A pipe is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, used mainly to convey
substances which can flow — liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders
and masses of small solids.
Pipes are used for various purposes such as :
• In plumbing
• Pipelines - transporting gas or liquid over long distances
• Also sometimes as a structural member
• Casing for concrete pilings used in construction project
• The petroleum industry for Oil well casing and Oil refinery equipment
Materials often forms the basis for choosing any pipe . The following are the
types :
Cast iron pipe is a pipe which has
had historic use as a pressure pipe
for transmission of water, gas and
sewage, and as a water drainage
pipe
Ductile iron pipe is a pipe made of
ductile iron commonly used
for potable water transmission and
distribution.
Asbestos cement pipes: these
pipes are not so much in use
today
PVC pipes: This type of pipe has a wide
variety of plumbing uses from drainage
pipe to water mains. It is most commonly
used for irrigation piping, home, and
building supply piping.
 Copper Pipes: This type of pipe is
mostly used for hot and cold water
distribution as well as being regularly
used in HVAC systems for refrigerant
lines.
 Galvanized pipe: is a zinc coated
steel or iron pipe. This galvanized
coating keeps the water from eating
up the pipe. Galvanized pipe is
considered a safe transport for
drinking water and is seen in larger
commercial applications for water
distribution.
 The metal pipes may get corroded by acidic water. Therefore,
protective lining on the pipes needs to be provided against
corrosion.
 Soil should be tested before laying pipes in ground .
 Pipes can be wrapped in plastic during installation to protect
metal from soil .
 Organic chemicals , especially solvents and gasoline , weakens
PVC pipes , cause pipe to expand and rupture.
 The operator in charge should be alert for any unusual odour as it
maybe a sign of chemical spill that may damage the pipes .
In any plant various fluids flow through
pipes from one end to other.
We have to transfer the content of Tank no.
1 to the other two tanks.
We will need to connect pipes to transfer the
fluids from Tank-1 to Tank-2 and Tank-3
We have just brought the pipes, now
we need to solve some more
problems.
Pipes are all straight pieces.
We need some
branch
connections
We need some
bend connections
To solve these
problems we need
the pipe
components, which
are called
PIPE FITTINGS
,
There are various types of fittings for
various purposes, some common types are -
Elbows/Bends, Tees/Branches,
Reducers/Expanders, Couplings, Olets, etc.
Anyway, the pipes and
fittings are in place, but
the ends are yet to be
joined with the Tank
nozzles.
We now have to complete the
end connections.
These, in piping term, we call
TERMINAL
CONNECTIONS.
These are flanged
joints
This is a welded joint
But if we want to control the flow from Tank-1 to
other tanks.
We need some arrangement to stop the
flow if needed
To control the flow in a pipe line
we need to fit a special
component.
That is called - VALVE
Trench ,
foundation and
filing
Joining method
Installation
Cutting of pipe at
installation pipe
 a trench is dug wide enough to accommodate enough working space
on both side of the pipe.
 Levelling- at the bottom for which max grain size of aggregates
should be 60mm.
 if subsoil is soft, pipeline is founded on grid or piles.
 Filling: initial fill must meet the same requirements as the levelling
course.
 main principle while filling: pipes, especially joints must have
sufficient lateral support against overhead loads.
 mechanical compaction has to be done only after 50 cm of fill.
A fitting is used in pipe plumbing systems to connect
straight pipe or tubing sections , to adapt to different
sizes or shapes and for other purposes, such as
regulating the flow of fluids.
COMMON TYPES OF FITTINGS
1.Elbow
An elbow is a pipe fitting installed
between two lengths of pipe or tubing
to allow a change of direction, usually a
90° or 45° angle.
2. Coupling
 Pipe coupling: A coupling connects
two pipes to each other. There is no
change in the direction of the two
pipes. If the size of the pipe is not the
same, the fitting may be called a
reducing coupling or reducer, or an
adapter.
3. Union
 A combination pipe union and reducer
fitting .
 A union is similar to a coupling,
except it is designed to allow quick
and convenient disconnection of pipes
for maintenance or fixture
replacement.
