When laying modern water supply systems, installation of pipes from metalplastic is carried out. Before the appearance of metal plastic installation water pipes He was a large-scale event to which many specialists were attracted. Currently installation metal pipes Technologically simple, and therefore, it is possible to implement with your own hands, for example, installation of the heating system. Master technological schemes Installation of metal-plastic pipes will allow the relevant instructions, as well as the photos and video presented in the article.
Pipes are made of metal-plastic five-layer pipes. Outside the pipe - stitched polyethylene. Inside is food plastic. The central part is a layer of aluminum. Aluminum and polyethylene layers are connected by glue, the quality of which is the main factor so that metal-plastic does not resolve with thermal expansion.
You can get acquainted with the design of metalplastic, having studied the best photos and videos that will allow you to make sure of the huge advantages of the pipes of metal-plastic.
The main characteristics of metal-plastic pipes are presented:
Metal-plastic pipes are manufactured in the outer diameter of 16-53mm. The most popular diameter of the metal-plastic pipe is 16mm, since such metal-plastic pipes are characterized by cheap installation (and fittings are inexpensive for them). The wall thickness of the pipe from metal plastic can be 2 and 3.5mm. The size of the bending radius of the pipe, considered to be permissible, depends on the pipeline technology (80-550mm, if there is a manual bending of the pipe, and 50-180mm, if the pipe bender). To more accurately learn about the size of the pipes of metal-plastic, the process of their installation, types of fittings, we advise you to see the best photos.
You can connect metal-plastic by installing fittings, the range of which is presented:
To study the fitting device, the features of the compound fittings, the process of installing fitting on the pipe can be seen by the best photos and videos that will give a complete picture of the installation technology of fittings. Application for connecting pipes of fittings carries a lot of advantages, but to familiarize themselves with the advantages of fittings (and also, as with their own hands, perform installation of fittings without special skills), help the best photos offering instructions on the installation of metal-plastic pipes.
The choice of compression fittings, considered more expensive for installation, is caused by the possibility of folding pipes. Today there are fittings for pipe fittings (the device of such fittings can be seen in the photo) different species.
Use compression fittings connecting pipes Metal-plastic (composite elements of compression fittings for pipes for pipes), it is better for the installation of water pipes with cold water. Installation of compression fittings, designed to connect pipes from metal plastic, unaccomplished with a set of tools. Your hands and keys - this is what is required to make it easy to install on the pipe compression fitting.
When a water supply line is laid, a warm floor or heating, the installation of the system requires the use of the press of fittings (study how this is done at the best photo). To assemble the fitting press fixed on a pipe from metal plastic, you will need a certain set of tools (presented in the photo). Compound fittings (except for press fittings) are detachable, and therefore it is undesirable to install joints in the wall so that the leaks in the metalplastic pipe do not occur in the future (learn the rules and photos where it is shown how to combine pipes using a compression and press fitting).
The advantages of metal-plastic pipes are considered:
Assess the advantages of such pipes allow the best photos that clearly demonstrate, for mounting which systems they can be used (water supply, warm floors, heating).
The metal-plastic pipe has shortcomings:
Comply with the technological aspects of the installation of metal-plastic pipes, creating heating and plumbing (see photo, how to make a gasket with your own hands), allows you to follow the installation rules:
Following the installation rules, it is fairly easy and quickly and quickly carry out the installation of a water supply, laying metal-plastic pipes and using the appropriate tools. It is better to get acquainted with the photo. When installing the water supply created by the installation of metal-plastic pipes with their own hands, it is required to comply with the installation rules that determine the features of the installation technology. The technology of laying water supply, according to the installation rules, includes such a sequence of actions:
Compliance with the main rules and technologies when installing the water supply operated by your own hands (the process using fittings can be examined by photos from our site), allows you to create a reliable water supply system. At the same time, the quality of the installation of fittings (presses or compression), the less often it is necessary to serve the plumbing. And find out what installation of fittings of any kind (presses and compression), better than any instruction will allow photos.
Rules for the installation of heating, determined by the relevant method of installation of heating, are:
Hidden installation of heating requires press fittings. The threaded fittings use when outdoor installation Heating. Better and more about what features of the installation of heating performed from metal-plastic pipes, and what fittings are suitable for this will be allowed to find out the photo.
Making a compression fitting (examine the relevant photos), a person uses tools:
The installation of a compression fitting is performed (you can explore the process, looking in the photo) in such a sequence:
When laying metal-plastic pipes intended for warm floors, water supply, heating, performed using their hands Installation of the press of fittings, will require use the same tools as the installation of copressing fittings (the difference is that in the first case, press clamps are needed instead of keys) . Installation of the press fitting is somewhat different from the installation when compression fittings are in the case. Installation of metal-plastic pipes, designed, for example, for heating, is made in stages:
In the heating systems, the press fittings are used in the installation process. To implement the correct installation of heating, you need to adhere to the instruction, which consisted quality mounting Metal-plastic pipes (presented in the photo).
Creating heating or a warm floor - if their installation does not cost without compression (threaded) fittings, the main rules described earlier should be followed. Installation actions when metal-plastic pipes serve as the main materials when creating heating or warm floors, identical to those described above (in chapter on the installation of compression fittings). We offer to better see the process with your own eyes, reviewing the video and having studied the corresponding photos.
