Polypropylene threaded extensions: a versatile product from our tech HIDRAULICO®️ system | Bucchi Srl

BUCCHI s.r.l. is pleased to present to you a pipe extension system with G1 ISO 71 threaded male ends, the result of years of experience that offers numerous advantages over traditional galvanised steel or PVC systems, belonging to the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system.

The tech HIDRAULICO®️ system undergoes stringent quality controls at all stages of the production process, from incoming materials to finished products. Our laboratories are equipped with modern equipment and highly qualified personnel, guaranteeing a consistently high degree of quality.

The material of the threaded extensions of the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system is polypropylene PP, a strong, light and inert plastic material. Polypropylene has excellent mechanical and thermal properties, and is immune to corrosion, scaling, pressure drops and electrochemical phenomena. In addition, polypropylene is suitable for food contact and absolutely non-toxic, and the diverse range of the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system allows for easy assembly as required.

The colour of the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system hoses is brown similar to RAL 8002, which harmonises with the environments in which they are installed and ensures an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The threaded joint makes it easy to assemble our product, and the lightweight and easy handling of the hoses allows for quick and cost-saving installations.

The durability of the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system, based on the temperature-dependent pressure variation for water or fluids, is a feature that adds value to this product. The guaranteed operating conditions over 50 years are 20°-10 bar.

The threaded extensions of the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system comply with the conical GAS connection standards according to DIN 2999-ISO 7/1 and are certified according to the current RINA regulations for plastic pipes in the nautical environment.

In order to achieve maximum performance, it is important to follow certain warnings and guidelines for installation, especially when it comes to outdoor installations. Outdoor installations are subject to thermal expansion, which can cause the pipes to warp and deform if proper precautions are not taken. For this reason, fixed points and sliding points are necessary to control and limit the movement of the pipes. Fixed points are supports that lock the pipe in a certain position, preventing it from sliding. Fixed points should be positioned at a pipe junction with a sleeve or fitting, and are useful for protecting delicate sections of line and equipment. Rigid brackets or anchors are recommended at changes of direction, reductions, and near valves, taps, meters, etc. Sliding points are supports that allow the pipe to slide freely in a longitudinal direction, following length variations. Sliding points are positioned at a free pipe section, either vertically or horizontally, and serve to align the system. The clamping intervals for sliding points depend on the operating conditions, the average wall temperature of the pipe, the density of the transported liquid, and the diameter and thickness of the pipe.For fixed and sliding points, rubber-coated metal brackets or collars are used, firmly anchored to the masonry, which wrap around the pipe.

To ensure a good seal, we recommend using loctite 55 multi-fibre nylon sealant, which can be found in our catalogue under code 0800922. By following these simple instructions, you will be able to install the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system safely and effectively, and enjoy its benefits for many years.

If you would like to know more about threaded extensions or the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system, our experts will be able to provide you with the technical information you require.

Attacchi per serbatoio ridotti maschio-femmina in Polipropilene, la soluzione più versatile per il passaggio di liquidi nello stoccaggio

BUCCHI S.r.l., azienda leader nel settore dei componenti per impianti idraulici, presenta gli ATTACCHI PER SERBATOIO RIDOTTI MASCHIO E FEMMINA in polipropilene, la soluzione ideale per il trasporto e lo stoccaggio di liquidi degli impianti idraulici che prevedono l’utilizzo di serbatoi. Ecco i modelli che compongono la gamma degli attacchi a serbatoio ridotti maschio e femmina con corpo e collare il Polipropilene e guarnizione in EPDM.0400329 E 0800329 con guarnizioni sottili per pareti regolari mentre 0400328 e 0800328 con guarnizioni spesse per pareti irregolari.Gli ATTACCHI PER SERBATOIO RIDOTTI MASCHIO E FEMMINA in polipropilene sono progettati per garantire la massima sicurezza e affidabilità in diverse applicazioni, come:• stazioni di raccolta e sollevamento acqua• serbatoi• impianti di trattamento e recupero acqua• contenitori per stoccaggio di liquidi vari La loro particolarità e comodità è che in un solo ATTACCO PER SERBATOIO RIDOTTO vi sono due tipi di filetti, uno maschio esterno (gas cilindrico UNI ISO 228/1) e uno femmina interno (gas cilindrico UNI ISO 228/1), che consentono di collegare facilmente i raccordi tra loro o ad altri elementi, senza bisogno di sigillanti, a contatto con la parete del serbatoio, grazie alla guarnizione EPDM integrata. I raccordi filettati in polipropilene sono disponibili in 6 misure, da 1/2” x 3/8” a 2”x 1” 1/2, e in due colori, polipropilene grigio o nero, a seconda dell’uso previsto.Il grigio è indicato per applicazioni industriali, dove il polipropilene sostituisce il PVC filettato, offrendo una maggiore resistenza alla temperatura e alle sollecitazioni.Il nero è ideale per l’agricoltura e il giardinaggio, dove il polipropilene sostituisce i raccordi metallici, garantendo una maggiore durata, evitando la corrosione e una atossicità, importante per uno stoccaggio o una movimentazione di liquidi alimentari. I raccordi filettati in polipropilene hanno inoltre delle ottime caratteristiche meccaniche, come:• resistenza alle basse temperature (0°C)• temperatura massima di esercizio (80°C)• pressione di esercizio (10 bar a 20°C)• resistenza meccanica e all’urto• resistenza alla trazione, compressione e flessione Per installare i raccordi filettati in polipropilene, basta seguire alcune semplici regole, come:• non serrare eccessivamente i raccordi, per evitare uno sforzo inappropriato e un eventuale funzionamento difettoso.-Serraggio Max materiale PP-PP: 1/4” 2Nm, 3/8” 3Nm, 1/2” 6Nm, 3/4” 8Nm, 1” 10Nm, 1”1/4 15Nm, 1”1/2 20Nm, 2” 25Nm.• scegliere il tipo di guarnizione più adatto, (guarnizione EPDM) a seconda della parete del serbatoio o del contenitore: spessa per pareti irregolari o non omogenee, sottile per pareti regolari o lamiere.
