Hypro offer a range of fittings and adaptors suitable for sprayer plumbing including; elbows, tees, plugs, reducers and nipples with both threaded and hose bard connections.
Nylon fittings are generally acceptable for use at working pressures up to 10 bar at ambient temperatures. At very low pressures, temperatures can approach 80ºC with no degradation in the performance.
Nylon has resistance to a range of chemicals including most agricultural chemicals, ammonium compounds, detergents, diesel fuel, ethanol, gasoline, hexane, magnesium sulfate, most sodium compounds, tricholrethylene, and zinc sulfate. Nylon fittings should not be used with acidic fertilizers, bromine, chlorine, fluorine, hydrochloric acid, iodine, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, or xylene.
Polypropylene fittings are generally acceptable for use at working pressures up to 10 bar at ambient temperatures. An increase in working temperature is accompanied by a decrease in acceptable operating pressure. At 60ºC the working pressure limit is 6 bar.
Polypropylene has resistance to a range of chemicals including most agricultural chemicals, acidic fertilizers, ammonium compounds, calcium carbonate, ethanol, hydrochloric acid, magnesium sulfate, oxalic acid, propionic acid, phosphoric acid and most sodium compounds. Polypropylene fittings should not be used with aromatic hydrocarbons, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, hexane, kerosene, nitric acid, sodium hypochlorite, toluene trichloroethylene, and xylene.
PVC fittings are suitable up to 5 bar pressure, but they can be easily glued, threaded and machined making them ideally suited to DIY spray lines. PVC fittings deteriorate over time so should be regaularly checked.
To select a pipe, hose and pipe fittings specify the size of the nominal bore - NB (inside diameter). Hosetails and hoseclips are identified by their outside diameter - OD.