Press fittings, being reliable connectors when installing heating and a warm floor, allow you to reduce the costs of laying the heating and warm floor pipelines. The installation of the press fittings is necessary according to the installation rules, using the tool called the press clamp.
To learn in detail how to carry out the installation of heating and a warm floor, using press fittings, will allow photos and videos from which you can learn about the main rules and installation requirements. Actions for mounting metal-plastic pipes related to heating or warm floor (If the pipes are connected by the press fittings), subject to the main rules of the installation were described above (in the section on the installation of press fittings).
When laying metal-plastic pipes, intended for warm floors, water pipes, heating, there are basic installation rules. Experts advise:
The introduction of pipes of different diameters and destination made it possible to expand the installation capabilities of the water supply, sewage and heating. Metal-plastic pipes are in high demand, and the reason for this is the operational capabilities, the price and specifications. But so that the wire of communication systems is reliable, it is worth paying attention to the installation option.
Today, without sewage, heating or water can not do any branch of human life. To ensure uninterrupted supply, products of different diameters and purpose of polypropylene, metal or metalplastic are used.
The last option is preferable to several aspects: low price, service life of 30-60 years and several fastening methods. In many respects, the duration of the operational period depends on the liability of the locksmith, which mounted the coolant or water supply system.
Pipes made of metal plastic consist of several spherical layers (as a rule, out of five). Each such layer performs its tasks: clutch, fixation, strength or insulation. Features Specifically, metal plasticism is the possibility of applying a product for hot water. The aluminum layer, connected by reliable glue, gives rigidity, and polyethylene neutralizes the ability of metal to corrosion.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
There are 3 regulated GOSTS, according to which the product of the application is determined, their technical qualifications: 18599-2001 - pressure, GOST R 53630- 2009 - Pressure multi-layered for heating and hot water; P 52134-2003 - pressure of thermoplastic layers, high-strength.
Plastic and metal, combining positive qualities, allowed to use products in different directions:
Preparation Before assembly work is a compilation of a plan and development of a scheme, in which it is important to specify the placement and connection of points to the plumbing devices - a washing machine, boiler or counters.
Before starting work, the tools are collected, the preparation of products is carried out:
Mounting begins with the installation of ball valve cranes. To do this, ball valves are selected, working at a pressure of up to 60 atmospheres and at 150 degrees.
The set of fastening method depends required tools. Often for work with your own hands (for example, the fastening of heating pipes from the boiler) only the cutter, crimping pliers and calibrator, will be required.
The feature of the application of the compression compound fittings is simple installation without the use of tools that are rented.
Fitting is a detail of a different shape, size connecting pipes of different and / or single diameter. The components are the fitting, carved ring and nut. Compression fitting guarantees connection strength using a wrench.
Connection process by compression fittings:
Additionally carry insulation so that the condensate does not settle down. For this, wearing polyethylene corrugated hoses, cut along and strengthen them.
The marking is different in the external diameter and by the type of fitting thread: Nipple with a thread 16 × ½ (internal) is the definition of an attachment of a metal-plastic pipe with a diameter of 16 mm, and on the other hand, pipe fittings with a thread ½ inches are mounted.
For the connection, press fittings will require experience in firing. Choosing press fittings, take into account:
The advantages of the method:
Method disadvantages:
Connection of metal-plastic pipes with their own hands in stages:
Push Fit is plastic elements made from polyphenylsulfone - "PPSU". It has high strength, frost resistance and long service life. Some firms use distinctive production materials. For example, Henco Vision from Henco from the company from Belgium is based on a polyvinylidenefluoride or PVDF.
Push fittings are used for:
Push Fit installation with your own hands:
The vulnerable place of metal-plastic products is low resistance to mechanical damage due to the fact that the aluminum layer is thin.
With a large radius of bend or constant pressures, the pipe is deformed. In this case, it is recommended to fix the pipeline on the solid base - wall, ceiling or under the plinth. To do this, fastening the wall of the fixing element:
The fastening process and fixation occurs simply by the method:
When attaching, be sure to use soft gaskets between the fastening element and the pipe.
The bends and turns during the installation of the water pipeline or gas are practically in any room. However, you need to know how to correctly generate a metal-plastic product.
With a valid bend, the inner part of aluminum is deformed, which leads to an unsuitability of the entire system.
Several fold methods:
In situations where for some reason, the pipe bending occurred where it is not necessary, many owners are interested in how to lift the pipes. To do this, it is worth considering features:
If it is necessary to align the pipe from metal plastic, it is better to use the use of fittings. The alignment of the shader handle does not apply on a problem area, because a crack will appear in the bend, the pipe will flow.
When using old fittings, the seals are replaced.
In situations where it is necessary to lengthen the pipeline, adapters or so-called fittings are applied.
The use of such devices allows you to lengthen the total length of the pipeline to the required distance. Depending on the needs and tasks, such types of fittings are used:
Methods for connecting pipes with increasing similar to the specified options. Apply both fittings and compression connecting elements.
Non-standard types of compound include variants of lengthening of pipelines made of metal-plastic pipes using the RUSH FIT system. The scheme also differs if the extension or extension in the wall is required.
