The connection methods of UPVC pipe fittings mainly include socket connection, hot melt connection and electric melt connection. The following is a brief analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of these connections:

Socket connection:

Advantages: Easy connection, no special equipment required, low installation cost. It is suitable for the connection of large diameter pipelines, and the connection has better sealing and drawing resistance.

Disadvantages: It is necessary to apply sealant or use sealing rings when connecting, which requires higher construction quality. If the seal is not tight or improperly installed, water leakage is easy to occur.

Hot melt connection:

Advantages: high connection strength, good sealing, not easy to leak. The joint has strong tensile force and can withstand a certain external force. After the hot melt connection, the pipe and pipe fittings are integrated, and the service life is long.

Disadvantages: Special hot melt equipment is required, and the installation cost is high. Hot melt connection has high technical requirements for operators. Need to master the heating temperature, heating time and connection pressure and other parameters.

Fusion connection:

Advantages: The connection process is automated and no additional fillers or sealants are required. High connection strength, good sealing, suitable for pipe connection of various calibers and wall thickness.

Disadvantages: Special melting equipment is required, and the installation cost is high. The fusion connection requires high stability of the power supply. Ensure stable and reliable power supply during construction.

In general, each type of connection has its advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to select the appropriate connection mode according to the specific project situation and requirements. When selecting the connection method, factors such as pipe material, caliber, working pressure and construction conditions need to be considered. Comply with relevant construction codes and standards to ensure connection quality and safety.
