These pipe connectors are not your average Joe – they boast cool features that make them the superheroes of pipeline systems. Buckle up as we explore these features and learn the ropes for a smooth installation journey.
1. Lock and Seal with a 24° Taper
Imagine tightening a nut and, voila, your bite-type fitting snugly fits into a 24° taper, creating a robust seal. It’s like a superhero cape for your pipes. And guess what? You don’t need a degree in rocket science – just a wrench and you’re good to go!
2. Flexibility with Elastic Bite Sealing Ring Tech
Picture this: a sealing ring that flexes and bends like your favorite yoga instructor. That’s what the elastic bite sealing ring does, boosting the bite-type fitting’s anti-seepage powers (see Figure 5 for a sneak peek).
3. No Oxide Skin Pollution Here!
Welded fittings might leave your pipeline in a mess, but not our bite joints. They’re clean, tidy, and won’t pollute your pipes with oxide skin during installation. Perfect for both high and low-pressure setups!

II) DIY Bite Fittings: Your Installation Cheat Sheet
Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and get hands-on with the bite-type fittings installation. No pressure, just follow our easy-peasy guide.
1. Tube Prep Time
1.1 Chop It Right: Vertical Sawing Magic
Grab a tube, saw it vertically (±3° error is cool), and keep that face and axis in check. Think of it as giving your tube a stylish haircut – precision matters!
1.2 Smooth Moves: Deburring and Chamfering
Smooth is the name of the game. Lightly deburr the pipe surfaces, throw in a 0.2 × 45° chamfer, and your tube is ready to party.
1.3 Bend It Like Beckham (or Better)
Planning some bends? Make sure the straight pipe’s end-to-bend length is twice the nut’s height. Need bending gear? We’re just a question away.
2. Bite Pre-Game
2.1 Grease Up, Buttercup!
A bit of grease magic on the nut threads, fitting body, and bites. Stainless steel fittings? Cue the special grease, ASW 040 P2. Now, push, twist, and make sure your bite is looking at the right direction (Figure 1 is your GPS).
2.2 Connect the Dots (or Pipes)
Press that steel pipe into the pre-installed connector, hand-tighten the nut, and give it a final twist with a wrench. Feel the force, and for larger pipes, grab a longer wrench (Figures 2 and 3 – your visual aids).
3. Pipe Party: Final Installation Act
3.1 Seal the Deal with Bite Seal
If a seal is the VIP of your installation, slide it onto the bite (Figure 5 has the deets). Insert the pre-installed tube into the fitting body, wrench-tighten the nut until it says “No more!” and give it an extra half twist (Figures 6 and 7 – your final moves).
Note: No spinning the pipe during nut tightening, and the bite seal? One-time deal, folks. It’s for the grand finale and leak-proof magic.
Wrapping Up the Bite Fiesta
In a nutshell, bite-type fittings are your pipeline’s best friend – clean, efficient, and stylish. Understanding their superhero features and acing the installation game ensures a happy and leak-free pipeline journey.
