Plumber shows how to make a tricky transition for pipes of different sizes and materials

Hi friend. Drinking water from a plastic bottle, you throw it away and do not even think that this garbage can be used in an interesting way.

Many will say:"The author of the article was out of his mind, but these adapters cost little things, etc." Yes, but this information that will be shown to you is not superfluous. Perhaps in any situation you will apply the properties of water bottles, remembering about my article. Six months ago, I showed how you can strengthen the connection of plastic sewer pipes, to which access will be limited, this is what happened:

Well, now I am demonstrating how two pipes of different diameters and even materials can be connected.

In this case, connect an iron pipe with a diameter of 73 mm with a plastic pipe with a diameter of 50 mm.

In order to make an adapter, you need a plastic bottle, slightly larger in diameter than the pipe. It is important not to use bottles that are much wider than the pipes in circumference. Here, for example, a five-liter bottle is not appropriate.

Cut off the bottom and neck of the bottle. As shown in the photo.

And this "stub" must be heated with a construction hair dryer together with the pipe, if you do not have a hair dryer, then use an ordinary gas burner, its price is only 300 rubles.

Due to the temperature effect, the plastic tries to return to its original state and shrinks. We do the same with the connected piece of pipeline.

Having thrown the blanks on the pipes, we warm them up completely. So that the plastic is as narrow as possible. Here's an adapter turned out.

But apart from that, it accidentally turned out to be a compensator. If the adapter sits tightly on a rusty pipe and cannot be pulled out from there, then the plastic crawls perfectly in this connection if you apply force. Thus, we got a compensator. Which is needed in certain conditions. Plumbers will understand.

Naturally, such a pipeline will not be one hundred percent tight if used under water pressure. But in ventilation, or in a gravity sewer, you can use it, but very carefully.

If the connection is glued or sealed with rubber bands, the tightness will be high.
