Fastening for quick docking of plumbing hoses. Quick disconnecting water rapids

When laying and using water supply, you can not do without special fasteners. Quick-release compounds for hoses and pipes simplify the process of organizing and operating water supply and distribution systems, watering. Fast-disconnecting products for docking are available in various variations that differ in size, functionality, manufacturing material. Consider their main features.

Quick-consuming compounds (BRS) are called devices used to dock pipes, hoses, sleeves and other diverse parts on production. This type of compound is used in various spheres of modern life and is characterized by high tightness and reliability in high-pressure environments. To work with these products, does not require any special tools, knowledge and skills.

Nowadays, fast disconnect connections are constantly used in many areas of human activity and thanks to the special characteristics and ease of operation, firmly have strengthened there. We list the spheres where BRS is used:

automotive industry;
aircraft;
systems for water supply and water purification;
connecting various pneumatic units;
defense industry
alternative energy;
shipbuilding;
chemical production;
medical equipment;
railway transport;
building;
production of polymers;
mining production.

Helpful information! I would like to note that in mining activities, a special quick-disconnect connection is applied equipped with a hinge clamp. Using this device, steel pipelines with a conditional diameter of from 50 to 400 mm are joined, the working pressure in these highways can reach 32 MPa.

Device and principle of connection

The quick disconnect connection of the BRS consists of two main parts. These parts have a wide variety of names. But speaking by the technical language correct names will be the "coupling" and "nipple", the peoples of these parts "Mom" and "Dad".

The coupling ("mother") in its design includes the following elements:

housing;
a fixing clamp consisting of clamping balls and a lock sleeve;
reverse valve;
the sealing ring required for the sealing of the joint;
connecting adapter (built-in or separate).

The design of the rapid couplings can consist of other elements, but such products can be found much less often than standard.

Nipple consists of the following details:

housing;
check valve;
adapter of attachment (as well as the coupling, it happens both built-in and separate);
sealing element.

The range of fast disconnect connections is quite wide, in which you can find a connector suitable in length, diameter and mass. Products with diameters from 12 to 150 mm are particularly popular. Many manufacturers can make a design with individual parameters, in such products the diameter can reach 540 mm.

Installing quickly disconnect connections forces to each, even without professional equipment and special skills. The quick disconnect device is connected as follows:

On the coupling, you first need to press the lock sleeve. A spin is done towards the adapter. Clamping balls depart, which makes it possible to insert a coupling in nipple without any problems.
After that, the prepared coupling is inserted into the nipple.
After the sleeve squeeze. After that, the coupling is firmly fixed in Nippele, simultaneously checking the check valves.

Need to remember! In order to remove quickly, you need to perform all of the above operations in the reverse order.

There are designs for which you do not need a clamp of the sleeve when installing. In these, the coupling devices are inserted into the nipple without pressing the tube, automatically. Just need to push slightly - and the connection is made.

Features and types of quickly disconnect connector

Most of the quick-release or quick disconnect connections are represented by designs made according to ISO standards. Fast-consuming compounds have very useful quality - interchangeability. This suggests that the details of one design can be made by different manufacturers from various countries of the world.

Materials from which BRS are made are the most diverse:

stainless steel;
alloy steel;
aluminum;
bronze alloy;
titanium and its alloys;
alloys of other metals;
a variety of polymers.

The service life of the BRS is influenced by a number of factors that need to be considered during the choice of the product:

type of working medium (water, oil, acid);
pressure in highways;
maximum and minimum carrier temperature;
environment (humidity, rainfall, low or high air temperature).

To improve the quality of the design, it is usually additionally treated with an anti-corrosion coating. There are the following ways of applying for details:

chrome;
nickelics;
galvanization;
a variety of solid applies.

A wide range of identical fittings allows you to connect not only the same pipes, but also products that are made from different materials.

Types of PRS by pressure:

Fast-based ISO-A hose connections. Perfectly fit into the system of hoses, in which low working pressure. At the same time, it does not create obstacles to circulation inside the system. The valves in it are made in the form of a cone.
Firg. These valves will perfectly fit into the wide spectrum system. In the closed state, this design does not have protruding parts. Valves in the design of the disk form. Thanks to them, the system does not create excess resistance, and also exclude the possibility of entering the air and leakage of the working fluid.
TGW. Such connections are ideally suited to systems whose working pressure ranges from 300 to 1100 bar. Like other quick-release compounds, they allow you to prevent the air and leakage of the working fluid. As component elements, it can go caps for protection of metal and plastic. Such compounds can withstand hydroudars and pulse loads.
NRA. These compounds are used for domestic mobile hydraulic tools. They can withstand pressure up to 700 bar. Also as the BRS of the EPU type, they are resistant to hydrowards and pulse loads.