4. Threaded pipe
 A threaded pipe is a pipe with a screw
thread at one or both ends for
assembly. Steel pipe is often joined
using threaded connections
5. Cap
 A type of pipe fitting, usually liquid or
gas tight, which covers the end of a
pipe. A cap is used like plug.
6. Compression Connections
 Compression fittings consist of a
tapered concave conical seat, a hollow
barrel-shaped compression ring, and a
compression nut which is threaded onto
the body of the fitting and tightened to
make a leak-proof connection.

Cap
Compression Connections
7. Flange fittings
 Flanges are generally used when
there is a connection to valves
 Flange fittings generally involve
pressing two surfaces to be
joined tightly together, by means
of threaded bolts, wedges,
clamps, or other means of
applying high compressive
forces.[
8. Soldering
 A chemical flux is applied to the inner sleeve,
and the pipe is inserted.
 The joint is then heated using a propane
torch.
 The solder is applied to the heated joint
9. Welding
The material of the pipe or tubing is itself partially melted in a carefully
controlled manner, and the fitting and piping are directly fused together.
Generally butt joins are used for welding in pipes.
2) Inspection of pipe ends
The plastic protections at pipe ends are removed just before
installation. In connection with their removal, pipe ends and
sleeves are inspected visually.
 determine the cutting point of the
pipe
 mark it all the way round
 make a perpendicular cut through
to the steel with a carpet knife.
 the pipe is cut with a cutting wheel.
 PVC pipe cutting by a PVC cutting
disc.
4) Cutting of pipes at the
Installation Site
 A plumbing fixture is an exchangeable device which can be connected to a
plumbing system to deliver and drain water.
 The most common plumbing fixtures are:
 Bathtubs
 Bidets
 Channel drains (also called trench drains)
 Drinking fountains
 Hose bib (connections for water hoses)
 Kitchen sinks
 Lavatories (also called bathroom sinks)
 Showers
 Tapware
 Terminal valves for dishwashers, ice makers, humidifiers, etc.
 Urinals
 Utility sinks
 Water closets
 A bathtub is a large container for holding water in which a person may bathe.
 Most modern bathtubs are made of acrylic or fiberglass, but alternatives are
available in enamel on steel or cast iron.
 Modern bathtubs have overflow and waste drains and may have taps mounted
on them.
 Two main styles of bathtub:
 Western style: shallow and long.
 Eastern style: short and deep.
Bathtubs
 A drinking fountain is a fountain designed to provide drinking water.
 It consists of a basin with either continuously running water or a tap.
 Modern indoor drinking fountains may incorporate filters to remove
impurities from the water and chillers to reduce its temperature.
 Water fountains are usually found in public places, like schools, rest areas,
libraries, and grocery stores.
 A sink is a bowl-shaped plumbing fixture used for washing hands, for
dishwashing or other purposes.
 Sinks generally have taps (faucets) that supply hot and cold water and may include a
spray feature to be used for faster rinsing.
 They also include a drain to remove used water.
Sinks are made of many different materials. These include:
 Ceramic
 Concrete
 Copper
 Enamel over steel or cast iron
 Glass
 Granite
 Marble
 Nickel
 Plastic
 Stainless steel
 Stone
 Terrazzo
 Wood
 A tap is a valve controlling the release of
a liquid/ water.
Tap mechanism
5. Showers
minimum requirements for stall shower: 34-in square
standard height of shower head:
•66-in for men
•60-in for women
install at 74-inches & adjust for height
handheld shower offers
additional flexibility
•deck mounted—used only for tubs
wall mounted—used for showers; tub/shower combo
•both available in single or dual control—single
control regulate temperature more easily
 An appliance used to get hot water by
the mean of electricity or by gas and
used directly.
 A family of four, each showering for 5
minutes a day, uses 700 gallons of
water a week; this is enough for a 3-
year supply of drinking water for one
person.
 When you turn on
a hot water faucet
or use hot water
in a dishwasher or
clothes washer,
water pipes draw
hot water from the
tank.
 A solar water heater has an
insulated water storage tank
mounted above flat plate solar
collectors
 The collectors transfer heat
from the sun to an antifreeze
collector fluid.
 Whenever hot water is used,
solar heated water is drawn
from the storage tank into the
electric water heater
