Question:

Water purifier water PE pipe and copper ball valve with lock nut connection reliability, and interface size requirements.

PE pipe size diameter 3/8, diameter 1/4, material: low density polyethylene, pressure 170psi;Valve material: copper, and PE pipe connection interface with lock nut.Is this connection reliable? Will the pipe break due to excessive compression? Are there any requirements for the size of the joint and the size of the nut?

Answer:

After the impact, for a period of time, PE pipe cracking phenomenon, this is what causes? This is connected to the tap water.Chasing the answerWhere is it cracked?!
First, 170psi pressure is not great, not excessive extrusion and rupture of polyethylene, but there will be stress relaxation phenomenon, is a long time there will be some loose, suggest you nut and pipe with tight mechanical connection is good, the data has not been studied, can only give you a suggestion: 24-48 hours after the installation is complete then a proper tight.
