56-00002 Connectors, Interconnects

56-00002 is a plumbing accessory consisting of two hinged semi-circular segments along with a threaded connector, all made from stainless steel material. The two hinged parts are connected together by the threaded connector, which is tightened to form a pipe joint. The purpose of this plumbing accessory is to create a seal in below grade applications.

Application Field

This 56-00002 plumbing accessory is mainly used in underground plumbing applications, such as in installation of sewage pipes and the connection of underground water service lines. They are also used in any situation where a seal is required in below grade applications, such as septic tanks, retaining walls, and utility pipes. This accessory is designed to work with any pipe material or jointing system and can be used for both cold and hot water installations.

Working Principle

The 56-00002 plumbing accessory operates by utilizing threaded connectors to join two hinged segments in an even semi-circle. These threaded connectors are tightened by hand-wrenching until a seal has been created. The two hinged components themselves are designed to keep pipes in place as well as provide an air tight seal. The size and shape of the 56-00002 parts can vary in order to accommodate different sizes of pipes.

Once the two parts have been joined together with the threaded connector, they must be further sealed with a sealant. This sealant helps to create an even tighter seal which is better able to prevent any dirt or debris from getting in between the pipe and the plumbing accessory.

The 56-00002 plumbing accessory can also be used with compression fittings. These are designed to connect two pipes together without the need for any threaded connectors. Once the compression fittings are firmly in place, the 56-00002 plumbing accessory can be attached to the pipes in order to create a seal.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 56-00002 plumbing accessory is essential for underground plumbing applications. The two hinged components and the threaded connectors create a seal that is able to keep dirt and debris out of the pipes. It can also be used with compression fittings to further refine the joint for a secure and airtight connection. Overall, the 56-00002 plumbing accessory is a reliable and effective solution for below grade applications.
