The type of plastic that would be used in a plastic fitting is a type of thermoplastic called PVC, or polyvinyl chloride. PVC is commonly used in plastic fittings because it's durable, and can't be corroded.
Like,, leather jackets, converses, oversized tees, plastic sunglasses, yeah.
Yes, first the Galvanized pipe has to be threaded with a standard thread for pipes, then you buy the correct female socket threaded plastic fitting, screw it onto the pipe using Thread pipe sealing tape, then glue your piping into the socket part of the plastic fitting, simple. Cheers.
To effectively loosen a stuck plastic pipe fitting, you can try using a lubricant such as WD-40 or a penetrating oil to help loosen the fitting. You can also use a pipe wrench or adjustable pliers to grip the fitting securely and apply steady pressure in a counterclockwise direction to loosen it. Be careful not to apply too much force, as this can damage the fitting.

A power steering hose often comes with a plastic fitting in a bag to protect the fitting from damage during shipping and handling. This fitting ensures a proper seal and connection when installing the hose, preventing leaks and ensuring effective power steering system performance. Additionally, including the fitting helps streamline the installation process, making it easier for technicians or DIYers to replace the hose.
yes you can put a metal fitting on a plastic pipe but it is not highly recommended but if you must use it make sure that you wrap both fittings with teflon tape in the opposite direction of the threads and be sure not to tighten to to tight this will cause the plastic to bust i hope this has helped
Slide back the plastic cover to expose the "E" clip on the fitting. Remove the "E" clip with a small pick and then wiggle out the transmission line from the fitting. To install, replace the "E" ring first then snap the line back in and replace the plastic cover over the fitting.
To remove a compression fitting from plastic tubing, first make sure the water supply is turned off. Then, use an adjustable wrench to loosen the compression nut by turning it counterclockwise. Once the nut is loose, you can slide it off the tubing and remove the fitting. Be careful not to damage the tubing during this process.
At the radiator, pop off the plastic cover and slide it back aways, then using a pick remove the "C" clip that is now exposed, once the clip is removed you can wiggle the line out of the fitting. Install the clip back into the fitting before you snap the line back in then slide the plastic cover back over the fitting.
yes, otherwise its just another burden to take the time to fix later...
all hardware stores sell adaptors to change from copper to plastic. You solder the adaptor to the copper pipe and attach the plastic pipe to this adaptor using screw clamps to tighten the plastic pipe on the adaptor. To be honest. This answer seems like a bush plumbers answer. To be technically correct. In order for you to connect plastic piping to copper piping one fitting is used and it is called a conex fitting, otherwise called cxc fitting. It has a nut and ring on either side of the joint and this type of fitting can be used on either copper or plastic making it ideal. As you tighten the nut the ring inside tightens onto either the plastic or copper making a water tight connection. It is said above that soldering a copper joint and then attaching it to the plastic pipe is the way but in my experience if you try do that, the heat from the soldering will melt the plastic pipe. Take the safer route and more professional route and use conex fittings.