By quantity and location of the BRS valves are divided into three main groups:

with free passage (not equipped with valves);
with a valve on one side;
with a valve on both sides.

The products with rapid fixation of the sleeves have a convenient snatching mechanism. Installation of similar BRS is simple, and such a connection perfectly fixes the tubes.

Nowadays, these products are characterized by a wide range of range, which makes it possible to choose BRC for a specific situation. Now you can purchase a quick-release connection of several types:

BRS equipped with a fixing wedge;
camlock devices (Camlock);
european-made designs (Bauer and Perrot);
iSO compounds having a conical shape valve in their design.

BRS can docile flexible hoses or plastic and metal pipelines. Quick disconnect fittings for a variety of pipelines are made in various versions: couplings, tees, crossmen and so on. Such a connection is made using a special device for clamping - collet.

Quick disconnect collet connections help produce a quick installation and dismantling of the pipeline. One of the main features of such a compound is that, thanks to it, it is possible to carry out the transition to the thread.

Benefits and disadvantages of BRC

Like all products, quick-disconnecting water connections have their advantages and cons. First consider the advantages of these structures:

the latitude of distribution and choice (quick disconnect connections can be easily purchased in almost any specialized store);
a relatively small price allows you to buy them for domestic use;
allow you to provide high junction tightness indicators;
BRS due to its constructive features easy to install and dismantle;
BRS Reusable products;
Keep your properties over long use.

By minuses include:

when using a combination of Details of the BRC from different manufacturers, a warranty is removed from the design;
20% of similar designs is done without the possibility of interchanges.

Therefore, remember that quick-consuming compounds also require careful check and selection.

Hose quick-consuming water fitting

Hoses are widely used both at various enterprises and in everyday life. They are made from a variety of materials: polyvinyl chloride (PVC), rubber, silicone and others. With the help of hoses, pneumatic tools are joined, in addition, they are used for hydraulic structures. In the household sphere with their help, watering is carried out.

It is worth remembering! Fast compounds for a variety of hoses allow you to speed up and simplify their assembly, sometimes the connection is made on the go (with water on). It is quite convenient and allows you to save a huge amount of time and strength, and will also provide an opportunity to assemble the system for watering during the work, so that it can be corrected if it is necessary.

A quick-release fitting for hoses makes it possible to carry out the installation of the hose, lengthen or docile it with the pump. The diameters of such connecting products vary from 12 to 150 mm.

It must be remembered that the reliability of the product does not depend on its price. Of course, when buying is better oriented on well-known manufacturers. But this does not give 100% guarantees that this design is not a fake or there are no defective parts. Therefore, during the acquisition of a quick disconnect connection, it is necessary to carefully examine it visually, in addition, also carefully re-read certificates offered to it.

The hose connector is a quick-consuming compound needed for the convenience of exploitation of watering equipment when irrigating the area or when it is used in portable car sinks. A feature of modern connectors is that they are withstanding high pressure in the pipe without additional waterproofing. Such elements are easily mounted, they are easy to use.

Varieties of connector for hose

All quick-consuming compounds have a common feature - the presence of a yield under the nipple connecting it with the adapter on the crane, an irrigator or a gun for watering.

The hose connector can be made of plastic or metal alloy. The composition of the material will bounce from working pressure in the pipe. Plastic compounds of the average price segment are withstanding about 10-15 bar. Metal and brass products are designed to work under pressure in the pipe in the pipe above 15-20 bar.

Often, under the word "connector" means a clutch with which two watering hoses are connected to an equal or different diameter. In this case, it should be borne in mind that the coupling is really designed to connect two hoses, however, to then disconnect them, you will need to unscrew the lid and pull out the pipe.

Connecting the nozzle with carvings is designed to use with other elements similar in design. Depending on the ligament parts, the outer or internal thread of a certain diameter may be needed. Such connections are also connected to the nipple and have the ability to quickly pull out.

What makes it?

The classic hose connector consists of the following elements:

Tube holder with housing. The watering hose is inserted directly into it. After tightening the lid, it is tight and hermetically attached inside the connector.
Decorating mechanism. It is he who provides the ability to remove the device with one movement.
Spinning cover. With its help, the hose is fixed in the connector. It has an internal thread, which hits the tube holder. As a result, the design is fixed, compression is ensured.
Stop valve. Installed in connectors with automatic closure. It is a plastic or metal piston with germinicity of rubber bands. The essence of his work is that when the connector is connected to the nipple, the latter presses on the piston. In the connected state, the valve is always open, and after disconnecting the pressure in the pipe closes it. This allows you to stop the water current without turning off the crane.
Gum for sealing. They are located inside the rapid connection and do not allow water to go through the thread.

Standard dimensions

All connectors are designed for standard diameter hoses and are manufactured according to certain parameters. Universal adapters can connect tubes of different diameters, but in the domestic market these compounds are extremely rare.

