For regulating equipment (water heater, conditioning

tank and similar equipment); a way to unite two pipes
which can be detached without causing any
deformation to the pipes.

Are used to join pipes made from dissimilar metals to

avoid electrolysis, which leads to corrosion and pipe
failure

One externally threaded, one internally threaded

Third opening perpendicular to the plain of run

a pipe fitting which is threaded on both the inside and

the outside so that it can be used to connect
two pipes (or other fittings) of different sizes.

connecting two other fittings. <300mm

A cap attaches to the exterior of a pipe, and may have

a solvent-weld socket end or a female-threaded
interior.

A tee, the most common pipe fitting, is used to

combine or divide fluid flow. It is available with female
thread sockets, solvent-weld sockets or opposed
solvent-weld sockets and a female-threaded side
outlet.

Are pits into which concrete, brick or cement block

walls have been placed. Wastewater flows into the
cesspool and drains or “percolates” into the soil
through perforated walls. Cesspools (Leaching pools)
Cemented Wet Pit

is a machine which will increase the pressure of a

fluid. They may be used with liquids or gases, but
the construction details will vary depending on the
fluid Booster Pump

Is a positive-displacement pump that consists of

vanes mounted to a rotor that rotates inside a
cavity. Rotary Pump

Is a type of positive displacementpump where the

high-pressure seal reciprocates with the piston; can
be used to move liquids or compress gases; High
pressure operation can be achieved without a
strong effect on flow rate Piston Pump

1
1 Is a type of positive displacement (PD)pump. It
moves a fluid by repeatedly enclosing a fixed
volume using interlocking cogs or gears,
transferring it mechanically using a cyclic pumping
action Gear Pump

A crankshaft—related to crank—is a mechanical

part able to perform a conversion
between reciprocating motion and rotational
motion. It is typically connected to a flywheel to
reduce the pulsation characteristic of the four-
stroke cycle; compound Crank and Flywheel Pump

Works by having an intake (usually at the bottom of

the hull) that allows water to pass underneath the
vessel into the engines. Water enters
the pump through this inlet. The pump can be of a
centrifugal design for high speeds, or an axial
flowpump for low to medium speeds Jet Well Pump

is the most basic type of centrifugal pump typically

designed with a casing. The suction is present on
one end and the discharge is placed at the top.
Hence, the name end-suction pump is given; force