For example, the plumber incorrectly calculated the distance of the pipe in the wall to the watering can be in a shower, and it is located below from the required level by 20-40 cm. Since the wall is already closed, and I don't want to repair again, you need to look for options, how to lengthen the pipe without drilling the wall .
In this case, the connection is applied by pressing. In-block connection in this case is the best option, since when the temperatures drops, the clamps will diverge, and over time, to deform, and the pipe is planted. If we take into account the fact that the wall find a leak is much more complicated, then crimping when laying pipes under the tie - mandatory procedure.
The layout scheme is conditionally divided into two options - tee or consistent and collector.
The scheme consists of a central pipe, connecting consumers of cold water water. In parallel, hot water flow is mounted in the same method.
The main pipe has the largest diameter, because it performs the function of the collector. The connection is made by tees therefore the name is tee.
The principle is simple, ensures the organization of water supply in apartments. The advantage is a slight amount of pipes used. Disadvantages - the system is suitable for small apartmentsSince the longer the system, the smaller the water pressure will be at the end or at the top of the pipeline. Problems with a tee system occur in the case when the crane or a tank breaks, because at the time of replacing plumbing overlap the water completely across the apartment.
Connection locations in the tee system are hidden under decorative trim without access to the system. If the leakage occurs, it will be difficult to determine its place. Often, the repairs dismant over the rearmen, break the panels.
This scheme is the best option for large modern apartments with lots of plumbing. The feature of the option is the presence of a collector, in which water from the central riser is fed to the collector, and then to the consumer. Consumer connection is carried out separately.
Benefits:
Disadvantages:
Between the collector and the central riser put water pipes with a locking crane. This is necessary for overlapping water supply if necessary. Depending on the tasks, a coarse cleaning filters are installed on the segment of the water supply system, an emergency protection unit. On large spaces, a combination of collector and teete-laying is used.
After installing the collector, pipes are supplied to the plumbing device individually: to hot or cold water. Additionally put filters, gearboxes, and a shut-off valve for overlapping the water of a separate object between the collector and the plumbing point.
Repair or partial replacement of metal-plastic pipes with their own hands is a simple task when complying with the requirements of installation and fastening of such a material. The arranged pipeline is easy to dismantle, do not need to be painted. Pipes are light and plastic, do not be corrosion, durable. It is only worth deciding on a safe installation option.
Widespread use to date when installing heating, water supply and sewage systems, we found metal-plastic pipes. It is already clear from the name that these pipes are made of composite material.
They consist of a metal layer enclosed in a plastic shell. Between the shell and metal surface there is also a layer of special glue. This design is able to withstand significant pressure and temperatures up to 95 degrees. Wherein. Absolutely safe for health is not subject to corrosion and has a rather aesthetic appearance.
The advantage of this material is primarily in its low cost, ease of installation, and hygienic purity.
If, for mounting the water supply, the choice fell on metal-plastic pipes, then it is necessary to determine the amount of material that will be required for work.
This type of material is supplied in bays from 50 to 200 m long, but in the store you can purchase any number of metal-plastic pipe meters. The countdown of the length of the domestic water supply takes away from the riser.
Installation is made along the walls, slightly above the floor level, so it is necessary to measure the distance along the length of the wall from the riser to the intended place of installing the most distant in your crane room.
Then to the resulting value, add height from the floor to the mounting hole of the cranes, toilet bowls and washing machines. As a result, the total length will turn out.
Immediately it is worth noting that any pipe connection significantly increases costs.And also is a place critical for the reliability of the system, so it is very important to correctly calculate the length of the entire system at the preparatory stage.
After the measurements are produced, the resulting value in meters is rounded to an integer in a majority. Then you should decide on the diameter.
Metal-plastic pipes have an outer diameter in the range from 16 to 63 mm. When installing the water supply inside the residential premises, the most optimal option is 20 mm. The pipe 16 mm is more suitable for mounting the "Warm floor" system, as well as when weaning from the main line to the cranes and mixers.
If it is necessary to make a water pipe supply to a private house from a plumbing network, then the maximum diameter of this material is selected.
Varieties of fittings When installing water pipes from metal plastic pipes, do not do without additional materials and tools.
Tools that may be needed when working:
From materials, first of all, fittings and clips should be purchased for fixing the pipe to the floor or wall.
Fitting - This connecting part of the pipeline used during the installation of the water supply system is used for branching, transition to another diameter, and also serves to connect heterogeneous pipes. The appointment of fitting depends on its execution. If it is necessary to connect a metal-plastic pipe with a crane or metal pipe, the fitting of the CANGA-thread system is selected. If among themselves, then the Canga-Cangga system is used.
In addition to the collet fittings, there are structures with crimping mechanismwhich fixes the metal-plastic pipe by the circular crimping pipe with special ticks or press. This option is more reliable, installation takes less time, but the cost of work increases significantly, first of all, due to the need to acquire a special tool.
device The connection process takes very little time and consists of the following steps:
On the other hand, the fitting is connected to a threaded compound with a crane or metal pipe, or if it is a Canga-Tsang system, then with a metal-plastic pipe. The fitting may also have a tee shape for branching in the system. If the tee is used to branch from the main line to the crane, the tee can be applied: 20 * 16 * 20.
It will takes the presence of ticks or a special electrical press. Pliers are mechanical, which produce crimping using the muscular power of a person, and may also have a hydraulic mechanism.
