Ever wonder how plumbers and HVAC guys connect pipes? They spend a lot of time fitting pipes and have some tricks you might not know about! This guide will take us through how to fit pipes – measuring them, cutting them and ensuring no leaks.
Well, before you can join pipes together,you must have the right size and length of each to be fitted. Pipe measuring may little bit tricky, but you can quickly do it by just following those simple steps. The first step is to measure the length of pipe you need (a tape-measure will work just fine). Ensure that when you take the tape measure along a pipe, it goes straight. Step 4: Cut the pipe to length using a plumbers Pipe Cutter. Be sure to cut slowly and carefully when using the cutter. It needs to be grooved on the top side of the pipe using a cutter. Once you find the groove and see that it is completely around the pipe, turn (not twist) with care until it breaks off cleanly....because otherwise you will end up with jagged edges that will be difficult to fit the pipes together.
You need to get to a point where your pipes are cut and you will be fitting them together. This is the trickiest part for some, but here are a few leak prevention tips: A good trick is to apply Teflon tape on the threads of your pipe fittings. Teflon tape is a kind of tape that can make about as tight seal, so the water does not come out. It will wrap around the threads and seal up tiny holes. You also need to ensure you tighten your fittings well. Rotate the fittings with a pipe wrench until snug (not too hard as to break pipes. Keep in mind the goal here is snug, not tearing.
Fitting pipes can be a challenge, but the right tools make it more manageable.

A deburring tool is particularly handy since it can be used after a pipe has been cut in order to eliminate any rough edges. This will make it simple for you to synchronise the pieces together effortlessly. Also, reminding you that we fit pipes — while fitting make sure to turn threads in Clockwise fashion for a better tightening. This makes it less likely that anything will slip around.
Defects in pipe fittingEven experienced plumbers make mistakes when it comes to joining pipes. One of the most common mistakes is when pipes are not measured properly leading to a poor fit. Either you will have difficulty attaching the pipes, should they be too long or short. Another error is when applying excessive amounts of Teflon tape, which can prevent proper tightening and abuse the fittings instead. Keeping the Pipes Clean Is Very Important The same if there is any dirt or debris inside, it can be difficult to get a good seal and that will just lead leaks.
