• Compression Nut: A threaded nut that, when tightened, compresses the sealing mechanism inside the coupling.
• O-Rings/Seals: Rubber or elastomer seals that ensure the connection is leak-proof when compressed.
• Compression Sleeve: A metal or plastic sleeve that enhances the sealing action and prevents the pipes from slipping out.
• ASTM D3035、ASTM D3350、ISO 4427