Installation occurs in such a sequence:
If the connection process was performed correctly, the extruded rings across the entire circumference should be visible on the crimping sleeve.
As a result, it turns out very reliable connectionthat does not require maintenance during operation. When installing a warm floor, only press fittings are mandatory. The use of such a connection technology allows you to significantly save time on the installation, it may be noticeably noticeable when conducting a large amount of work.
clips After the plumbing is assembled, you will need to install it on special clipsthat must necessarily correspond to the diameter of the pipe of the appropriate size. First of all, clips with screws are mounted on the wall.
Then the pipe is taken and the effort is inserted into these mounts. This is the only one possible variant Fastening.
The use of rigid fixation clamps is strictly prohibited for fixing, pipes should be able to slightly change their geometry when the fluid temperature changes, which circulates inside. Only clips coped with this feature.
The water supply can not be mounted only in a straight line. Turns are inevitable when the water supply system is erected.
Acquire a tool called Tubebib, if you need only several times to make a change in the direction of the water pipeline, optionally. When using a pipe with a diameter of 16 mm, this is done manually. It is only required to comply with some rules that are valid for all diameters.
Bending radius should not be less than 5 diameters of the pipeFor example, for a pipe 20 mm, the minimum rotation radius is 100 grams.
If the diameter is greater than 16 mm, then in order to correctly flash, you need to use a special steel spring, which can be purchased almost in any building material store.
Bending is made in this way. The spring is introduced into the cavity of the pipe and moves to the bending place. If you have to bend at a considerable distance from the edge, then the spring should be tied to the rope. This is required so that after completing the bending procedure, it was possible to pull the spring from the pipe.
It is also possible to move to a significant distance of the spring using a powerful neodymium magnet that comes in touching with the pipe should be done along the bending place. When the middle of the spring is combined with the middle of the alleged bend, the pipe should be generated manually. Then the spring is pulled out with a rope.
If a large-diameter metal-plate tube is required, then the method specified above must be added another 1 spring that dresses on the outside, and also leads to the middle of the bend.
Metalplastic pipe can be bent with sand or salt. To do this, in the cavity of the pipeline, dry calcined sand or salt is falling asleep, then both ends of the pipe are reliably closed with plugs, and bending is made in the right place. After completing the work, the sand is removed.
Metal-plastic (metal-polymer) pipes are composite pipes made from a polymer pipe reinforced with metal.
They are durable, durable, easy to install, resistant to aggressive media and are very often used in constructing water pipelines, warm floors, compressed air transport systems and various liquids (including chemically aggressive), for laying electrical wires and cables.
This design ensures the unique properties of metal-plastic pipes:
These features of the design determine the ease and ease of installation of metal-plastic pipes, their reliability, durability and extensive conditions of application.
The main technical characteristics include:

Fittings for pipe data are two types:
Advantages of using fittings
Compression fittings with carvings for metal-plastic pipes are the most expensive. They make it possible to perform collapsible compounds.
A large range of collapsible compression fittings of various types is produced.
Varieties of threaded compression fittings:
Compression fitting for metal-plastic pipes consists of:
Photo: Compression type connection Press fittings When installing are widely used when working on a device of hot and cold water systems, when installing heating systems, warm floors.
Photo: Fitting Press Scheme This is due to the fact that the press fittings have the following advantages over compression:
Restricts their application only the need to use in the installation of special presses (manual or automatic), which are not suiced.
A wide range of fittings is available under the press, allowing you to collect the pipeline of any necessary configuration:

The scope of application is very extensive:
Metal-plastic pipes are a great option for the device of the system of hot and cold or in the apartment.
When choosing pipes for the installation of water supply systems, it is necessary to take into account the operating pressure of the system and the temperature (when installing hot water systems).
The installation of water pipes from metal plastic pipes is carried out in the following order:
Photo: Installation of water pipes from metalplastic pipes Fittings are the weak link in the plumbing system, so do not save on fittings and buy the cheapest models.
Photo: Bending of metalplastic pipes Important! In the process of bending, it is necessary to observe the maximum allowable bending radii of metal-plastic pipes, the excess of which is fraught with a violation of the integrity of the pipe.
Metal-plastic pipes are increasingly used when mounting various systems Heating.
Installation of hidden heating systems lead using exclusively press fittings.
When installing open heating systems, it is permissible to use threaded connectors.
Photo: Installation of metalplastic pipes for heating When installing the heating systems, it is necessary to take into account the following recommendations:
Metal plastic pipes today are the most affordable and economical optional installation of warm floor systems. They are easily bent, perfectly hold the form, easy to install and operate and serve for a long time.
Photo: Warm floor scheme Installation of a warm flooring system is carried out using the press of fittings, therefore, to fulfill the crimping system, it is necessary to find the press of pliers, or invite specialists.
When installing the system of warm floors, the pipe is placed by snake, meander or spiral. The total length of one loop should not exceed 100 meters.

Pipe consumption rate with warm floors: 7 robes per square meter room.
Water pipes made of metal-plastic pipes - the most common option of the "wiring" of the water supply in houses and apartments. They firmly reigned in this market segment. And there is good reasons for this.
On this page, we describe all the pros and cons of such a water supply, as well as in detail, we describe how to make metal-plastic pipes, how to connect them with fittings, etc.
