What Is a Push Lock?
A push lock is a component used in liquid/gas piping and water supply systems to facilitate pressure regulating work.
Push locks can be used by simply inserting a pipe directly into the push-lock, making it a one-touch fitting.
The push lock does not require any on-site processing, which saves installation costs, and it is also easy to manage the connection work.
Push lock fittings are available in straight, cheese, elbow, and other shapes, and the number of units and shape can be selected according to the intended use.
Uses of Push Locks
Push locks are resin-made piping components used to prevent locknuts from loosening due to machine vibration.
It can be used for water supply and hot water supply. The joints are available in straight or cheese types, so the number of units can be increased or the direction can be changed according to the application.
It can also be converted with different types of piping, and rigid polyvinyl chloride pipes for water supply can be directly connected to polybutene pipes.
Principle of Push Locks
The collet serves as the component that holds the pipe when inserted and prevents the pipe from detaching from the fitting.
The O-ring is a sealing material made of durable EPDM rubber, and the receiving plate is a nylon component to prevent the O-ring from falling out.
These parts allow the pipe to function as a conversion joint because it can be held robustly in the push lock.
Also, the smaller the pressure fluctuation, the more stable the pressure can be supplied, thus reducing and increasing the amplitude of increase or decrease in flow rate.
To protect against the effects of electric corrosion and water quality, materials with excellent corrosion and heat resistance are used.
The type with a back-flow mechanism can be used as a regulator between the actuator and the solenoid valve, so it can also function as an equipment regulator.
