What is the transition metal pipe between the plastic water supply pipe and the water heater?

What is the transition metal pipe between the plastic water supply pipe and the water heater?

Answer:

This is a water storage type electric water heater installation and use of PP-R material, and is connected with the water heater outlet and below the triangle valve components is a special joint installed in the water heater, the components are used to transition metal tube connected with the plastic pipe, the connecting way is to facilitate future maintenance.
In the PP-R piping system, the transition between the metal pipe and the plastic pipe needs a transition piece, the transition piece and the PP-R pipe are connected by hot melt, and the transition part is connected with the metal pipe through a screw thread.
The transition piece is a combination of plastic and metal, and the two materials are processed by injection molding process, and the anti leakage sealing is realized through the internal structure without adding other adhesive materials.