There are several objective indicators that allow metal-plastic pipes to shut up for the belt of their competitors when the water supply system in an apartment or house:
Based on the foregoing, the plumbing on metal-plastic pipes is obtained reliable, it costs it inexpensively, and you can collect it with your own hands. Naturally, connecting to the central system, it is the prerogative of professionals.
No matter how regrettable, but each honey barrel, there is a spoon of tar. In the case of metal-plastic water supply, these are fittings.
Fitting, this is a device with which you can:
In our case, we are talking about metal-plastic pipes. If the fitting at both ends has the same diameter, then it is straight; And if different, then transition.
But these are only their varieties for their intended purpose, but according to the method of fixation, all fittings are divided into crimping and presses.
Reliability and quality of compounds depend on the scrupulousness of the execution of instructions. But at the price ... Although the press fittings are cheaper than the crimp, but their total cost for the water supply equipment in the apartment is equal to the costs of metal-plastic pipes.
The most important and primary, this is a plan of water supply layout. If you have never been engaged in this, then you can make it up with a clean leaf without much difficulties, although this is satisfied with the painstaking. But everything starts from the consumer.
Accordingly, if the water goes to the house from central system Water supply, then the input will require only controlling instruments for consumption accounting.
This is a schematic diagram. Give recommendations on the filtration system, not knowing the quality of water, is not permissible. Also belong to the water heating system. Depending on the conditions, the boiler can be electric or gas. The use of a water heater on liquid or hard fuel is not economical and associated with certain difficulties. Especially in the summer.
From the cranes, the bempwint is unwound along the wall. In places of bend or branching, cloves are clogged, and the direction changes. Accordingly, that from tees, two (or three) bemps will already go. By placing the entire system thus, it is necessary to draw its location not the wall. Can be chalk or water-emulsion.
Only after that, the beep must be removed, and to measure its length. Additionally calculate the number of fittings and their types.
Important: The resulting Pipe Metrah, increase by 10%. This is common practice.
Regarding the selection of the diameter of the pipe, there are already a prevailing opinion. Almost for all residential buildings and apartments, with an excessive enough metal-plastic pipes ᴓ16 mm. It provides a flow of up to 3 m 3 / hour. And most water counters are not designed for greater flow. Yes, and why more?
The choice of the manufacturer of metal plastic pipe is perhaps the most difficult task. In the market often come across fakes. Purchase a pipe in a solid store or from proven suppliers. We recommend to refrain from the purchase of metal-plastic pipes of Chinese manufacturers. Negative reviews are found too often. The highest quality metal-plastic pipes are produced in Belgium ( Henco), Germany ( Frankische and Sanha.).
What will be required of the tools:
How to work with a tool
Caliber, restores the shape of the pipe after cutting, and Zenker removes the chamfer and removes burrs. If the caliber is without a zenker, then its work can be performed using shallow sandwich.
The conductor serves to flexing the metal-plastic pipe. It is external and inner. The use of internal in some cases is more convenient, for it does not slide in his hands. But it is not always possible, for the place of bending can be far from the end of the pipe. Therefore, we recommend to stay at the external conductor.
Press pliers will be required if you use maintenance-free fittings. We, on the basis of 16 years of experience, we recommend that the press fittings are recommended. And the reason here is one. Most tenants, in a year they forget about the service crimp Fittings. And this leads to leaks. But the choice is yours.
Consumables will require: self-tapping screws, fastening for metal-plastic pipes, tape FUM.
Starting the installation of metal plastic water supply is necessary from the source to the consumer (to the cranes). Make a cut from the roll to the nearest fitting, and cut it with a knife. Calibrate, remove the burrs and remove the chamfer. Then insert the pipe into the fitting until it stops. The press fittings have special holes, to control the depth. They should be visible the edge of the metal-plastic pipe. Then insert the fitting into the ticks, and crimp the connection.
Crimp fittings are fastened with nuts and rings included in the kit
It is quite simple to work with the press ticks, because insert the fitting "Crooked" will not work.
All press clamps have replaceable sponges for pipes of different diameters. Do not make mistakes in choosing sponges.
The process of installation of crimp fittings is slightly different. The nut first puts on the prepared trim, then the edged ring and after that, the pipe is inserted into the body of the fitting itself. Before spinning the nutWe strongly recommend that turning the fum ribbon. It takes only two or three turns. It is necessary to start from the edge of the thread and carry out the winding, holding the latitude tape. After that, moisten the thread with sunflower oil. This technique will protect against the appearance of leaks!
The nut is first twisted with their hands until it stops. And only then, holding the fitting with one gas key, others tighten the clamping nut. It should not be drawn out of all the might, but the small effort is needed.
Installation with press ticks
Fix the metal plastic pipe to the wall follows each meter. Special attachments through the self-sufficiency are strengthened in the surface, and the pipe is inserted into them.
In those places where it is permissible, the pipe can be bent using a conductor. To do this, the conductor dresses onto the pipe, supply it from the right place, and neatly, holding the product with his hands, on an equidistant from the target distance, bend the pipe in the desired plane. Given that the radius of the bending of the metal-plastic pipe is equal to its 8 diameters, this approach is not expedient everywhere.
By installing metal-plastic pipes, connect them to the crane with the help of hoses that are included. Then go through all the route again, and visually check the integrity of the assembly.
