PVC Three-Way Pipe Fitting Mold with Inspection Port – Technical Description The PVC Three-Way Pipe Fitting Mold with Inspection Port is a precision-engineered tool designed for manufacturing high-quality PVC pipe fittings used in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid systems. This mold enables the production of three-way (T-shaped) pipe connectors with an integrated inspection port, ensuring durability, leak-proof performance, and ease of maintenance. Key Features 1. Three-Way Design - The mold produces T-shaped fittings with three openings, allowing fluid flow in multiple directions (typically 90° or 45° branch configurations). - Ensures smooth internal transitions to minimize pressure loss and turbulence in the pipeline. 2. Integrated Inspection Port - A dedicated inspection port is incorporated into the fitting, enabling easy access for cleaning, inspection, or troubleshooting without disassembling the pipeline. - The port is designed with standardized threads or a snap-fit cap for secure sealing. 3. High-Precision Core & Cavity - The mold features hardened steel or aluminum alloy cores and cavities to withstand high injection pressures and temperatures (typically 160–200°C for PVC). - Precision-machined surfaces ensure smooth demolding and consistent dimensional accuracy. 4. Cooling System - Strategically placed cooling channels optimize cycle time by ensuring uniform cooling and minimizing warpage or sink marks. 5. Ejection Mechanism - Automated ejector pins or plates facilitate smooth part release, reducing manual handling and production delays. 6. Corrosion Resistance - Critical components are treated with anti-corrosion coatings or made from stainless steel to prolong mold life in humid or chemical environments. Material & Performance - PVC Compatibility: Optimized for rigid or flexible PVC compounds, ensuring chemical resistance and long-term stability. - Pressure Rating: Produces fittings rated for standard PVC pressure classes (e.g., SCH 40, SCH 80). - Surface Finish: Mold textures can be adjusted to achieve glossy or matte finishes per customer requirements. Applications - Plumbing Systems: Connects pipes in residential/commercial water supply networks. - Industrial Pipelines: Suitable for chemical, wastewater, or compressed air systems. - Agricultural Irrigation: Facilitates multi-directional water distribution. Quality Assurance - Each mold undergoes rigorous testing to ensure dimensional compliance (ISO 4435, ASTM D2466) and pressure resistance. - The inspection port design is validated for leak-proof performance under operational conditions. Advantages - Efficiency: High-speed production with minimal post-processing. - Durability: Robust construction for extended service life (100,000+ cycles). - Customization: Adaptable to different sizes (e.g., ½" to 12") and inspection port designs. This mold represents an advanced solution for producing reliable, maintenance-friendly PVC fittings, meeting global industry standards for performance and safety.
