BMP_FlexBellows "Flexible Bellows"
|
Flexible Bellows — A pair of rigid boards
with handles joined by flexible leather sides enclosing an approximately
airtight cavity which can be expanded and contracted by operating the handles.
Usually fitted with a valve allowing air to fill the cavity when expanded, and
with a tube through which the air is forced out in a stream when the cavity is
compressed. It has many applications, in particular blowing on a fire to supply
it with air.
|
Elbows
|
BMP_Elbow "Default Elbow"
|
Elbow — Elbow fittings used to reduce flow
resistance and solids deposition when the direction of flow is changed.
|
BMP_BendWithHeel "Bend With Heel"
|
Bend With Heel — The elbow to connect two
pipes at a 90° angle and a low heel inlet suitable for waste water systems.
|
BMP_ReturnBend ReturnBend
|
Return Bend — "U" shaped bend fitting
usually a long radius type making 180° change in direction
|
BMP_ElbowUnion " Default Elbow"
|
Elbow Union — Standard elbow fitting with
hex union at one end. Ideal for joining two pipes at angles, usually 90°,
changing direction of flow of liquid
|
BMP_TwinElbow "TwinElbow"
|
Twin Elbow — Elbow with two ends for
diverting flow of liquid in a required angles or branches bent in desired
radius.
|
| Reducer & Cross
|
|
BMP_Transition "Default Transition"
|
Reducer — A reducer allows for a change in
pipe size to meet the flow requirements of the system, or to adapt to existing
piping of a different size.
|
BMP_Cross Cross
|
Cross — Standard cross is a 4-way piping
fittings, where a branch line passes through a tee. It has one inlet and three
outlets, or vice versa.
|
BMP_SanitaryCross "SanitaryCross"
|
Sanitary Cross — Similar to a cross. This
fitting differs from a standard cross in that two of the ports have curved
inlets. The fitting has been used in the past for connecting the drains of
back-to-back fixtures (such as back-to-back bathroom sinks).
|
Traps
|
BMP_Ptrap1 "Default Ptrap"
|
P-Trap — drain-waste-vent (DWV) fitting,
addition of a 90° fitting on the outlet side of a U-bend, thereby creating a
P-like shape.
|
|
BMP_SPtrap S-PTrap
|
S P-Trap — An S-shaped trap is also known
as the S-bend. The fitting incorporates U-bend used to prevent sewer gases from
entering buildings.
|
BMP_Ptrap "P-Trap With Heel"
|
P-Trap with Heel — A sink trap formed with
a bend attached with a low heel inlet usually installed under most house sinks
suitable for waste water systems.
|
BMP_PtrapGully "PtrapGully"
|
Ptrap Gully — A round gully having a
trapped receptacle at surface level that waste or storm water can pass through
easily but gases, odors and rodents from the drainage and sewer system can not
pass back the other way.
|
Tees & Wyes
|
BMP_Tee "Default Tee"
|
Tee — T-shaped pipe fitting having two
outlets, at 90° to the connection to the main line. A tee is used for
connecting pipes of different diameters or for changing the direction of pipe
runs.
|
BMP_SanitaryTee "Sanitary Tee"
|
Sanitary Tee — A sanitary tee is a tee with
a curved center section. In drainage systems it is primarily used to connect
horizontal drains (including fixture trap arms) to vertical drains. The center
connection is generally connected to the pipe which leads to a trap (the trap
arm).
|
BMP_Wye "Default Wye"
|
Wye — A standard wye is a "Y" shaped
fitting with three openings. A wye is used to create branch lines. It is a type
of waste fitting tee which has the side inlet pipe entering at a 45° angle, or
an angle other than 90°. Allows one pipe to be joined to another at a 45°
angle.
|
BMP_H-BranchWye H-BranchWye
|
H-Branch Wye — A branch line is angled to
tee in H shape to reduce friction and turbulence that could hamper the flow.
|
BMP_LateralWye LateralWye
|
Lateral Wye — Wye fitting joins one pipe
run to branch that runs in one direction at an angle, usually 45° to the main
run. The lateral outlet providing smooth pipe branch.
|
Flanges
|
BMP_FlangeWeldNeck "Weld Neck Flange"
|
Weld Neck Flange — A short cylindrical component used to
seal and reinforce the connection between a fitting and a conductor. A flange
fits around the conductor and is held in place by clamps.
Weld Neck Flanges are designed to be joined to a piping
system by butt welding
|
BMP_FlangeSlipOn "SlipOn Flange"
|
Slip On Flange — Slip On flanges are
slipped over the pipe and then welded from both inside and outside to provide
sufficient strength and prevent leakage.
|
BMP_Gasket Gasket
|
Gasket — Gaskets are used for sealing of
flange joints, and they are not be reused.
|
BMP_FlangeBlind "Blind Flange"
|
Blind Flange — Blind flanges do not have a
bore and are used to shut off a piping system or vassal opening. Its design
permits easy access to vassal or piping system for inspection purpose.