Pay attention to tees and splitters. Sometimes, inserted by one branch, the installer forgets about fixing the pipe in another.
Open the taps at the end of the water pipeline (in the kitchen and in the bathroom). And only after that slowly, in order to avoid a possible hydrate, open the water supply faucet to the system. It is most convenient to perform this stage with a partner. It should control the water outlet in the final point. As soon as the water went, for washing pipes, let it drag it within 2-3 minutes. Then close the outlet cranes, by this you raise the pressure in the system, and go through the pipe of the pipe gasket. Check all connections. If you doubt, do a paper napkin (or toilet paper) on the surface of the fitting connections). Do not confuse condensate with leak!
We guarantee that if you fulfilled work according to our recommendations, then in 99.9% there will be no leaks. If a connection causes you a reasonable fear, then slightly tighten it.
Plumbing from metal-plastic pipes with their own hands video
In life modern man important place It takes the transfer of various substances, in particular, water, by the distance using the supply systems - pipelines, the most important and extended part of which are pipes.
Due to the wide range of products today, each owner of the housing has the ability to independently assemble a water supply system using products from any suitable material. This article will tell about the installation of metal-plastic pipes for water supply with their own hands, characteristics and advantages of such products.
Products of this type consist of three main layers and two sucks, from the inside to outward:
Advantages of products from this material:
Among the shortcomings of metal-plastic pipes, the following can be distinguished;
Wiring of metal-plastic pipes with their own hands as a whole is simple; The process begins with mounting on rising ball valves. At this stage, it is necessary to especially carefully select fittings, giving preference to high-quality products suitable for use at least 60 atm. and temperatures about 150 ° C.
It is clear that, since, for the quality of Chinese products, no one can vouch for and bring it at any time, it is best to avoid acquiring it, stopping on more expensive, but reliable versions.
Especially this is essential, if we consider that it is precisely through the ball cranes in the event of a leakage of the system overlap the flow of water into the apartment.
Selecting good cranes and installing them, you can continue to mount the plumbing from metal-plastic pipes with your own hands.
The following preparatory stages of water supply system arranged:
Despite the fact that the inner surface of stitched polyethylene is sufficiently resistant to the effects of small abrasive particles, the installation into the system with metal-plastic pipe filters is necessary: \u200b\u200ba large amount of sand, metal particles or pieces of scale can damage not only the pipeline, but also output devices.
The collector must be assembled to provide the same intensity to supply moisture from a common riser to all sanitary cells - sinks, washing machine and toilet bowl.
Usually in the collector is provided from two to four outputs. If there are more devices in the house in the house, it is possible to select collectors with an appropriate amount of outlet.
The most important question that should clarify the home master is how to assemble metal-plastic pipes. Usually, special connecting elements are used for this purpose - fittings.
They are two types:
These products are characterized by:
You can avoid the last problem by replacing crimping products with press fittings.
Such products are more reliable and durable (service life is at least 50 years), withstands working pressure up to 10 bar and provides ease of installation of the pipeline.
The only drawback is the need to apply a special press machine, manual or hydraulic with a microprocessor.
For the connection to be durable, you should follow the following rules:
In compliance with these tips, the assembly of the water supply system will be simple and not particularly expensive.
Installation of metal-plastic pipes: water pipes with your own hands, how to fix, gasket, water supply, installation
When performing pipelines of any type of water supply today, the installation of metal-plastic pipes is successfully used.
Metal plastic pipes due to their design have a number of advantageous advantage of them from other types of similar products.
Assembling metal-plastic pipeline
Constructively in metal-plastic pipes there are five layers:
Metal-plastic pipes have certain advantages relatively with similar products:
Montage with your own hands of metal-plastic pipes starts with a device of ball valves on a riser. For installation, it is necessary to choose exclusively high-quality ball valves that are capable of operating at high operating pressure (within 60 atmospheres) and a temperature of 150 degrees.
Chinese fakes should be avoided, because in the water supply system, much depends on the quality of the cranes.
It is the ball crane in a situation with the appearance of leaks, you can overlap the flow of water in the apartment.
Ball cranes for metal-plastic pipeline
Scheme of a metal-plastic pipeline system
Metal plastic pipes are mounted together with filters to secure plumbing devices and the pipes themselves from small particles of sand, metals, Okalin present in risers in significant quantities.
The collector installation is required to ensure uniform water supply to consuming elements - sink, toilet bowl, washing machine, from a water rummer. As a rule, collectors have 2, 3 or 4 outputs. In the event that the number of consuming devices more than four, select such collectors that have the required number of outputs.
If metal-plastic pipes are required - installation and immediately compound is performed using fittings for metal-plastic pipes, which are the following types:
Connection of pipes by compression fittings
Scheme of compression fitting
Completion with compression fittings:
The connection is performed using two wrench: at the time when one is tightened to the nut, the other key is resistance.
But if we put into the floor or close the pipes with a tile, having several fitting connections, then the performance of this operation or dismantling of metal-plastic pipes in the event of such a need to become very difficult.
To avoid periodic feeding of fittings, you will not remain anything, how to mount metalplastic pipes with press fittings.
