Outside the check valves
There are three different types of ball valves. A full port ball valve offers no flow restriction, which means that when the ball valve is open, the liquid can flow freely through it. This is achieved by making the ball larger than the passage size, so that the hole bored through it can be the same size as the passage. A standard port ball valve does not have an oversized ball, and as a result the hole is one size smaller than the passageway. This presents a small amount of flow restriction as the fluid passes through the ball valve. A reduced port ball valve, on the other hand, has an even smaller ball and an even smaller hole, which creates significant flow restriction as the fluid passes through the valve.
The majority of time the check valve is installed backwards. This arrow indicates the direction of flow. This arrow should be pointing along the line to outside the house and away from the pump. Since the check valve only lets water flow in one direction, if it is installed backwards nothing flows through the pipe and pressure builds in the line. This causes the pump to stop functioning properly. That being said if owners are experiencing problems with a newly installed pump, one of the first things to do is to double check the check valve.
Units used to link up flexible cross linked polyethylene pipes used in diverse plumbing water schemes are called as PEX fittings. Since, PEX tubes have emerged as cost effective and trouble free alternatives to copper and plastic tubes and pipes, so they need similar efficient fittings. Freedom from troubles of corrosion and scaling can be easily achieved through these fittings. An arrangement of PEX fittings with PEX tubing has emerged as a brilliant alternative to traditional methods of water plumbing.
