Pipe and pipe fittings go hand-in hand. Just as pipes are used for a variety of residential, public and industrial applications, so also the pipe fittings. No pipes can be connected without the use of proper fittings and flanges.

In most of the pipe fitting systems, contamination is the leading cause of problems. This problem demands for careful installation and regular maintenance so that the fittings can prevent any blockages or system breakdown. Depending on the type of the pipe fitting, there are different cleaning methods.

 

For example, one of the caring tips for cleaning hose or tube assembly is that the hose and tube assemblies should be blown out with filtered shop air or flushed and then should be blown out with a solvent which is chemically compatible with the hose material. The ends of the hose / tube assembly should be capped or plugged till the time the assembly is installed.