Compound of pipes from metalplastic with press fittings
Press fittings are durable and durable (the warranty on them is up to 50 years), can withstand pressure up to 10 bar, and produced by their help of metal-plastic pipes is performed quickly and easily.
Metal-plastic pipes with compound press fittings are installed using a special press machine. This tool for mounting metal-plastic pipes is simple manual and microprocessor hydraulic.
Instructions for installing metal-plastic pipes with compound press fittings:
The pipeline from metal plastic is paved in accordance with the following rules:
An open gasket of such pipes is permissible exclusively in such places where there is no impact of these factors.
The gap that is formed at the same time is filled with a soft non-aggravated material capable of ensuring the movement of the pipe in the longitudinal direction.
Example of a household water supply system scheme
Unpacking the bay with a pipe, do not use sharp objects. When the pipe is marked, you must use exclusively a pencil or marker.
Supports and suspensions are offered by pipe manufacturers. Metal fasteners need to be equipped with soft material gaskets.
The pipeline from the metal plastic, made by its own hands, will last longer if the tips, instructions and recommendations will be fully respected.
Installation of metal-plastic pipes with your own hands: how to assemble, which tool is needed
Modern materials for the arrangement of domestic highways made it possible to independently assemble water supply and heating systems. For example, the installation of metal-plastic pipes with their own hands allows you to arrange a tap or sewer wiring. To work with such elements, no complex tools or special skills are required.
Metal-plastic (metal-polymer pipes) - composite products, for the production of which are used different kinds Materials. Such elements have an attractive appearance, good wear resistance, elasticity, strength.
As a rule, the pipe consists of five layers. A durable polymer is used as a carrier base, usually stitched polyethylene. It gives the smoothness of the inner surface, protecting it from blockages, and also contributes to the strength of the product.
An adhesive substance is applied to the core, on which the aluminum foil stabilizing pipe is strengthened (it also prevents oxygen intake). The connection is secured by welding online or brass.
The fourth layer is also applied with glue, to which the outer coating is connected - white polyethylene, providing the product with protection and aesthetic appearance that gives it aesthetic appearance.
We present the data characteristic of metal-plastic pipes of common diameters (16 and 20 mm):
With the right installation and observance of the operational rules, the product from metal-planes can serve as 50 years and more.
The advantages of such products can be attributed:
The main disadvantage of such products lies in the fact that the metal and plastic, of which they consist of pipes, have different expansion indicators. Regular temperature differences of the agent in the pipes can lead to a weakening of fasteners, which is why there are flows in the design.
To avoid this, experts advise, making installation, always provide a certain supply when joint joints. It will also be useful because metal-plastic systems are poorly withstanding the hydrowards.
Pipes made of metal-polymer are widely used in the arrangement of individual houses, in industrial construction and agriculture.
The main areas of their use are:
In addition, metal-polymer pipes are undesirable to use in safety, signal, overflow, expansion schemes and in fireproof water pipes.
Wiring of metal-plastic systems can be carried out by different methods, each of which is chosen on the basis of the feasibility and possibilities of further access to the system.
Option # 1: Hidden
In this case, all pipes and connections are hidden in the depth of the wall under finishing materials. Alternatively, only fittings and taps for connecting plumbing devices are displayed.
When using this method of installation, the interior design is preserved, in addition, the masking of communications protects them from random damage.
This option has several minuses:
This way it is better to take advantage of the repair in the bathroom. It is impractical to arrange a hidden gasket in the already decorated room, since it will take a complete dismantling of the wall covering (facing, plaster).
Option # 2: Open
If the pipes for any reason can not be covered in the wall, they can be paved along its surface. This option is more convenient for visual control over connectivity places, which allows you to quickly clean the site or replace the component.
An open layout can be used in rooms with already repaired, since the installation will not harm the design of the walls. The advantages of this method include its ease and lower cost of work than when laying internal communications.
Option # 3: Combined
In this case, the pipes are carried out on the surface of the indistened walls, after which they are closed by boxes or false panels. This is a rather complicated way, since it requires perfect fit into the interior of decorative elements, which can also use plasterboard, tiles and other materials.
With plumbing works carried out in bathrooms and toilets, three layout of metal-plastic pipes can be used. For private houses, the use of the collector is the most rational.
Effective collector system
A reliable and practical option involving the connection of each object to the central tube through the entrance pair. This allows the crane to adjust or turn off the water supply to each specific plumbing.
All regulatory devices are located in a compact manifold, which is placed in the space specifically allocated to them (cabinet).
Drinking pipes that have a minimum of compounds do not require special control, which allows the gasket to be laid in a hidden way. The disadvantage of this option is quite high cost, because for each connection you will need to purchase a special shut-off crane. Since such a system is quite complicated, it is necessary to produce neatly and carefully.
An important advantage: in case of failure of a separate item (washing machine, mixer), there is no need to completely disconnect the bathroom from the water supply - it is enough to turn off the desired shut-off valve.
Sequential system of connections
This option involves the connection of each SANTEXPEDMET to the main pipe with a separate tee. It is more suitable for bathrooms with a minimum number of objects (washing machine, a common mixer).
The consistent scheme can be implemented already after completion in the room of finishing, using an open laying system. The assembly process is quite simple: the pipe is laid from one item to another, at the same time the underlining element is displayed from the tee.
