What is the effect of installation position on the performance of push-in brass fitting

In the fluid transmission system, the Push-In Brass Fitting is the core component connecting the pipeline and the equipment. The stability and reliability of its performance are crucial to the efficient operation of the entire system. However, the performance of the joint is affected by many factors, among which the installation position is a factor that is often overlooked but extremely important.

The influence of the installation position on the stress situation
The installation position is directly related to the mechanical environment that the push-in brass fitting is subjected to. In a complex and changeable industrial environment, the joint may be affected by various mechanical factors such as tension, pressure, shear force and torque from different directions. These mechanical factors may not only affect the sealing performance of the joint, but also cause fatigue and damage to the material.
Consideration of the force direction: When the push-in brass fitting is installed in a position with inconsistent force directions, such as elbows or corners of the pipeline, the joint may loosen or leak due to uneven force. Therefore, during installation, it is necessary to ensure that the force direction of the joint is as consistent as possible with the pipeline axis to reduce the potential risks caused by uneven force.
Effect of vibration and shock: In environments with frequent vibration and shock, such as pump rooms and compressor rooms, push-in brass joints may become loose or damaged due to frequent vibration. In this case, it is particularly important to choose joints with good anti-vibration and anti-shock performance. At the same time, additional fixing measures can be taken during installation, such as using shock pads or mounting brackets, to enhance the stability of the joint.

Relationship between installation position and fluid characteristics
The performance of push-in brass joints is also affected by fluid characteristics, and its installation position determines the flow state and temperature distribution of the fluid at the joint.
Effect of flow state: In a fluid transmission system, changes in flow state may aggravate the scouring and corrosion of push-in brass joints by the fluid. For example, when the joint is installed in a position where the fluid velocity changes drastically or turbulence is severe, such as a pipe diameter change or near a valve, the wear and damage of the joint may be accelerated. Therefore, these positions should be avoided as much as possible during installation, or measures should be taken to slow down the fluid velocity and improve the flow state to ensure the long-term stability of the joint.
Consideration of temperature distribution: The fluid is accompanied by the transfer and conversion of energy during transmission, resulting in temperature changes. If the push-in brass connector is installed in an area with large temperature changes, such as near a heat source or cold source, the connector may become loose or leak due to thermal expansion and contraction. Therefore, when installing, the thermal expansion coefficient and temperature adaptability of the connector should be fully considered, and the appropriate installation location and material should be selected to cope with the challenges brought by temperature changes.