Connector for Hose 3/4 ". With its help, it is quickly connected with a diameter of 3/4 inches or 19 mm.
The device with a diameter of 1 inch is designed for hose 25-26 mm in cross section.
Connector for Hose 1/2. It is used for pipes with a diameter of 12-13 mm.
More rare models 1/4, 3/8 and 5/8 inch are designed to connect the corresponding sizes of hoses.

Application area

The hose connector is used everywhere where there is a need to use water supplied from the hose.

The most widespread use of rapid compounds when watering houses, lawns and flower beds, connected to car wash equipment.

When choosing a material and the size of the adapter, the following factors must be taken into account:

Working pressure in the pipe.
The diameter of the flexible tube and the size of nipple.
Weather conditions at the time of use.
The possibility of mechanical damage of reinforcement for watering.

Other watering fittings

The connector for the watering hose is only one of the elements of the connecting reinforcement for watering. For its successful work, other parts are required.

Nipple. It is a cone connecting two connector. His ends are arranged gum, ensuring the tightness of the connection. This element can be two types: Standard and Power Jet. Depending on this, a quick connection is selected. Two elements of such reinforcement cannot be fastened with the help of parts of different sizes.
Tee. It is an analogue of nipple. The difference lies in the fact that it has three connections with a connector.
Coupling. Connects two flexible tubes. If the gene is reduction, then with its help you can connect the hoses of various diameters.
Adapter for a crane. This device is designed to connect the hose to the water supply. Depending on the crane thread, it can have an external or inner cutting. On the other end is the nipple connector.
Pistols and rods. There is a huge number of rods of various modifications. At the end they have a nipple connector suitable for a connector.

All elements of watering junction fittings are necessary to ensure convenience in operation. A variety of sizes and shapes allows you to choose elements that provide high-quality watering in each particular situation.

The decoding of the BRC is "quick-disconnect connections" or as they are sometimes called - hydraulic discontinuous couplings are designed to quickly switch the suspension equipment on special purpose techniques. BRS are used on hydraulic hammers and road construction, agricultural, forestry, in shipbuilding, food industry, in oil and gas production, as well as in any other hydraulic systems where the operational change of suspended equipment is required. You can meet quick disconnect connections for hoses on the agricultural processor, compressor or on snow removal techniques, on Bobcat excavators or tractor.

Constructively, the BRS consists of a coupling and nipple, which are inserted into each other, ensuring a reliable and hermetic compound of the hydraulic system.

Types of quick-disconnecting compounds for hoses

As a rule, quick-disconnecting compounds for hoses can be divided into three groups. BRS for ISO A and ISO B, Flat Face and Threaded Bras. The separation of products into groups is done specifically - this allows the buyer to better navigate in the range of compounds and pick up the BRP for itself, which exactly as much as possible meets its requirements.

You can choose BRC for use with low or ultrahigh pressure, BRS made from carbon steel, stainless steel or brass.

BRS for ISO A, ISO B sleeves is the easiest type of fast-taking compounds, most often occurs on agricultural machinery and in utilities, are intended for easy operating conditions, as well as where there are no high pressures. It has a ball bearing shutter and the valve system.

Push-Pull (for agricultural machinery)

IRB (carbon steel)
IRBO (Brass BRS)
IRBX (stainless steel)

BRS Flat Face - connections with a flat connecting part. This design does not allow when disconnected to flow oil, also in the case of the FF FF fall to the ground, the dirt will not fall into the inner part.

Firg is a quick disconnect connection with a shut-off area (ISO 16028), used in hydraulic systems, where it is necessary to eliminate the possibility of external oil leaks and is the risk of pollution of the liquid. BRS Firg provide a dry connector when disconnected.

FIRG AX / FL (stainless steel) for aggressive media
FIRG Q (carbon steel with heat treatment) for moderately aggressive media (for example: distilled water, water glycol mixtures)
Firg A (outdoor connecting part - thread)
APM - Nipple for drainage, has a triple valve system (dual inner reset valve and valve with a shut-off area), designed for residual pressure in the hydraulic system
AHD - Socket for Nipple APM
A-HP - Special BRS design for RVD Holding Pressure 700 Bar

Threaded BRS - this type of quick-release compounds is used with very high, as well as pulse pressure. Most often used on career techniques.

IV-HP - Ball-type threaded BRS, are intended for high-pressure systems up to 700 Bar, used for cylinders, hydraulovers and hydraulic jacks
VEP-P - are used at high operating pressure and the need for a compound at a residual operating pressure in the system
VP-P - This type is designed for residual pressure in the hydraulic system, has a security ring that protects against arbitrary opening with strong vibrations.
VEP-HD - PRS data compounds are calculated for residual pressure in the hydraulic system, have a full connection indicator and a flange connecting part
