Today, the use of pipelines for transportation of various substances will certainly lead to continuous improvement of the technologies of their design. With proper arrangement, pipelines are the most economical, convenient and fast way to transfer and distribute raw materials. With any construction, the question of choosing the most efficient way of sealing pipes to ensure maximum continuous uninterrupted operation. The problem of registration of engineering systems in the private construction of their own home is particularly relevant.

Why seal pipelines?

The process of sealing links of any of the engineering systems is most important during installation. The result is the use of high-quality insulating material and properly performed:

• comfortable accommodation without emergency situations
• lack of leaks for a long period
• no corrosion
• and prevents the development of mold fungi
• no stains on the walls and deformation.

What materials are used to seal pipe connections?

A few years ago there was a single way to design waterproofing of pipelines - winding pacle. The current sealant market is much wider. Make a choice based on suitable conditions for use, technical characteristics, material composition and personal preferences.

Important! Immediately before purchased, read the list of the most sought-after ways to seal the joints of pipes and follow these recommendations in the process of choice.

Flax or packle

The most ancient and cheap method, the system assembly with which, occurs in several technologies:

• Dry. Fibers are wound on the fittings for the fittings. This method of creating sealing sewer pipes, hot and cold supply water pipes does not provide a high-quality connection. Moreover, it is spoiled in this case and the pipes themselves, and fittings, covering rust. For high-pressure pipelines, the use of this method is limited, since it is not effective.
• On painting. Pre-painting pipes and soaking in the pacular solution significantly increases the reliability of the attachment.
• With Olifa and Lead Surikom. The degree of protection in this case, when compliance with the entire technology, corresponds to a sufficiently high level.

General advantages of all methods using packs:

• Availability of material
• Economy
• Not bad level of pipeline protection with the right choice of suitable technology
• An excellent option for registration of adjusting fittings of the type of ball cranes.

Important! When choosing this method, consider some drawbacks:

• With the appearance of condensate, flax is impregnated with moisture and rot
• when used on hot water pipe and heating - burns out and breaks
• requires the skills and knowledge of work with the material
• enough "dirty" method
• invalid for use in high pressure pipelines.

Plumbing thread

Features of this material: Fiber artificial origin, specially treated with a powerful moisture-repellent substance and transformed into a dense nylon thread. Available in the form of a conveniently formed coil inside a plastic container with a dispenser.

Important! According to the efficiency of protection, the system with the installation of sanitary filament is close to the result of the use of a packley connected to a silicone sealant.

PRINCIPLE OF USE: Mix the finished fiber directly to the turns of the shut-off and connecting reinforcement.

Advantages of Plumbing Thread:

• High Reliability and Insulation Duration
• Easy installation
• Perfectly opposed moisture penetration
• Eliminates the appearance of fungus or corrosion
• Mechanical stability
• The ability to reverse by 180 degrees
• Keeps its action even with incomplete tightening
• Suitable for assembling systems with different types of threads - and cylindrical, and conical.

As deficiencies, we note:

• High value material
• the impossibility of using in a chemical activity and saturated oxygen
• it is impractical for pipes of large diameter.

Popular stamps:

• Unipak
• Ceresit.
• Loctite
• Multipak
• Valtec.

Ribbon Fuma

Polymer self-adhesive tape for pipe sealing, the full name of which is a sealing fluoroplastic material.

The principle of use is similar to the previous sealing method - winding the strip of finished material on the threads of the wave tension, but requires twisting in the run.

Important! Features of the tape allow you to apply this method of waterproofing for the design of plugs, rugs, jacks of sewer pipes, taps, rotary angles and, of course, any linear sections.

Among the explicit advantages of using this material, we will select the following:

• Ability to use for pipelines with any pressure and internal medium (withstands high temperature - up to 300C), even explosive
• Does not dry, but does not rot and does not corrodies
• Dielectricity
• Smooth surface that greatly facilitates installation
• Small friction due to the features of the surface of the ribbon
• Thin layer of material, thereby eliminating the problem of creating a layer of the desired thickness
• Convenient in application
• Affordable price.

Despite such a long list of advantages, the use of FMUM tape has both disadvantages that will definitely consider when choosing a material:

• Inability to use for positioned valve valve valves and cranes
• Mechanical and vibratory loads necessarily lead to depressurization of the connection
• Returnable rotary movements of fittings during installation and operation necessarily lead to the rapid insulation.

