React pump pipe fittings supplied
4.2.14.
The React pump is supplied with the following
16 bar (160m) pipe fittings. We have used
these fittings to test the React pump at up 30
bar (300m) and so far have never split a fitting
but we have burst pipes (see right). These
pipes were not rated for the head we were
testing to.
Pressure ratings (working pressure) do
include a good factor of safety and bursts are
unlikely provided the water temperature is not
too high.
If pumping to >16 bar (160m) the fittings supplied (for heads <160m) may not be suitable.
Fittings and pipe approved for the operating pressure will need to be purchased with the
pipes from a local supplier. Seek local supplier advice for higher pressure applications > 16
bar.
Note we have moved to mainly stainless pipe fittings that can cope with 30 bar pressure,
picture above shows 16 bar plastic fittings.
