Stainless Steel Rounders
The stainless Steel rounders are designed to be used in situations with high flow rate requirements, around 2000 to 5 000 Litres Per Hour. Note that large Rounder units are avaliable on request, please contact us if you are looking for a rounder to handle a higher flow rate.
- The Stainless Steel rounders use standard filter sizes, making replacement costs relatively inexpensive.
- The Stainless Steel Rounder holds 5 or 7 filters working together at the same time increase the total flow capacity possible.
- The Stainless Steel Rounder comes in both a screw type lid and a flanged type lid, please phone to check on the avaliably of both kinds.
The Stainless Steel Rounders are compatible with: Melted Spray Sediment filters, Pleated Sediment Filters, String Wound Sediment Filters and Activated Carbon Blocks.
Approximate Flow rates*:
10 Inch Stainless Steel 5 Rounder - 2000 litres per Hour
10 Inch Stainless Steel 7 Rounder - 2500 Litres per Hour
20 Inch Stainless Steel 5 Rounder - 4 000 Litres per Hour
20 Inch Stainless Steel 7 Rounder - 5 000 Litres Per Hour
* Please keep that these flow rates are based on the use of 5 Micron Sediment Filters using municipal quality water. In the case of small micron or activated carbon filters the flow rate will be less. The flow rate will also be less where the source water quality is very poor.
PVC Threaded and Glue Fitting
PVC(Polyvinyl chloride) fittings are used to connect sections of pipes or tubes, adapt to different sizes or shapes, and control the flow of water. There are two predominant types of PVC fittings namely PVC Glue Fittings and PVC Threaded Fittings. The difference between the two is that PVC Glue Fittings result in permanent joints and PVC Threaded Fittings are semi-permanent and can be replaced. PVC Glue fittings are joined with primer and cement- a chemical solvent that melts the surface of the PVC and then quickly re-hardens to fuse the pieces together. This results in an airtight, leak-proof bond similar to what you get with welding metal. An example of such a fitting is a PVC Glue Reducing Socket which is used to join together two pieces of PVC pipes with different diameters. Another example would be a 90 Degree Elbow which is used to connect two pipes of the same diameter at an angle of 90 degrees.PVC Threaded fittings utilize a simple threaded connection whereby replaceable 'male threaded' are screwed into 'female threaded'.Male threads have a thread on the outside of the fitting and female threads have a thread on the inside. When you thread the fitting in, it compresses against the other threads.PTFE tape is used to thread these together and the proper way to assemble threaded fittings is to finger tighten, then add one to two turns but no more. An example of a threaded fitting is a Reducing Nipple Male Threaded, which connects two female threads of different diameters.