The most popular brands:

• Bande Adealu.
• BUTILENE.
• Cyclon.
• Ekobit.
• Fado.

Lubrication anaerobic

This method of waterproofing pipelines is distinguished by practicality and ease of use. Anaerobic structure is created by one-component composition of the substance. An extremely easy way to use: the surface of the surface required by sealing, the layer of the desired thickness.

Plumbing lubricants are especially demand due to a number of advantages:

• Indispensability if it is necessary to create a maximum dense connection
• Easy installation
• High flexibility
• Does not give swelling and shrinkage
• Easy removal of surplus, manifested after installation
• No need for work skills
• Excellent adhesion with metal
• High-quality sealing, regardless of the type of screw thread and location of the connection
• Permissible use in increased emergency and safety (high temperatures, pressure)
• Low price.

Disadvantages of this material:

• Restriction of the recommended pipe diameter
• Does not freeze at low temperatures
• Do not combine with an acidic and oxygen medium.

Surchated stamps:

• Loctite
• Technicqll
• Permabond
• Unilux
• Sainier.

Silicone sealant

In modern construction, the tighting of the pipes with a sealant on silicone basis is used everywhere. Quite often to make the maximum strength to hermetic compound, it is used simultaneously with the fibrous material.

The advantages include the following characteristics:

• Excellent adhesion indicators not only with porous metal surfaces, but also perfectly colored painted or plastic products
• Elasticity
• Durability of the compound
• High pressure resistance
• Ability to use for internal and external work
• Does not change its qualitative characteristics after frozen even at a negative temperature.

The list of shortcomings also requires attention:

• Low-drying solutions apply only in free pipeline systems
• To apply some species, preliminary heat treatment is required
• Give shrinkage, which is necessarily taken into account in the process of formation of the layer
• Silicone neutral type sealant can not be used for metal systems
• The need for a special tool - a pistol, for applying.
  

  Important! Acid composition Sealant Select strictly under a specific type of pipe material.

Recommended stamps:

• Ceresit.
• Pneoming
• Bau Master.
• Tytan
• Macrosil
• Moment
• Sika.
• Krass.

What material to apply for registration of pipe input?

To seal pipe input, given the features of this process, there is a separate category of materials. Their list is also quite diverse:

1. Heat-resistant tape. Used for registration of inputs in concrete bases. This material is distinguished by the possibility of wide stretching when heated. Due to this property, the desired form is created, tightly adjacent to the connection of the pipeline. One side of the received profile is glued to the concrete wall, the second is directly to the pipe. The manufacturer, the heat-resistant tape of which is most in demand, - Combiflex.
2. Portland cement. It is used primarily for registration of sewage systems from iron and asbestos-cement pipes or as one of the components of the sealing mixture.
3. Jute and hemp ropes. With the help of these materials, crops are created for pipelines from asbestoscent and cast iron. Before use, it is certainly soaked in the resin.
4. Epoxy resin. A fairly effective method of sealing with minor repair work to eliminate flows at home.
5. Asphalt bituminous mastic. This material of the lubricant category is used which is recommended for sewer and ceramic pipes.
6. Elastic sealing membrane. Its appointment is the sealing of the holes between the electrical cables, cast-iron and steel pipelines and parts of the building structure (basements, exterior walls, angles), the design of their input places. The principle of the device - a bitume-based cuff with a laying of several languages \u200b\u200band a safety nut - provides reliable fixation. The entire membrane is worn onto the socket or a smooth end of the pipe, screw the nut and weld the cuff method to the base of the wall.
7. Technical sulfur. This long-time method is practically not used today due to harmful discharge during installation. The method of application - powder from sulfur was falling asleep into the slurry and heated to the melting point.

Conclusion

Regardless of the selected material, the quality of sealing is affected by the correct installation of the selected material. When making a joint, be sure to consider the basic recommendations common to all sealants:

1. Previously read the instructions of the selected material.
2. Formulate the layer of the necessary thickness, when it decreases, the risk of not enough durable fixation appears, with an increase - a slowdown in the rejection of liquid compositions and a disruption of the integrity of the connection and the threadthrin of the thread.
3. Apply exclusively on the clean and dry surface.