This option requires minimal financial costs. It should be noted that with a large number of points for the fence of the pressure fluid may not be enough, and the system will function with difficulty or even fail.
Wiring system with passage sockets
Connecting plumbing devices is similar to consistent, but instead of tees, outlets are used. This scheme is usually applied only in individual houses, since it requires a large-length pipe laying, as well as the installation of an additional pump, which will help ensure the necessary water pressure.
When performing connecting works with metal-plastic pipes, several important nuances should be taken into account:
Compliance with the rules will create a reliable system capable of listening for many years.
The work on the installation of sewage metal-plastic pipes has its own features.
In this case, it is important to comply with the following requirements for the unobstructed drainage removal with blockage prevention.
To mount the sewage, it is necessary to use pipes, the diameter of which ensures easy permeability wastewater. For the toilet bowls, it is recommended to use products with a diameter of at least 100 mm, for baths and sinks - enough 50-75 mm.
When laying metal-plastic systems, it is important to be guided by the following provisions:
All stages of operations need to be carried out carefully and neatly, since metal-plastic elements are sensitive to ultraviolet, mechanical damage. The outer installation of such structures is appropriate only in places where there are no similar factors.
For laying metal-polymer systems, minimum devices and materials are required, but it is better to choose high-quality devices and pipes.
Fixtures for mounting pipelines
To create a construction of metal-plastic, a fairly modest set of tools: pipe cut, the simplest pipe bending, sliding and precipitated keys.
Truborez is needed to separate dimensional cuts of the pipe from the bay. Since metalplastic is sufficiently supportive material, it can be cut with a metal knife or even a sharp knife. However, the perfect perpendicularity of lines, without which it is difficult to obtain a hermetic compound, can be obtained only when using a special cutter.
The keys of different species are important for installation and assembly of threaded connections on pipeline fittings. With an extreme need, you can do with one precipitant key, however, it is better to use two precipitated and one-aligned key for comfortable work.
Caliber is an important tool for creating an accurate and sealed connection of the pipe with a fitting: it allows you to center the plane of the slice and remove the champecker from the inside of the product.
The pipe bender allows you to change the configuration of the element, which can be saved on the corner fittings. It is especially important to have this tool if the design involves a large number of angular conjugations.
What materials are required
For laying the pipeline, it is important to stock in the following components:
It is important to pick up everything in advance. necessary materials and tools to then freely exercise all work.
Before starting work, it is important to consider how pipes will be placed. When developing a scheme, it is desirable:
Installation of connecting elements must be performed after the calculations and markup of the structure.
To prepare for work, it is important to cut the pipes to the sections required for the length, while all the cuts should be carried out strictly at right angles. If in the process cutting the pipe is deformed, it must be aligned with a caliber (it will help to remove the internal chamfer).
For the installation of the design, various types of fasteners apply, we will stop separately.
Option # 1: collet
Collet fittings, consisting of a housing, crimp ring, rubber gasket, have a detachable design, so you can apply several times. The carving of parts allows you to combine them with household appliances.
To connect the connecting elements to the pipe, you need to wear a sequential nut and ring. Insert the resulting structure into the fitting, tighten the nut. To make the pipe easier to the connecting element, it is desirable to moisten.
Option # 2: Compression
Widely used parts used for connecting pipes that can be called concentrated. Before installation, it is important to make sure that the sealing rings and the dielectric pads, which must be on the part shank.
To connect to the end of the pipe, a nut and a crimp ring is put on (if it has a cone form, then the process is carried out with a narrower side of the part). After that, the shank is inserted into the pipe (for this you need to make some effort), while in order to seal items, the part is covered with packles, flax, sealant.
The next step on the fitting body is put on and tightened by a cape nut. It is convenient to do this with the help of two keys: one of them is fixed the item, another nuts.
This method is sufficiently easy and does not require the use of special equipment, but it is undesirable to apply for hidden wiring, since it requires a connection check.
Option # 3: Push fittings
Comfortable connecting elements, for fastening which special tools are not needed. For installation, it is enough to insert the product in connective detailsAt the same time, the end of the pipe should be visible in the viewing window.
Immediately at the end of the installation, thanks to the enabled water jet, the fitting wedge pushes forward, forming a clamp that prevents leakage.
This method allows you to quickly and easily create the necessary design, providing high-quality durable connections. Almost the only lack of push fittings is their high cost.
Option # 4: Press fittings
These items are used to create in-view connections using press ticks or similar devices.
To connect, you need to calibrate the item, removing the fez with it, after which the sleeve is put on it and the fitting is inserted. The sleeve is captured by the press clamp, after which the handle information is tightly clamped.
Such an element can be used only once, however mounted with fastenings are quite sealed and reliable, so that they are suitable for hidden wiring.
Installation of pipes from different types of materials
For the connection of the elements, one of which is made of metal, and the second - from the metal plastic, the special fittings are intended, one end of which is equipped with a thread, and the second is a socket.
For mounting metal pipe You need to cut into carvings, wrap the packles, smear soap or silicone, and then throw the fitting with your hand. After the second end is connected to the plastic element, the thread is tightened completely using the key.
Assortment of Fittings of Different Forms
For easy installation, the connecting elements may have a different form. Most often found:
A special configuration (couplings, triangles, tees) may have press fittings.
Technology of installation of metal-plastic pipes with their own hands
